Hey hey,
Just breaching your inbox (YOU invited me! Don't get mad.) with something fun. I’m re-sharing my Camping Recipes Collection today. ⛺️🔥
Now listen ... are these recipes all perfectly PFF-balanced? Nope. But you know what? That’s totally fine.
They are more minimally processed versions of classic camping staples. Easy, satisfying, crowd-pleasing, and just a little bit more blood-sugar-friendly than the usual store-bought marshmallow sandwich situation.
And even though I’m not camping this summer (sadly), I am going away on a family vacay in 2 days. Beach. Pool. Grandma (theirs'). Cousins (theirs' AND mine). The works.
That’s actually what made me think of this recipe collection ... we were packing up snacks and food and I had a sudden craving for one of those foil-packet nacho situations. (You can always line the foil with parchment paper first.) You know the one. Crunchy. Gooey. A little messy in the best way.
So, I scheduled this email ahead of time while I was knee-deep in bathing suits, goggles, and that suitcase zipper that never closes right. By the time you're reading this, we’ve actually been home already for a few days. I’m gonna go ahead and declare that we had an amazing time, made incredible memories, and not a single meltdown occurred.
Not one. Not even when someone got sand in their eyeball or we forgot the goggles. Flawless trip. Yup, definitely.
Anyway ... back to the food.
These recipes aren’t fancy. They’re not meant to be. They’re the kind of meals you can make with minimal equipment, minimal ingredients, and still feel like, “Okay, I did something good here.”
Whether you’re actually camping or just in your “let’s not overthink meals right now” Summer era, I hope this collection gives you some simple inspiration.

P.S. If you do end up making one of these while camping, or glamping, or just hiding from your kids in the backyard with a s’more… send me a pic. I love seeing what you make.
