Everybody provided me with some great camping suggestions and links (and a special shout to Taryn who sent me her own personal to do list). I settled on two great camping suggestions.

1.) Pancakes
I now no longer know where I found this recipe but it was super easy to make and all you have to do is add equal parts water and 1 Tbsp oil. Mix and make. I’ll tell you how they come out, but I’m thinking of keeping this mix on hand at the house.

1 1/2 cups White flour
1 1/2 cups Whole Wheat flour
2 Tbs + 2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk powder

2.) Pocket Pizza
I believe I found this on a Boy Scout website but again, I can’t retrace my steps. I loved this idea but unfortunately I won’t be able to tell you how it tastes because David said that this “isn’t camp food” and so we’ll be making hot dogs. (sigh). I may try this at home with the kids later.

Pita bread sliced in half
Pizza sauce
Mozzarella cheese
toppings of choice

Take each pita pocket and line with pizza sauce, cheese and favorite toppings. Wrap tightly in foil and toss onto grill or fire. Heat for 10 minutes. Open up and you have homemade pizza pockets. Sounds yummy to me.

David and I were up until midnight last night making final preparations for the trip. The kids are excited and we’ve packed every piece of warm clothing we have. We’ll be heading north into Oklahoma, in case search and rescue is necessary (I’m joking Mom). We’ve packed everything from blankets to a TV (oh yeah, there is electricity at the camp). Oh, and a space heater. Not exactly roughing it but hey, I’m just a princess from Michigan. I’m doing the best I can here.
