Peel the skin back from the chicken and generously season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, but season under the skin.

Just butter them up as they come off the pan, and they are perfect hand-held eats for now OR later.ĭinner Friday: No recipe needed, just cook those suckers over the fire. If you want to keep your sugar intake down, I love eating plain pancakes with some butter. Just like it sounds, roll the chicken into the pancake and have at it (it’s like a camping or on-the-go version of chicken and waffles). This is definitely our favorite breakfast, and if you make the right amount, it gives you leftovers to eat while you are driving home as well! If you have leftover chicken from the night before, try making pancake chicken burritos. Plus, it is healthy, meaning that you can go hard in the dessert.ĭessert Saturday: S’mores Dip, because I told you I was obsessed with s’mores! And honestly… you could probably just skip dinner and jump straight to dessert, I wouldn’t judge (been there, done that).īreakfast Sunday: Pancakes.

They are quick, easy and are basically no-mess. Lunch Saturday: Mountain House food packs for the win. This particular recipe is easy and can also be tweaked based on your personal likes and dislikes. And honestly, if I could have s’mores every single night, I would (and when I am camping, I do).īreakfast Saturday: This is the perfect day to try out a breakfast casserole! Breakfast casseroles are a favorite of mine, because I find that I can sneak in more vegetables with less complaint from my 3.5-year-old. I tend to gravitate toward the classic beer brat, but also love anything cheddar and with a spice.
The brats are a nice change from hot dogs, and I love the different flavors you can nab. I am a big fan of brats followed up by s’mores. ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (Saturday AM)ġ cup grated mozzarella cheese (Saturday AM)ġ-2 bone in, skin on chicken thighs per person, ½ for super little ones (Saturday PM)Ģ handfuls vegetables (I like green beans, carrots, and cauliflower) per person, ½ - 1 handful for littles (Saturday PM)Ĥ bars of chocolate (I am very partial to dark chocolate, but choose your adventure here!)ĭinner Friday: Do something quick and easy, as you may be getting in just in time to set up your campsite before dark! This isn’t the night to try a brand-new recipe. ½ pound Italian sausage, no casings (Saturday AM) 1 stick of butter (for greasing up the pan!)
