Answer 2

Are you next door to the camp for 1,000 miles from the camp??????

Do you want a main dish, vege, dessert you have left this
wide open.

I would suggest no knowing anything about these things--

SPICED APPLE SAUCE COOKIES

1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup unsweetened applesauce

Cream together the shortening and sugar. Add egg; mix thoroughly.
Sift flour, then measure. Sift measured flour with salt, baking soda, baking powder, and spices.

Add dry ingredients to creamed shortening and sugar, alternating with applesauce, then dry ingredients, etc, until all is combined.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets and bake in a preheated 375°F oven 8 to 10 minutes or until golden along edges.

Answer 3

Hey! I've got the PERFECT kid friendly, camp friendly dish... and it works for picky kids and kids who will eat ANYTHING.

Haystacks.

Take corn chips or tortilla chips
top with beans and/or ground beef
top with lettuce (shredded)
and add:
tomatoes
salsa
onions
cheese
guacamole
sour cream

kids and pick and choose what goes on their haystacks!

This works as a main course or as a side dish!!

You can do the same "build-it-yourself" concept with breakfast burritos...

large burrito (flour)
beans
eggs
cheese
salsa
tomatoes
ground beef if you like or sausages

the kids again can pick and choose what goes on their burrito!!!

Have fun with it... make it an adventure... get everyone involved in preparing the food... they'll have a blast!

KID'S FAVOURITE COOKIES

Answer 5

Have you ever heard of "pudgie pies"? You buy an iron sandwich maker, that has long handles and a latch to hold it closed. Butter the outside of the bread, place one slice (butter side on the metal) on each half of the cooker. Put ant of the below inside, latch, and cook in the coals like a grilled cheese sandwich (watch carefully--they burn easy).

Mozzarella, pepperoni & pizza sauce; ham & cheese; scrambled eggs & cheese; sliced hot dogs & canned chili; cooked bacon & cheese (tomato optional); or, for a sweet treat, your choice of pie filling with either bread or sliced pound cake (a dab of cream cheese with pound cake & blueberry is GREAT!!)

Side dish, Cheesy Hash Browns

1 2# bag hash browns, thawed. 2 cans undiluted cream of mushroom soup. 2 cups sour cream. 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
You can bake at 400 for 40 minutes, or put in a slow cooker for about 4 hours on high.

Answer 6

Snicker Salad

Cut up a few snicker candy bars (or even the mini ones work) depending on how much you are making, personal taste, etc.

Then cut up an apple or two (again, depending on how much you are making, personal taste, etc.)

And dump them in a bowl, and add Coolwhip to the mix - just make sure you have more Coolwhip than apples/snickers, so that the apples/snickers are completely swamped in Coolwhip! Just stir a bit, and you have something that everyone can enjoy!

Answer 7

How about...

Heath Bar Cookies

56 saltine crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
12 ounces milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts
Line a large cookie sheet with foil. Spray with cooking spray. Lay saltines to cover cookie sheet. Melt butter over medium heat, add brown sugar, bring to boil and boil for 1 minute only. Remove from heat and add baking soda. Spread mixture over crackers (make sure all crackers are covered with mixture). Bake for no longer than 10 minutes at 375 degrees.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips -- spread the chocolate as it melts over all crackers. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Let cool overnight or until set.
Note: We let ours cool overnight and decided to break the cookies apart instead of cutting into bars.


Have fun!!

Answer 8

Spaghetti will be nice and a good meal to feed many people. Side dishes for this could be tossed salad and garlic bread.
Macaroni and cheese for another meal's side dish. Main entree could be pork chop or chicken or meatloaf.

Answer 9

you can never go wrong with camp bags! these are made at home with aluminum foil, about 5 sheets per bag, and various meats and veggies. i make potato bags with cut potatoes, onions, peppers and sour cream. i season them with Sazon or Adobo. you can also make mini meat loaves, wieners and beans, chicken breast with veggies and any number of easy treats. they are so fun and easy to make, and they steam out beautifully after 10 minutes or so right on the coals. use plenty of foil or you may burn your treats. remember to turn them evey 3 minutes or so.


just wrap your camp bags securely with lots of foil and you too will be a happy camper:)
