I’m so looking forward to camping with the kids this summer and love any make ahead ideas (more time for fun). Camping tip - if you have trouble getting a site at one the the national or provincial parks look into conservation area camping! We love it and can usually find sites 😊
I’m not a camper by any means but I have to admit, I found these recipes fun to watch. That granola hack with the fruit cup was absolute genius. Always nice to see a refreshing small channel on RU-vid
I was raised going camping with siblings and friends. Sometimes tent camping with only what you can fit on a motorcycle traveling 7 states away to sturgis. We usually will hotel it if it is starting to get dark as we don’t ride at night..to many deer or other animals that can bolt in front of you. We do bring a Jackery to plug in phones and a insta boil for coffee. When we drive to go camping we take a chest freezer that is equivalent to your chest, except you can plug it into your car and set the digital temperature on the chest to fridge temperatures or freezer temperatures. It also has a divider in the middle that can keep certain foods separated or can be removed. It is handy but the downside is it is heavy to lift in and out of the vehicle. It does have wheels. We have used it in power outages and just plugged it into our Jackery. It has been handy in that way too. I was a bit shocked when my husband purchased it about 7 years ago…I believe it was around $400. So they are not cheap. I worked bakery for a long time so I do find it handy to bake special occasion cakes/cupcakes/pastries ahead, store and decorate night before. So I am glad my hubby got it…I just couldn’t justify paying that much for seasonal camping for a chest.
I'm so glad I found your channel as I was searching for a honey mustard dressing. These are such a great idea that will save me so much time. I never thought about meal prepping for camping. I'm a tent no electricity camper but we also do the all amenities ( pool, games, basketball hoop ect ) for the kids. we already reserved two camping trips for this coming summer. Thank you for these great ideas, you now have a new subscriber.
We are going to stay to hotel this weekend that has no breakfast! And we're doing a pioneer reenactment, and while it's fun to cook on Dutch oven, there's a lot of other things that will be presenting... So thank you for giving us such great ideas! We're going to make all three of them for our large family ! You've never had an issue with the glass jars cracking? I think that I have read that you can freeze glass jars, I have just always been a little leery of it! If you have time, I'd love to hear if it's ever been a problem. I suppose if I keep the headspace it wouldn't be, but I'm not sure.
Great question! The key with glass jars is to make sure they have straight sides and a wide mouth if freezing. This shape is considered freezer safe. We've never had them crack. :)
