I found this recipe in a realtor's marketing magazine, and it had all the elements of a great camp meal. It's from the "Simply Julia" cookbook by Julia Turshen. Pictured: The finished product did not disappoint! I purchased chicken breast tenderloins, which were easy to chop at the camp kitchen table, but it would be great with thighs, as well. I'd do one or the other, for cooking evenness, not mixed. The chicken breasts went into one pan, some jasmine rice in a pot on the o

I admit it - am a sucker for a Sloppy Joe! I'll get a craving flung on me and I'll look forward to them every night, 4-5 nights in a row. But camping - oh, man, the BEST! Pictured: Both burners cookin' - but neither of them has meat. Whaaaatttt???! I've started using Beyond Beef for my ground beef recipes... it is a meat substitute, and before you go getting all cray-cray on me, I do eat and enjoy meat. For reasons personal and planetary health-oriented, I have challenged mys

I frequently have steak when camping - It's an easy, satisfying, slightly decadent 2-Burner stove meal. I usually steam potatoes on the second burner, and have a salad - but this time I tried a sauté in the steak pan right after the steak - Mmmm! Pictured: Both burners cookin' I started the potatoes steaming on one burner (this time, purples!) and the steak sautéing in some garlic and some oil from the camp pantry and a bit of butter. I had a thick steak, so the plan was to s

I was spring camping and just had a craving for this simple dish, so satisfying at home or campsite. It comes together quickly and handles the 2-Burner stove well. Pictured: BBQ Mandarin Chicken is what's for dinner Since it's 2 burners, I had to choose either jasmine rice to serve it over, or steamed spring asparagus. I went with the asparagus, and a Waldorf salad (recipe to follow in the future.) Not really prep ahead on this one, just bring the ingredients - boneless chic

Burritos are a staple, for sure - but sometimes I just want something a little... more fun? Hard to say. But Fajitas - they do the trick for south-of-the-border camp cuisine. Just don't forget the lime and the cilantro, and you are better-than-good! Pictured: Chicken Fajitas ready to get in my mouth. You can slice before-hand and bring in ziplock bags, or get all zen in the camp kitchen and slice there. I like to make up rice and beans from a boxed/bagged mix over the second

The whole point of a 2 Burner Wonder is it is simple and "campable"~ nothing with 15 ingredients, nothing fussy or touchy. Things that come together easily, quickly, and taste wonderful before or after a day out in the open air. This works for boneless chops, or bone-in, or boneless chicken breasts, etc. Sauté in a little butter, oil, and garlic. Add herbs in the last five minutes to infuse the sauce. Stovetop Stuffing is an excellent camp side dish - it's boiling water, a bi

This 2 Burner Wonder is a favorite dish at home~ I was delighted to find it translated well to the campsite. Throw some rice pilaf on the other burner, salad, voila! Dinner! Look for other home-cooked favorites to consider for camping~ if it's easy at home, it's often easy on the camp stove. If you want to get ALL your cooking out of the way on night one, and have more fishing time on evening two, make two breasts instead of one. Keep the second chilled next to ice in the ic

This 2 Burner Wonder comes together in a half hour or less, and is SO satisfying. You will feel like you are pampering yourself. And you should. The last step - throw in a handful of washed baby spinach and flip around a bit until JUST wilting, and you are set. Yes hotdogs taste amazing camping - I have them frequently. So does this dish, and it takes about the same time to make. So sometimes it's the dawg, and sometimes it's the shrimp. Throw cooled leftovers in a ziplock in
