I asked the JR Fam what your fave go to camping recipes are, that doesn’t include the standard s’mores and hot dogs! The JR Fam eat like kings and queens while camping…..and are way more creative than me. Here are a few that were texted in at 93-777! Maybe some good ideas before Canada Day weekend?!

Kristen from Langley: “Best part of camping for me is the whiskey smoked bacon!”

Eli: “Cut the top off an orange and hollow out the pesky fruit, then fill with brownie mix, put the top back on and tinfoil then place in the coals. Chocolate orange brownies 😵”

Claudia from North Delta: “Take one of these and put a Pillbury premade roll and fill it with Nutella, Chocolate, whatever! Stack another on top and you have a campfire pie! Or use it for grilled cheese!”

Jessie Rae from Langley: “Dorito bag taco salads are the bomb. Throw it all in the bag and shake it up!”

Tricia from Langley: “Bannock wrapped smokies!”

Rusla from Surrey: “Headed up Camping for the long weekend, my family and friends go every year and my dad spends all day roasting an entire pig…. this years he’s adding a lamb to the mix. Croatians don’t camp small!“

Sammi: “Fill an ice cream cone with chocolate and fruit and marshmallows. Wrap in tinfoil, grill on fire for delicious camp cones!”

Jennifer Pedersen : “We do Campfire Stew – ground beef/steak with potatoes carrots and corn (or any veggies of your choosing) wrapped up inside some tin foil with some salt and pepper. Cook right on the campfire for 10-15 mins.”

Fiona Young: “Campfire strawberries! Take a strawberry and poke it onto a roasting stick and cover in Marshmallow fluff/creme the roast covered strawberry over the fire until golden brown. Cooks the strawberry just a little to be extra juicy and some marshmallow without being too much. To die for and just a hint of healthy food.”

Stephanie Argitos: Take an English muffin, put pizza sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni or any of your favourite pizza toppings, wrap in foil and cook in the fire or in one of those cast iron sandwich makers! Soooooo yummy, we love them!”
