Pretty easy and so delicious. Ingredients: 2 slices of white bread 1 tablespoon butter, softened 3 tablespoons of your favorite pie filling Spread some butter on the bread. Place one of the slices of the bread on the hobo pie maker, butter side down. Spoon the pie filling in the center of the bread. Place the other slice of bread on top, butter side up. Close the hobo pie maker. Cook over the campfire for about four minutes, turning occasionally to make sure that both sides are golden. Serve with cream. 42011-01-18T17:44:51ZBobbyJoeKnowhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/34/threadid/693/scope/postsIngredients: 1 Package (6) Pita rounds. 1 14 oz. jar prepared pizza sauce. 1 8 oz. package shredded mozzarella cheese.

I've been on this for quite sometime now. While it's really been great, it's been quite a challenge to find recipes for it that are easy to do while camping.

What kind of wood is the best for smoking meat? Any suggestions also where to get? I don't think our local government would appreciate the idea of us chopping down trees nearby to get the wood for it.122012-05-04T04:34:35ZMatthewhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/34/threadid/2183/scope/postsI need to have my cup of coffee in the morning, or else I find myself rather sluggish.

Make a large batch of pancakes and then stack them up, alternating choco syrup and whipped double cream and fruits. Use the remaining double cream to cover the entire cake and then drizzle the choco syrup on top and add a few fruits.

It's not only quicker. It's also a lot easier to make sure that the bird remains juicy. Not to mention the taste of the skin is so much yummier. How about you? What's your favorite way of making/eating turkey during Thanksgiving.92012-05-19T01:08:41ZTShislerhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/34/threadid/2271/scope/postsBecause of the increasing gas prices, my wife and I decided to alternate using our Motorhome and going tent camping. Although we don't have any problems with cooking over the campfire, there are some things that the kids have always enjoyed eating while we're camping that we'd need something more than just a campfire for. Would a propane stove or hot plate be much better? 52012-05-11T04:54:20Zangelahttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/34/threadid/2222/scope/postsI've seen a lot of really great recipes here and really want to try some of them. Thing is, most of the time, we're doing a lot of hiking and spend most of the time away from our RV. Can you recommend a really handy set of spice vials or containers that we can use and bring with us without worrying about us breaking them.62012-03-27T04:21:51Zmaximohttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/34/threadid/1997/scope/postsOne of our friends invited us to go with them for a week camping in this island that they'd always frequent. The thing is, the place is quite isolated. No hookups from what I've been told so we'd have to generate our own electricity. To get groceries and gas, we'd need to take a boat. Given that, we're thinking of just using our generator at night. The problem is the food. Running our refrigerator looks a bit impractical in the place where we're going. Was wondering if you can recommend anything that would help us keep the perishable stuff like meat, eggs, milk, butter, etc during our trip that can replace our refrigerator during our stay here? 92011-12-02T11:13:34Zpadmejhttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/34/threadid/1444/scope/postsWhenever we go camping, I always have to make my Chinese Chicken Salad for my family.

I love to bake, and I was planning to bake a few goodies on our way up to my parents' home for the holidays. I usually do my baking using the a regular oven at home. But given the distance and the fact that there is a HUGE chance that they might get devoured by my husband and kids before we even leave, I was thinking of baking it while we're on the road.

Instead of roasting the turkey immediately, put it in a deep pan with a grill and then pour some water in it. Cover the turkey and pan with foil and put it in the oven for an hour and a half. This will help cook your turkey through and still keep it moist. 2. Remove the foil and then roast it in the oven for another hour or until you get the nice golden color for the skin, regularly basting it with butter. 3. Make the stuffing separately. Use a bit of the drippings for that nice turkey flavor. Not only will it be a lot easier to cook. The cavity inside the turkey has got a lot of bacteria in it that can transfer onto your stuffing while it's cooking. Happy Thanksgiving!72011-11-17T02:35:13Zlizzpretohttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/34/threadid/1397/scope/postsI recently read that the prices of turkeys this year has gone straight off the roof. Even the smallest turkey can cost now over $20. It's starting to make me think twice of buying a turkey for this coming Thanksgiving and choose to get a cheaper kind of bird to cook instead. But my son remarked to me once, what's Thanksgiving without turkey. So I have to wonder...can you call a Thanksgiving dinner that even though there is no turkey at the center of the table?42011-10-20T08:50:57Zangelahttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/34/threadid/1304/scope/postsJust came from a dinner party at the house of my friend who's half-Japanese. She taught me a few tricks on getting that extra crispy batter you can use for fish & chips or tempura: 1. Use really cold water for the batter. She even puts ice in hers to keep the temperature even lower. 2. When mixing the batter, just use no more than four strokes. Nevermind if you don't get all the flour mixed. It's part of the secret to make it light and crunchy.22011-10-07T17:24:17ZMaggiehttp://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-and-rv-forums/forumid/34/threadid/1250/scope/postsMy father-in-law is joining us for our upcoming camping trip.
