Healthy Campfire food?

Tinfoil dinners pick your meat and any weg you want season the food wrap in tin foil and let it sit in coals not actual flame until the meat is coked and the veg is good I usually do hamburger with onions carrots beans but you can add tons of other veg and chicken is really good in it too!!

You can make a foil dinner...I make these in my oven at home but mine usually consist of nothing but veggies with alittle pam spray

Kabobs are usually pretty easy. Just a matter of slicing up a bunch of veggies and a meat to roast over the fire.

I made campfire cabbage rolls a few weeks ago - the comments others have made are good direction for these too! I mixed a filling (I searched my fridge for veggies and ended up with onions, carrots, celery, asparagus, and a can of tomatoes, along with pork sausage, bacon, and a little leftover cheese), blanched a head of cabbage, peeled off the leaves, and made the rolls. I put the rolls (and the leftover filling/chopped cabbage) in some aluminum foil, and stuck it on a bed of coals for about 30 minutes. They were perfect, and my husband, friend, and brother stuffed themselves. We reheated the leftovers later, and they were great too. Good luck!

I love corn on the cob over a campfire or grill.... peel off the outer husk, leave all the inner leaves on... or wrap it in aluminum foil and cook...so good!

This isn't for the campfire but I made a 7 layer salad for our camping trip this past weekend! It was a big hit! 1 cup is 5 carbs! I'll be making this again! Just google 7 layer salad and lots of recipes come up! Good luck!

Camping omelets - Chop all the ingredients you'd like in an omelette, scramble a bunch of eggs ahead of time (egg whites only if you prefer). Boil water over your fire, combine a scoop of egg and your other ingredients in a ziplock Freezer bag and throw it into the boiling water until it's cooked. Must be freezer bags, because thinner bags can't tolerate the boiling water.
Enjoy!

I just got back from camping over the weekend. I did have some junk but also managed to fit in some healthy things!

A couple items: omelets (egg whites, peppers, soy sausage or any other meat cooked ahead, cheese if you'd like) add to zip lock bag and mix. Add baggies to boiling water cook about 10-15 min. They turned out perfect! No dirty pans or spatulas to
clean up!

Fajitas- I cut up and marinated steak and chicken ahead of time. Also cut up all my veggies ahead. I cooked it all on a grill but I suppose you could cook it at home first. Anyway we had a bit left over from dinner so I individually wrapped them in foil paper and we ended up putting them on the hot rocks that surrounded the pit for a late night snack.

I also took cut up watermelon, apples, bananas, pistachios, and peanut butter and celery.

With a little thought you can cook almost anything over a campfire. It's been few years since I've been camping (no since i threw my back out and had to stop sleeping on the ground) but here are a couple of out traditional recipes.

Garlic marinated shrimp skewers. Before you leave, puree 1/8 to 1/4 c olive oil (amount depends on how many shrimp you need to coat, most of the oil will drip off into the fire so don't worry too much about it) and 6-10 cloves of garlic (depending on your tastes), add salt and pepper to taste. Place in a freezer bag with large raw peeled shrimp. Toss the shrimp well to coat and get all of the air out of the bag before sealing it. When you are ready to prepare the shrimp, put them on metal, or well soaked wooden skewers. Add whatever vegetables you like, chunks of onion, peppers, cherry tomato, zucchini, mushrooms all work well. Grill them a few minutes on each size until done. Variation - reduce the garlic and add ginger and a splash of tamari for a more asian flavor.

Herb roasted turkey breast - In a large sheet of heavy foil place 1/2 boneless turkey breast, 3 ice cubes, 1 tbsp butter and stems of whole fresh herbs. I usually use lots of chives, 2-4 stems of tarragon and 4-6 sage leaves. Don't chop them, leave them whole. Make sure the herbs are arrayed around the turkey breast as you wrap it in the foil. Make sure to seal all the edges well so no juice leaks out. Wrap the turkey in about 4 layers of foil. Can be placed on a low grate directly over the fire or over coals. Every so often rotate or turn over the turkey so it bastes in the juices. Cooking time will be anywhere form 15 to 20 minutes per pound but this will vary greatly with the temperature of the fire. I usually allow 15 min per pound, pull it off and let it rest for 15 minutes near to the fire but not over it. If you slice it and find that there is little pink in it, cut it into thicker "steaks" and grill them for a minute.

breakfast I would just bring a yogurt and granola. I also second the tinfoil meals. We do this at home a lot on the girl. I measure out like 3oz of turkey burger and a ton of veggies. Peppers, onions, carrots, potatoes etc. spray the foil with olive oil spray and voila!!

Corn in foil!!!

Yum..that sounds amazing!
