I’ve been having fun experimenting with some sprouted corn tortillas that I bought. They work great for quesadillas!

I also topped one with a quick guacamole. It was really good that way too. I think I’ll be needing to keep avocados on hand more frequently!

So yummy! And it should make great camping food too!

We went camping this weekend. I was kind of nervous about how well food would work out because I hadn’t done as much prep as I’d hoped to. I haven’t been as good about prepping food ahead in general lately. Everything worked out really well though! Here’s a list of what I brought:
- Apples
- Celery
- Carrots
- Cucumber
- Green Beans
- Peanut Butter
- Hummus
- Cheese (goat for me)
- Leftover Jambalaya
- Various sausages (Bratwurst, Knockwurst, Hot Dogs)
- Sauerkraut
- Mustard
- Ketchup
- Crackers for Justin
- Hot dog rolls for Justin
- Tea bags
- Butter
- Potato chips
- Banana chips
We actually bought the potato chips and banana chips because we got hungry on the way. They ended up being our dinner that night! Saturday morning’s breakfast was apples and PB with tea. For lunch I had a bratwurst with sauerkraut while Justin had Jambalaya. Dinner ended up being brats and sauerkraut again because I’d actually forgotten to pack mustard and ketchup.
A friend cooked breakfast for everyone on Sunday morning so I had bacon while everyone else enjoyed the typical breakfast fare of eggs and gluten. Lunch ended up being hummus and veggies. We had snacks along the way though I never did eat my cheese. Justin had some of his though. The banana chips worked really well as a sweet ending to our meals.
I had bought, but forgot to pack some canned fruit in juice. Hopefully I’ll go back to read this post before I pack next time to try and be more organized!
Next time I want to bring a sausage that’s good eaten cold. The kielbasa I’d used in the jambalaya would have worked really well but it came from a health food store and we didn’t have a chance to pick up more before we left for the weekend. Chili would also make a good leftover meal we could bring along. I’ve discovered that it works just find cold as a tortilla chip dip. Since I can have oats I want to bring oatmeal next time too.
I think I’ll be experimenting more with bean based dips. The hummus and veggies worked out really well. I know there are other bean based dips out there so that may be my next food based internet search.
