Omelettes
in Plastic Bags
Ingredients:
eggs
(number depends on serving size, usually 2 per person)
grated cheese
chopped up indredients that you would normally use in your
omelette such as
- tomato
- ham
- mushroom
- onion
- peppers
Directions:
This can
be done in a large pot on a stove or BBQ or can be done
over an open fire using a washtub (we use an old galvanized
square tub). Fill with water sufficient to hang the bag in.
Some heated water to start with is
beneficial.
Ziplock bags
for each person, or more for second helping.
Use a good quality bag.
Using a marker, put your name on the bag.
Put eggs in bag, breaking the yolks and add other
ingredients as desired.
Zip the bag closed.
Put a WOODEN stick/branch through the bag under the zipper
and hang across the tub/pot ensuring the bag is in the
water.
Depending on the number of bags used, it will take
approximately 15 - 20 minutes to cook. Water must be kept
hot.
Once cooked, drain out any water and put on plate. The
‘omelette’ will be roll shaped and will keep hot outdoors
while you eat!

Banana
Boats
Ingredients:
* One Banana
* Mini Marshmallows
* Chocolate Chips
* Tin Foil
* Hot Dog Stick or Grill
Directions:
Take your banana and cut a slit down the long way. Don't
take off the skin. Cut it all the way down. Then fill the
banana with the marshmallows and chocolate chips. You can
put in as much as you want. You can also just do
marshmallows or just chocolate chips, whichever you like.
After you finish wrap the banana with tin foil. You can
cook it on the grill or you can use a hot dog stick and
cook it until the chocolate chips are melted. You have to
check it every so often, but be careful because it is hot.
Have an adult help you. Then, when it is done put it on a
plate and use a spoon to eat it out of the skin. It is a
great dessert!

The Best Chili EVER
Ingredients:
* 3 lbs cooked hamburger
* 2 jars salsa (anything you like. I prefer the med.
kind)
* 2 lg cans hot chili beans
* 2 cans chopped tomatoes (I use the ones with the green
chilies)
* 2 cans of tomato juice
* 2 pkgs chili seasoning (I prefer the hot)
Directions:
Mix all together in a large pan and let it cook. The longer
the better! This makes a lot of chili, so you may want to
cut it in half or add to if for big family. We make this
after breakfast and let it sit on the side of the fire and
cook all day. Enjoy!

Cooler Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ingredients:
* Chocolate graham crackers
* Canned Redi-Whip Cool Whip (chocolate preferred)
Directions:
Gently break graham cracker in half. Squirt Redi-Whip Cool
Whip on 1/2 of graham cracker and gently press other half
on top. Voila! Ice cream sandwich. Best when wrapped in
foil and chilled for better firmness.
Comments:
This is a great treat for the kids and easy enough for them
to make. One can makes several sandwiches, but buy several
cans for a larger group. Doesn't melt quite as fast as
regular ice cream. What a treat!
