Ok all you R-Podders out there and you know who you are, what are your favourite snacks to MAKE while camping?

Yeah, I know all about the potato chips, freeze dried ice cream and GORP etc but we have microwave/convection ovens in our pods and if any of us are lucky a good campfire. You know, sometimes the ingredients taste better put together with a few twigs, dirt and bugs Big smile

My favourite snack food is high-fibre taco chips, with some black olives, green onions, tomatoes, tossed on and a quick sprinkle of cheese served with salsa and LF sour cream (which helps nicely for the potato portion of a steak dinner)  Can also be done in foil on a pan over the fire.

Microwave popcorn, ahh but not the kind in a bag, hopefully the microwave popcorn bowl that I use in my house microwave will work in the trailer one.

Rice crispies, marshmallows, butter/margarine, big bowl, patience and viola nummy and warm.

Anyone else?

I made cinnamon rolls in the dutch oven.  They were great.   Frozen bread dough and brown sugar/cream and cinnamon.   Now I am hungry.

Fresh wild blueberry cobbler done in a dutch oven or a camp oven that coleman makes. Once even made a blueberry pie over a campfire in that little oven. Makes me want to be camping right now!!!

What ice cream maker did you get?   Can it make chocolate ice cream?

I'm guessing one of the balls that you toss around til its frozen. I haven't tried one yet but I have seen it done. It can make any flavor you want. and you can get one almost anywhere

The Ice Cream maker is one that requires the cylinder be placed in a Freezer.
Our current RV has a large freezer, much larger than the Pods.
It worked out great for us. My family use to use the electric w/ice
type and they worked great too. Just have to keep an eye on them.

We have one like that. We use ours to make frozen Margaritas Wink.

I can see where this is all going you people all want those desserts you never have when you're at home Clap

Okay Steve, sounds like a very fine idea to me and hey apparently it will do ice cream too hehehe!

gmandual, yeah remind me when you come up our way I'll be sure to drop by I'll even bring fresh Saskatoons for the cobbler just for a change. My dad used to use a dehydrator for his cherries and peaches they were very tasty, don't think he ever did jerky but other people I know did.

and Brin thanks for the ingredients, I suppose you'd have to buy the frozen buns or you'd have to wait til a loaf thawed.

Heide I get the idea that maybe for a quick dessert you could bring frozen and just bake it within a few days and voila a very fine snack indeed.

I've seen those little ovens, I'll have to see how motivated I am when dry camping but they look kind of neat. We saw a very expensive one in Costco although it looked like you could do a turkey in it!

Thanks keep em coming I'm taking notes!!
