Omelet in a Bag

Since I just posted a dinner, here's a breakfast for camping! We did this one growing up too. I would suggest chopping as much of the food before your camping trip as possible. I'll just write the ingredients and you can figure out how much of what you'll need when you go to camp.

Camping Stove

Pot - 1/2-3/4 filled with water

Ziploc bag

Eggs

Choose your toppings:

Cheese

Tomatoes

Green peppers

Mushrooms

Meat - crumbled, chopped, or diced

....the list for toppings could go on... so think of what you like in your omelet and bring it!

Beat your egg(s) in a bowl; pour into a Ziploc bag. Add the toppings you want. Seal the bag and squeeze it around to mix everything up. Gently drop the bag into heated/slightly boiling water (you don't need a vigorous boil here, just hot enough). Cook the bags until the eggs are fully cooked. You'll know this because the eggs won't be runny and it will look like an omelet. Use tongs to take them out of the water. You can eat it right out of the bag or dump it onto a plate.

Foil Dinner

In honor of camping this weekend, here's a family favorite while outdoors. The recipe is for two people.

Coals or Embers

Aluminum Foil

2 Chicken Breast

2 Small Potatoes

2 Large Carrots

1 Medium Onion

1 Can Cream/Chicken Soup

Salt and Pepper

Prep your fire and push aside embers or prep your coal (if you don't know how to use coal, ask).

Tear off a piece of aluminum foil. Keep in mind all that is going into your foil - then you have to wrap it closed. So you'll need a decent size.

For each person:

Season your chicken with salt and pepper, lay in middle of foil. Dice potato, carrot and onion; spread over chicken. Dollop up to half a can of soup over vegetables. (right here you can omit the soup if you want to or substitute with a T of butter) Fold foil and seal well. Using tongs (or careful with your hands) place foil over coals/embers. Let cook 15 min. Flip and cook 10 minutes more.

Check the chicken to make sure it's firm - cooked. If needed, place back on coals for a few more minutes. Use tongs or mitts to take the foil off the coals. Open and eat!
