"Gourmet" camping foods

Okay, so it's not really gourmet, but that sure as heck beats pork 'n' beans from a camp, right?!

I never really thought to bring foods like this while camping, but it's making me reconsider what types of foods I should include in my pack. I wouldn't do this for just a one or two night trip, but if I were camping for a week or something? This would really break up the monotony!

 

I have a can cooker junior and there is nothing more gourmet than fresh cut up potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, sweet peppers, corn on the cob, seasoning, and chicken breast cooked to a scrumptious level. Simple, fast and a whole lot of good eaten. ...can feed a small group really quickly.



IT TASTES MIGHTY FINE....

 

How true - but then there are so many excellent sauces in the market place - one for every occasion and situation. I like the ones pictured. Though I am not really a vegetarian these packages are exceptional and very tasty. More than that, the package can provide a lot of sauce and does not need to be refirgerated. The product is made by Hothuck's Canada and can be bought at MEC. All it takes is 3/4 Cup of water [180 ml].

A creation such as this can be found just about anywhere by other manufacturers in your own community.

Can you imagine what our fore-bearers would think if they saw the incredible food stuffs and equipment that we have available to us today? Sam Steele wouldn't have been able to stop the hordes of gold diggers headed for the Yukon Territory in is day if they had all this stuff.

No one has ever complained when I used these products.



More UBI [Useless Bit of Information]
Thousands of men headed for the Gold Fields of the Yukon via the Chilkoot Pass. Ill equipped for the conditions they met many perished because of poor planning. Colonel Sam Steele of the North West Mounted Police had his men turn back thousands of ill equipped men to protect them.

 

It's Hothucks Canada [they make a whole line of products] though I'm sure that there would be similar goods in the U.S.
I got my CanCookerJr from Cabela's. It's just a bit different from using my Dutch Oven. The "Dutch" can do a lot more but the cooker can do a hearty meal in quick time - tasty too.

 

You are welcome. I haven't received my catalogue yet. BUT...even when I get it I promised that I would not purchase anything - I've just got to cut down on my spending.

 

Wow that looks great! I want to have this at home lol! But seriouosly, I will be checking your blog for recipes for our camping trips, which we love to take as often as possible. I will wow my husband wth this pasta recipe very soon. We are newlyweds and I have noticed that the way to his heart is through his stomach for sure!

 

That looks great! And I don't trust it at all. That is just asking for someone to get an upset stomach and ruin the trip. I know... it's happened before. And that is reason 1324 why I prefer taking trips by myself.

 

My husband likes to do most of the cooking while we are camping. He likes to show off his survival skills,lol. I just love that man!
