Rice
If you are into rice (like my family) Goya and Carolina mike some nice rice and beans meals good for 2 adults. Add some canned chicken and you have an awesome meal. They do need to simmer for about 20 minutes or so.

DO Chicken Stuff
When I take a dutch oven, I’ll bring a frozen rear half of a yard bird. Toss some rice, dried tomatos, chopped onions, some dried beans and some salt/adobo/cajun spice and the right amount of water (this takes experimentation, but you can start 1:1 and rehydrate your beans and tomatos first). Lay the quarters on top and put coals under and on top of the oven. If using pine, be sure to have a blazing fire going for back up coals. About an hour and a half later you’ll have a fine meal. If the water is just right, you’ll get some browned crusty rice along the edges. Keep the coals going on top to brown the chicken skin.

I like real food. We will be paddling the Sacramento River, CA in two weeks and fishing for king salmon. It is good over a fire.



Beef stew, corned beef and cabbage, fajitas, carne asada, stacked enchiladas, chicken with mole sauce. Lots of salad and decent bread. Some red wine and beer.

Tortellini
Barilla and Dececco make a 3 cheese and cheese/spinach tortellini that does not need to be refrigerated. It is very light and compact (almost like freeze dried). It does need to boil for 10 minutes in a lot of water but no more than regular pasta. Add some olive oil and onions and mushrooms and you are good to go. Adding a pouch/can meat or fish and you have extra calories.

Happiness is…
Certainly one of the best and most appreciated camp cooking skills is toe learn how to bake bread at camp - especially by campfire.



I am not talking about the old over-rated Banock cakes.



Learn how to make yeast breads baked right in the fire with or without a Dutch Oven
