If you are huddled in front of a roaring camp fire, then what could be better than preparing a delicious meal to enjoy under the starlit sky? 🙂
One of the main concerns in camping is food which is a big issue to those who do not want to cook a big meal which always means pots and pans and a lot of clean up.
However, there are various camping meals that you can cook in foil. These recipes ensure no mess and are really yummy because all of the flavors are prepared overnight before going to the camp site. We will be featuring several recipes that you can cook on your next camping trip. Links will be outlined for awesome foil wrapped camping recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
