Let's Talk About Some Recipes

You better pray I don't find your camp at meal time.

Both of you, and anyone else are welcome to have some tastings of whatever we fix up. Truth is we have a bunch of meals and snacks planned out, reality is that we won't eat all of it.

It's cool.

Sneake! Clean up on aisle six!

I've been baking a ton! Find me in ADA & I'll gladly give you some cookies or muffins!!

Heigh-ho, more sous vide technology from your friends here at the CLERN Institute. Since I did lo mein for Bear's, I thought I do a little something different this time. It's so easy at a fest to eat nothing but starch and a little protein, so I wanted something very nutritious, but easy to prepare.

I give you: shrimp w. mixed vegetables and brown rice.



With the rice mixed in, bagged and ready to be frozen, and then boiled in bag at camp.

I've made breakfast burritos ahead of time before but this time prolly will just freeze the fillings for a quick reheat, and wrap em up before eating

I'll give an easy breakfast that you can pre-make at home, freeze and easily reheat.

1 pound sausage
6 eggs
1 C milk
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 C shredded cheddar
4 slices white bread

Brown sausage into crumbles and drain all grease
Grease bottom of rectangular cassarol pan
Cut bread into cubes, line bottom of cass. dish with bread
Spinkle sausage all across bread
Sprinkle cheese all across sausage
Beat eggs until mixed
Add milk, mustard, salt - mix again
Pour carefully over cass.
Fridge OVERNIGHT
Bake next day 350 degrees, 45 mins or so...

Cool, return to fridge and get cold. Cut into serving sizes and freeze. Can microwave it or crumble it up into a frying pan and reheat until hot!

Couldn't find a formal food thread...so putting it here. 

Did my summer festival/camping test run of tamales this weekend. If you are trying to think of a food to cook ahead of a festival I'd highly recommend exploring steamed tamales: easy to make en masse, delicious cold or hot, easily shareable with your neighbors, vegetarian or carnivorous, easy to seal in a zip lock and float in the cooler, naturally full of everything you need to keep you fueled, corn husk wrapping means biodegradable packaging is going into the trash.  

Tamales and a bottle of hot sauce can sustain you for several days. 

Awesome, thank you for re-direct to the right place buddy74 !

Please feel free to move my post moderators. Sorry about that! 

And since this is a recipe thread, here is my recipe (taken first from Alton Brown, then adjusted over the years)..I double it for around 40 tamales:

3.5 cups of Masa Harina
.5 cup of corn meal
2 1/4 tsp of baking powder
3/4 cup of shorting (instead of lard)
3.5-4 cups to feel of mealy consistency without being too wet of a blend of chicken, beef, and veggie stock
Add 1 TBLS of salt, and a 1/4 cup of brown sugar to stocks and heat to disolve and let cool down to warm.
Couple shakes of cumin, curry, chili, smoked paprika, and ancho
2 packages of corn husks - don't forget to soak them for at least an hour before filling them. 

Make the filling, starting applying to the corn husks...you can also add cooked meat (like pulled pork, ground turkey, shredded chicken), cooked veggies (corn, onion, peppers, and mushrooms all excellent - be sure to drain excess liquid), or funky cheese (goat cheese with jalapenos is awesome). I skip tying them, and just ensure the folded bottoms are facing down on a steaming basket and stacked so that the open face is staring at you when you look into the pot. 

Get fancy and make salsa verde with tomatillos. Or just a bottle of chalula. 


 

I'm so pumped. My old tabletop gas grill was declared dead last year. I got the Coleman Roadtrip as a replacement and the swap tops to switch it from a grill, to a stove, to a griddle. I'm almost squealing from glee. Used the griddles, and the pancakes were fucking perfect.
