Grocery lists and planning and other such nonsense... A Cry for Help!!

Okay... so today I stopped by the old blog-a-roo to dust off the cobwebs and see what I've been up to lately...

I kid....

I was shocked to realize that my last post was back in April!!!

Is my life so uneventful that I had nothing to write about since then?

*chirp*chirp* (is that the sound of crickets?)

Actually, life is busy for me ALL the time...
It really boils down to the fact that my down time has been consumed with other things like sleeping, eating, and keeping up with my favorite tv programs...

Today however, I needed to call upon my BF's (that's YOU... my
Bloggy Friends)
I NEED your help...desperately!

I am meal planning for an upcoming camping trip...
Before you start envisioning me in my over sized girl scout uniform, I should probably let you in on a secret...


I don't camp in one of these:

















Or even one of these:



These are my camping digs:
















Don't say it!!!


Don't you DARE tell me that I am a spoiled brat and that this is not REAL camping...

Because if you do I will march right inside my air conditioned RV, flip on the TV and sit in front of the flame-less fireplace and ignore you...

Again.... I kid...




Not really....


I need to get to the fine point of all of this blathering...

Here is my
humble request...

I need some meal inspirations...

Keep in mind that I do have a stove, oven & yes... a microwave - (don't start with me)
I also bring a crockpot... and a smokey joe to grill on...



But I'm in a funk...a rut... I need inspiration before I head to the grocery store and fill two carts with spontaneous food purchases that not only don't make any sense but can't make any discernible meals (don't EVEN try to tell me that you haven't done that at least once in your life)

If you really love me, you will spare me the lecture that Tony is notorious for giving me about making grocery lists and planning and other such nonsense!

On a final note I might add that my family are a bunch of foodies.... Pul-eeze don't suggest 'hot dogs', because although they will eat hotdogs on occasion, they want "REAL" food...even while camping...

PS - If it wouldn't be too much trouble... please include recipes!!
I thank you....

my husband thanks you...

my kids thank you...


You are the bestest BF's EVER!!!! ;)

Well... you know how much I **don't** love to cook. ;o)
We like to go for easy, yet delicious meals in the camper. Maybe these are already in your meal rut that you're looking to climb out of?? We do taco salad- brown up the ground beef, add seasoning, cut up the veggies, put out shredded cheese, sour cream, taco sauce (whatever toppings) and everyone makes their own salad.

Or how about Shish-ka-bobs (I don't know how to spell that!) They can be made up ahead of time and then thrown on the grill or over the campfire.

Em also makes mean chicken breasts wrapped in bacon- throw on the grill. She melts cheese over the top before they are finished too. I also think they'd be delish if she rubbed some BBQ sauce on them.

Do you have an outside camp stove too? We cook anything greasy, messy or that leaves lingering odors, outside.
