Any tips or links and lists would be very much appricatatedThank you for your timeI really would to have it done by the time summer is over (altough it just started)
Aluminum is the lightest metal for the priceYou can find many shapes of aluminum, from sheet to extrusions in your local home improvement storeOr you could go to a metal supply company to get what you need for your project.
Can be eaten for breakfast or lunchServe with fresh fruit and bread/muffinThis is a super easy and everybody can have it their own way recipe but very yummy and perfect for campingBefore you start to make the omelets you will need to set a pot of water on to boil which can be on your camp stove or over your campfireYou need the quart size freezer Ziploc 1 for each person, then any omelet ingredients your campers preferA list of possibilities-ham cubes, bacon bits,diced cooked chicken, onions, green peppers, broccoli, shredded cheeses,or anything that works for youJust set out the carton of eggs 2 per omelet and have each camper crack their eggs into the ZiplocYou can also bring a small container of half and half and put some into each bag but it works well with just eggs tooThen everyone chooses from the extras what they would like in their omelet, drops it in their Ziploc, then zips it up and puts it into the pot of boiling waterIt takes approx3 minutes, but you can check the doneness with tongs.just lift the bag and lookIt actually will roll itself up into an omelet shape inside the bagWhen done just unzip roll onto your plate or into a soft tortilla, salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!!
There is nothing better than banana boats! Take aluminum foil and add chocolate chips, and any other types of fruit and marshmallow to crisp cooked on any grill in a dutch oven or in foil, whatever you chooseThey are really good thoughFrozen cream on top is really good tooIt's more like a breakfast dessert kind of thing though!
If your going to be grilling dinner, you may want to spend less time on cooking breakfast and lunch- prep and clean up is worth the fabulous evening meal, but make the most of your time! If you are coffee addicts like my daughter and I , you will need a morning fire at least, I usually take a couple of the pre-wrapped in plastic frozen buiscuits with eggs/cheese/sausage or whatever kind you like, take out of plastic, wrap in foil, and place near the hot coals, turn them oftenI have found the BEST coffee maker for camping is a melitta, simple funnel type- you just boil water and pour into the top funnelI have never figured out the camping percolator things, the melitta has always worked great( take a thermos to keep it hot if you drink it slow) But for lunch- go simplesandwiches are a great idea, and you won't be too hot and grill tired to prepare the salmon and chickenHave a blast- great bonding time!
Camping recipes are not any different from anything you can cook at homeYou will have a camping stove, right? That is just like your home stoveAnything you can BBQ at home is fine for campingWhat you want to try to do is not have a big clean up after a meal and that is why the BBQ is greatFor lunches I try to have things that don't require cooking or maybe something that is a one pot cooking, such as soup and sandwiches.
