Freezing Herbs


Fresh herbs make meals taste so much better, but some can ruin rather quickly. Freezing your herbs can allow you to purchase them in the bundles that the stores sell them, and keep them fresh until you need them. I use this method regularly, and it works great.

A Few Camping Recipes

Camping is a great way to spend time with your family, while saving a lot of money. Camping costs a fraction of the price that hotels would cost. Cooking while camping can be something that is challenging. I recommend you having a Coleman stove, they help you prepare great meals for your family while camping. You should also have a pot, pan, and utensils.

I wanted to share a few recipes that you can easily prepare for your family while camping. These are some pretty simple recipes, and your family will love it.

Make A Tasty Beef Stew

-This recipe is showing how to make the stew at home, but it is also easy to make while camping.

Make A Campfire Breakfast

Make Baked Vegetables with Olive Oil
-Instead of baking this recipe in the oven. Put all of the ingredients in foil, and place on the fire. You will have a healthy dish to serve while you are camping.

Make Sausage and Sweet and Sour Sauce
-This recipe calls for a pit, but if there is not one available there is another option. Wrap all of the ingredients in foil, and place in the fire.

These are just a few recipes that I feel would work well when camping. Think creatively when preparing meals while camping. You can make many different meal options if you think in an original way.
