Camping Trip ~ Campfire Mac n' Cheese

We've been "off line" for a while so these are posts will catch up all up to date.  Hubby took us camping!  Oh the fun!

This is the fire ring that we cooked on.  We bring along a tri-pod as well.


Meal prep - noodles boiled and cheeses mixed but not melted.  I did this the day before we went camping.
 




This is how we ended up cooking our first night's dinner.  On the bottom I put a mix of vegetables, and butter on a griddle over the fire.  On the tri-pod, I put the mini-pie pans on another griddle, then covered them with foil.  With a careful eye, rotating, and lowering, we pulled off making our first ever camfire mac n' cheese.

I was so afraid I'd burn the bottoms of the mac n' cheese but I did not.  Oh so good too!  


We worked off the pasta and cheese on a long bicycle ride too.  It was hot and humid, but we survived.

I always wanted to camp but my husband had been in Viet Nam and said he's had enough of "camping". I should have taken the kids and gone myself! What fun! So glad you were able to get away....again! LOL!

Sounds just lovely. After going through USMC Boot Camp, I'm afraid I'm not much of a camper anymore, but I can surely understand those who are. Communing with nature is a great way to get back to one's calmest level (we call it "pivot point"), and that's a great place to start a new week.
Prayers everyone has a safe and blessed weekend.
God bless.

Glad you finally got to go camping! Mac & cheese over the fire? YUM!
I miss all of the great things we used to cook over a campfire!
Sam I Am, when the kids were really little, we simply put a tent up in the back yard. They loved it.
Thanks RB, the kids liked everything but the heat.
Liz, it was hot, but we did cook over the campfire. Even breakfast.

looks like a great time. I love outdoor cooking :)
Sandra, I think I may invest in some cast iron skillets for campfire cooking (or a griddle). We've really had fun with it.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
