Healthy Camping Recipes

Quick breakfast made over the campfire or in the oven, very filling! Modified from Cowboy Quiche recipe from camping club website.

Usually done while camping, I decided to try this tasty recipe at home in my oven! Worked out great

Only three ingredients! (Note that Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies and is not vegetarian, but vegetarian substitutes are available.)

This is a yummy, healthy breakfast option

Slow Cooked Hearty Meal

Homemade applesauce is both simple and a great way to use up fresh apples. Two pieces of equipment will make this a simple and healthy recipe. You need a slow cooker and a food mill. Mine is made by OXO. I use this WONDERFUL kitchen tool for creamy mashed potatoes, sweet potato pie and apple sauce.
You don't have to peel or core the apples. Just cook them, and the mill will do the rest of the work!

Miso is a fermented bean/grain paste that originated in Asia. Always add your miso just before removing the soup from the heat.

A tempting dish that will delight all who consume it.

A treat that's lower in calories than a traditional smore, but very tasty.

A decedent way to get in a serving of fruit.

This is a recipe modified from something I invented a long time ago, back when I did survival training. The original "recipe" was squirrel meat, browned on hot rocks, along with cattail roots, wild-grown carrots (probably an old farm), one mint leaf, some wild spices, and water. I'm sure there was some ash and flies in there somewhere; that's what you get when you make stew on rocks and an uncovered metal container over an open fire. Don't worry; this recipe doesn't contain anything gross.

SparkPeople doesn't have mint, cattail roots, or squirrel as ingredients. Since most of you don't live near wetlands with cattails and you can't buy squirrel meat anyway, I substituted a parsnip and a large (3/4 pound) potato for the cattails and beef chuck for the squirrel. You can use any meat you like. I've seen goat, lamb, and other red meats in stores; go wild!

Please comment, including how many servings you get (I guess-timated four cup-plus servings) and how well it tastes with different combinations of meat and spices. It isn't for everyone, but many will like it.

I first made this during my camp counselor days and modified it to make in the microwave. YUMMY!

We take this to Holiday parties and on camping trips. Dress up the jar, and it makes a great Holiday gift.

This hearty yet better-for-you dinner is perfect for a camping trip, a cookout with friends, or just dinner on a Wednesday night.

One day I decided to substitute a can of black beans for garbanzo beans while making hummus. t might actually be better than garbanzo bean hummus. I added the basil because I had some growing in my garden.

A healthy, delicious morning cereal. I mix 1/4 cup of this cereal with a bowl of bran flakes, or a 1/2 strawberry yogurt, and sliced fruit for a quick and healthy breakfast

Taken straight off the box of Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Lasagna, using low-fat 99% fat-free ground turkey and part skim mozzarella and ricotta.

This quick and healthy side dish takes just minutes to prepare! And as a bonus, it's an easy way to get the kids to eat their vegetables. (And if you don't like using butter spray, you could melt a few pats of butter and brush the butter on with a pastry brush - whatever your preference!)

-Yum
