Tuna Jambalaya – Backpacking Version

Photo pending Since many of my backpacking main courses use pasta, this is an attempt to get some variety by using rice. We experimented with instant rice to save stove fuel, but were unimpressed by the result. In this version, we are incorporating some techniques from the making of rissotto, adding hot water to the Read More …

War Cake

I was looking for a good dessert for a canoe trip and I spotted this cake in Sheila Mills’ The Outdoor Dutch Oven Cookbook.  It is from a class of cakes developed during World War II to make do without scarce ingredients, like eggs, butter, and milk.  This also means that it was made with Read More …

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

This is a modification of a recipe in Southern Living to make it more suitable for baking on a campout.  Key to the original recipe was separating the eggs and beating the whites to stiff peaks before folding them into the batter.  This would be hard to do camping, so this approach to leavening was Read More …

Pecan Pie Cobbler v.2

I was looking for a suitable dessert to cook in a Dutch oven in a virtual campout in my backyard, and spotted a pecan pie cobbler recipe in Southern Living.  It turned out very well.  This will make 6-8 servings.  At home, this would be made in a 9-10 inch cast iron skillet in a Read More …

Pecan Pie Cobbler

I spotted a recipe on the Taste of Home website, which seemed to have great promise as a camping dessert since it mostly used staple ingredients.  I have done it twice now at home as a proof of concept.  The first version (which was consistent with the original recipe, I thought was pretty good and Read More …

One-Pot Ravioli Lasagna

I have seen a couple of articles on the internet in which ravioli is used to make a simplified version of lasagna.  This sounded like a good idea for car camping, so last night I did a successful proof of concept adapted from a Food52 article.  I plan on using this for dinner on the Read More …

Potato and Corn Chowder – Camping Version

This recipe is courtesy of Carol, who likes potato soups and wanted to develop a recipe suitable for our annual trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. The recipe below was sized for our 7 person crew, and can be scaled up or down. We kept the bacon separate since one member of the crew Read More …

Baked Rice Pudding – Camping v2

To provide some variety in the desserts on our annual canoe trip to the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota, I have been experimenting with baked rice puddings.  In camp these will be baked in a reflector oven (although they could also be baked in a Dutch oven), while my proof-of-concept at home was baked in Read More …

Apple Custard Crisp

I spotted this recipe in the 11/24/18 issue of the Wall St. Journal.  It makes a tasty dessert with a stronger lemon flavor than is usual with apple desserts.  The next time I make it I will probably use a cake pan rather than a pie pan so that there is less chance of boil Read More …

Backpackers’ Rice Pudding

This is a very light dessert for backpacking, which I made at Mt. Pleasant last weekend for two people.  This recipe is adapted from an article by Christine and Tim Conners in Backpacking Magazine April 3, 2013.  (I had a recipe for sticky buns in one of their cookbooks.)  The recipe is for 4 servings, Read More …
