Appetizer for camping:

I know I’m not alone that when I think if packing for camping I think of snacks & if I’m feeling fancy appetizers to share with our friends! When we head outdoors with friends, we usually know we’ll be swapping snacks & appetizers as we prep our meal or hang by the fire. Something about camping just says snackin’ and these are the best appetizers for Camping!

Eating Richly won me over with these Campfire or Grilled Stuffed Mushrooms. This has to be one of the BEST and unique recipes I’ve seen for the campfire. I can ensure, we will be making these this weekend! I’ll leave the kids to roasting their sweets, while I roast these!

Hot Tip:

When packing your food for camping snacks are important! However, too many processed foods are easy to grab & go. While balance is everything in a diet, don’t forget to pack fruits & veggies! These help ensure you get your fiber, vitamins and minerals. They will help you stay full longer, energized and not so sluggish. That way you can enjoy your treats guilt-free!

If you’ve been to BLC before, you know we live for a good Chacuterie Board, any day, any occasion and camping isn’t excluded. Chacuterie items are easy to store/use for other recipes (Camping 101, use ingredients for several camping recipes=less packing/items/more room). Everyone can chip in on bringing something and it’s fun how it rustically comes together. In my opinion my more and tasty than chips out of a bag.

Speaking of Chips, I am a sucker for nachos! These Grilled Nachos from Let’s Camp Smore are a great way to serve up your favorite appetizer making it easy for everyone to dive in. These include some fresh ingredients and even a sweet potato option!

Camping Hack!

See those aluminum pans used for Nachos? If are going to be reheating items in your stove or doing large quantities over the open fire, these are perfect! My favorite way to use them is to prep meals ahead of time. Put them in the aluminum pan with the lids, store and reheat! Less cook time, less cleanup, less water used and more time spent enjoying camping!

A classic and favorite around these parts is Cowboy Caviar, if you are going to dip into something or use it for a salad this is just the thing. Tasty Galaxy shares the perfect Cowboy Caviar recipe for camp, how to use it and what exactly it is!

Lunch Recipes for camping:

Lunch always seems to be super chill and just roll with the day at our camp. My boys love to keep it simple as we enjoy nature and we usually just revert back to sandwiches or wraps. Here are a few of our favorite lunch ideas for when you are camping.

This Giant Backpackers Sandwich from Eating Richly is the best sandwich for a day outside with layer upon layer of meat, cheese, tomatoes, onions, and condiments, stacked several inches high in a bread shell. Making it perfect to pack around and fill up on.

Into an open face sandwich? Try their Campfire Sausage Sandwich with Roasted Red Peppers!

Needing a gluten-free camping lunch option? This Big, Buff and Cheesy Gluten-Free Sandwich from This Vivacious Life is your ticket to a rustic and filling lunch. I’ve personally had This Vivacious Life’s homemade sandwiches and let me tell you, she knows how to make a meaty delicious sandwich.

Camping food packing tip:

Loose the bread and bring romaine lettuce or your favorite tortilla/wraps. This saves on bulky packing, smashed bread and adds extra fiber + gives you the option to make breakfast burritos as well.

Make ahead recipes for camping:

One of my favorite things to do when going camping is to make things ahead of time to just warm up/finish up when we get to camp. This saves me on time, gas, etc. Plus it just gives me more quality time with my family than in the kitchen. I’m all about relaxing while out in the woods. Try making these recipes ahead of time for your next camping trip. These get better as they sit a day or two allowing the flavors to be robust.

Our Elk/Venison Slow Cooker Chili is the perfect recipe for camping. Make it ahead of time, put it in a container and reheat. The flavors are unreal as they have combined. Pair it with your favorite fixings or my kids favorite way is to have Walking Tacos!

How to make Walking Tacos:

Take your favorite individual/snack size chips, crunch chips in bag, open, add into bag on top of chips cheese, chili, sour cream and combine. Give them a fork and let them enjoy their fun camping dinner out of a bag! Works great with your favorite meat seasoned with taco seasoning and adding in lettuce and salsa!

Recipe This has a great Instant Pot Baked Ziti With Homemade Ragu it is easy to make and provides you with the ultimate creamy sauce for your baked ziti. Loaded with cheese and vegetables it would be great to make ahead of time and pair with some campfire garlic toast. The best part, if you don’t make it ahead of time, it only takes 17 minutes!
