Camping Clean

We have been having a great summer which unfortunately means that our blog has been a bit ignored. Hopefully you have taken advantage of our full schedule and have gone back through the blog to try a few of the recipes that you haven't had time to get to yet!  As I mentioned, we have been having a great summer which has included several camping trips (click here to see Miss Daisy).  Camping can be very difficult to navigate as you try to remain true to your new clean eating lifestyle so instead of actual recipes this time I am going to give you ideas on how you can please everyone and still stay on track yourself. 





















To make things fun we had four theme nights.  Our first evening was Italian. Using the Dutch Oven we made Veggie Lasagna (click here to view my previous post with recipe, but we substituted zucchini for the spaghetti squash), Grilled Garlic Bread and Salad.  The Dutch Oven is fun and versatile and allows us to make some really great dishes outdoors.

The second night was a Western Hoedown. Chicken was chunked and skewered to speed cooking.  Cabbage was grilled (click here for my previous post with recipe) and corn bread was made again in the Dutch Oven and of course Cooler Corn which is a WONDERFUL was to make a large amount of corn at one time.

The Feldman's love Mexican food so we definitely had to have a Fiesta the third night.  Millie marinated and grilled steak strips and all the fresh toppings were available of course!

Our fourth meal was on July the 4th so we went American all the way.  Grilled hamburgers and hotdogs along with dinner rolls and cheesy potatoes baked in the Dutch Oven, mac'n'corn in the crock pot, and fresh salads.

In addition to these wonderful meals we made each night we treated ourselves and the kids to nightly desserts of berry cobblers, s'mores brownies and Scratch Cupcakery for our Firecraker's birthday.
