New camping recipe: Banana Tacos



Kids love food wrapped in tortillas! Banana tacos make a yummy grab-and-go breakfast for early morning hikers or kayakers, or for campers who don't use a camp stove and would rather not start a fire first thing in the morning. More fun than granola!

Banana Tacos

Serves: 1

Ingredients:
1 soft flour tortilla
1 banana
peanut butter
chocolate chips (optional, but extremely desirable)

Preparation:
1. Spread the tortilla with peanut butter.
2. Peel the banana and place it on top of the peanut butter in the tortilla.
3. Roll it up.
4. Buen Provecho!

Variation:
• This is also yummy with Nutella. But what isn't?

Tablecloth weights: who knew?

Image
I was sitting on the patio at my in-laws’ house enjoying a nice cup of coffee when something gently bonked my leg. It was a teeny, tiny silver elephant, which was clipped to the corner of the tablecloth. This wee pachyderm appeared to be weighing down the tablecloth so it wouldn’t flutter up and blow away. A tablecloth weight! How genius! Who knew? It turns out, after an exhaustive Google search, that there are about a zillion kinds of clip-on tablecloth weights that you can purchase instantly, and for not too much $$, either.   Check these out: First off, how about the cute, little pewter RVs pictured above! Come on, campers, you know you want ‘em. http://dgworld.co.uk/blog/outdoor-cooking-equipments-romes-2034-set-of-4-2-5-inch-x-1-inch-vintage-rv-tablecloth-weights/ Or these slightly creepy 2” large black ants (these ones won’t spoil your picnic … in fact they might save it).

Our Very First Group Camping Trip

Image
photo credit: Nadine Wegner By guest blogger Peter Valentine Our kids’ class has a tradition of reserving a block of sites at a Campground in the Catskills for a start of summer multi-family camping trip. While we love camping, we were reluctant to open our quirky unit to a 24/7 togetherness campaign. Our messy, disorganized family of five can barely get to school on time (OK, we’re never on time) and running with the pack is often a challenge. But this year, we decided to give it a try. We started out early (for us) and still managed to be the last family there.   And as we tried to maneuver our food up to the now-waning community grill, and as our tent and gear still sat in a pile beside our car and as our kids’ requests for this and that grew more intense, all my fears were confirmed. This would be a prolonged display of the fact that our family was in a constant state of chaos management. And then one Mom handed me a plastic cup of single malt whiskey. And another Mom and Dad f...

Eggs in a Baggie! A Classic Camping Recipe

Image
We always make Eggs in a Baggie on camping trips. Even our kid who doesn't like eggs likes to make Eggs in a Baggie for someone else. That's because it's FUN! After you crack a couple of eggs into a Ziploc-style bag (we use the cheap kind) you get to squish them around to scramble 'em up: Squishing. After the eggs are thoroughly squished, you pop the baggie into a pot of boiling water (as usual, we had the wrong size bag, so we had to hold it there. With a smaller bag you can just toss it in): Simmering. Then, after 3 or 4 minutes of simmering, you just slide the cooked eggs out out of the bag and onto your plate. Voila! Eggs in a Baggie! Or should I say, Eggs a la Bag. I suppose Eggs in a Baggie are like coddled eggs in that they're both cooked in closed containers in simmering water.  But Eggs in a Baggie have a unique texture - airy and a little bit cake-like. They slip miraculously from the bag when they're done without any butter - but go ahead and add a pa...
