Side Dishes

Scrambled eggs without the frying pan.  This is an easy way to make different eggs for each person. It's best to use ingredients that are already cooked, such as left over potatoes, meat or veggies from the night before.

Each ziploc makes eggs for one.

Serve this simple eggplant dish as a vegetarian summer supper or as a side dish for grilled fish or chicken.

Serve with a wedge of lemon to brighten the flavor.

Serve warm or room temperature.  Make extra campfire baked potatoes the night before so you'll have potatoes already cooked for this recipe.  If you have access to a microwave you can shorten prep time by microwaving the potatoes.

Serve with soup and bread for light lunch or as a side on pizza night.

The most basic way to enjoy an artichoke is to steam it. You steam them whole after cleaning them carefully. When you eat the artichoke you start by peeling off the leaves and scraping off the flesh inside the leaf with your teeth. You can enjoy the leaves with mayonnaise, melted butter, lemon juice or even different types of vinaigrette. After eating the leaves you will have uncovered the heart, which is covered in the fuzz, which you gently scrape off with a spoon and discard. Then you can enjoy the heart.

The perfect afternoon camping snack.

There is nothing better to serve as an appetizer than homemade guacamole.
