After much anticipation and a lot of tension around Truckee, I think that summer is finally here! One of my favorite summer activities (besides Mtn biking of course!) is packing up the jeep and heading to some remote lake or river, pitching the tent, hanging out in nature and of course the great camp foods. Doesn't everything always taste better when camping?! Why is that, well I think because I have some great camping recipes! I wanted to share just a few with you here.
HoboPies: chop all of these ingredients beforehand and put into Tupperware, and don't forget your tinfoil!
chop mushrooms, garlic, onion, half a yam or red potato, half a zucchini, a tomato (to keep everything moist) and one gardenburger.
sprinkle with some garlic powder, cumin, and an all purposes spice like ms. dash or Tony Chacheres (my fav!) than when your sitting by your fire, put your mix into the middle of a 8 -10 inch strip of foil, wrap and than continue to wrap with layers of foil until its in about 4 layers, than put on the fire, preferably in the hot coals and let cook, rotating every 5 min for about 20 min. open up and enjoy!
Banana Pancakes:
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (you can use 1/2 white flour)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sugar or agave
1 banana
1 1/2 cup milk alternative (soy, rice, almond)
1 tsp cinnamon
Mix all flour ingredients, mash banana separately than mix all ingredients together. Add more milk if you prefer thinner pancakes. spoon 1/3 cup into skillet over medium heat, until lightly brown. Top with fruit or maple syrup. makes 8.
other great ideas: canned beans, corn on the cob, premade veggie skewers
