Camping Recipes
Grilled Pasta Packets in Tin Foil
Description
This is a camping dinner that is so easy to throw together, and it does not include processed meats. Hooray! Cook your pasta before your camping trip and save it in a Ziploc bag. Then let everyone build their own pasta and toss it on the grill to heat!
Campfire Eclairs!
Cresent dough (Pillsbury although I would get the sheets vs the triangles)
Vanilla Pudding
Chocolate Pudding
Sticks for roasting over campfire
Place your dough on the bottom of your stick so it makes a dome
roast over the fire. This takes 10-15 minutes of roasting and rotation. (if you have smaller kids you will be doing this for them)
Once roasted take the dough tube and place on a plate. cool a little bit and fill with pudding and top with frosting. Voila! Campfire eclairs.
