Labor Day Weekend Camping Trip

Did everyone have a good Labor Day weekend? We definitely did! Lance and I got a big group of our friends together to go camping and boating at Roosevelt Lake. We brought an RV so it was only half camping, but it was still a ton of fun!

It was also my first time towing our boat with my truck. Which was a fun (and successful!) experience. Two of my friends made the drive with me and we had a blast ;)

We went swimming

We went wakeboarding

We cruised around on the boat

Saw a giant tarantula – at night..in our walking path!

Hung out by the fire

And of course ate lots of good food

Knowing that I was going to be feeding 8-10 people I knew I needed to be organized :) So I decided to sit down and make a menu for the weekend. From that I made a grocery list and a packing list. Then printed out any recipes I would need while I was there. I planned food that could be somewhat prepped before I left and would be easy to assemble there. A few of our friends kept saying that the food was too good to be camping food.. I’ll take that as a compliment! Here was my menu:

Day One:

· Breakfast – pancakes (the Bisquick shake and pour kind) and sausage

· Lunch – Chicken Quesadillas with a black bean, rice and veggie salad

· Pre-dinner snack – Artichoke Spinach Dip on the grill

· Dinner – Burgers, grilled corn on the cob with chipotle-honey butter, potato grill packets

· Drinks: Mock Sangria

· Dessert – s’mores!

Day Two:

· Breakfast – Camping Frittatas

Snacks: Ranch pretzels, Chex Mix, Taco Chex Mix, and Muddy Buddies
