If you don’t get take out a lot, usually you can purchase these small condiment packets at a warehouse store, in large quantities, so you might want to go in with neighbors or a women’s group (unless you camp A.LOT). I love using these for camping because I don’t have to haul around a ton of different condiments in their regular sized containers (when I only need a small amount), which can take up valuable space, and I don’t have to worry about an entire container of something or another going bad, spilling, etc. Usually these are thrown away, but due to their size, can easily be stored in a plastic baggie and placed in a cooler or dry food storage box for camping. Throughout the year when you treat yourself to take out, save the extra condiment packets (the little packets of soy sauce, mayo, Parmesan cheese, etc.). Oh and here is camping tip number two of the day. Nothing fancy about this, just popcorn kernels, a little oil, Parmesan cheese, aluminum foil and a good ole’ campfire or grill!Īnd I know what you are saying, but can’t you just buy one of those campfire popcorn pots to make popcorn in? Yeah you could but why spend extra money or take up precious space in your supply box when some foil will suffice. So today’s tip is to remember simple is best when planning your camp menu! Simple like hot dogs, s’mores, and this Campfire Parmesan Popcorn. Nothing tastes better than a roasted (or grilled) hot dog served simply in a bun topped with nothing but mustard when deep in the heart of a camping trip!

Keeping things simple also applies to camp cooking. Yes you need to be prepared and organized (this key to a successful camping trip), but keep things simple and don’t sweat it. I think that a lot of people forget that this is what camping is all about. Just the great outdoors and good company. No cell phones, computers, or TV’s to be connected to. No fussing over gourmet foods, just simple meals and snacks (like this Campfire Parmesan Popcorn). Yeah it is a lot of work to pack and prepare and get your tent and campsite set up, but after that it is just relaxing and hanging out. So whether you're looking for a fun idea for your next cookout or simply an easy weeknight dinner, there's something here for everyone.One of the reasons I love camping so much is the simplicity.

Some of these foil packet ideas are grilling recipes and others can be made in an oven or even over a campfire. Check out the foil packs for chicken fajitas, maple-glazed salmon, and garlic steak and potatoes. But even just a 30-minute meal made in a foil packet can be a great option for weeknight summer dinners. 'The foil makes it fun, and it seals in all the delicious flavor and aroma,' Ree Drummond says about her foil-packet shrimp, 'And it's an out-of-the-ordinary presentation.' You don't even need plates to serve! This is incredibly helpful when you're in need of a camping recipe. All you need is a sheet of aluminum foil to make an easy dinner with minimal dirty dishes. or worse, cleaning it up! That's where these foil pack recipes come in handy.

When the weather outside is beautiful, the last thing we want to worry about is making dinner.
