Cooking Outdoors, The Best Part of Camping!

My sons and their families are going camping this weekend.  I am not a dyed-in-the-wool camper, but I must admit that I am jealous.  My favorite part of camping is cooking outdoors over the coals of a campfire or in a Dutch oven.  There is just something special about the taste of food cooked in the great outdoors. 

Camp meals can require a lot of pre-planning and preparation.  Shelf Reliance Thrive foods make cooking for your group of campers fast, easy and delicious.  Check the list below to see ways Thrive foods can make your camping experience more easy and enjoyable.

• Many are freeze-dried making them very light, compact and easy to carry
• Can easily be substituted into the recipes your family enjoys
• Refrigeration is not necessary, less food to keep in a cooler
• Easily rehydrated in a small amount of water
• Can be measured out at home according to your recipe, stored in a zip lock bag and cooked at the campsite. 
• Cut back on prep time because they are already chopped and ready to use
• Come in a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, meats, cheeses, beans, dairy products, eggs, and grain products.
• They are great as snacks, no rehydration necessary
• Thrive Express Meals are available for those who prefer pre-made meals.
• Thrive foods have vibrant, fresh tastes and delicious aromas

Imagine cooking a delicious Spanish omelet made from Thrive ingredients such as:

• scrambled egg mix (It is new and it tastes just like the real thing)
• freeze-dried sausage, freeze-dried cheddar cheese, freeze-dried tomato chunks, freeze-dried onions and freeze-dried peppers

It would taste great, be light and easy to pack.  The best part is that you wouldn’t have to struggle to keep the ingredients cold. 

Thrive foods can be used in millions of different recipes.  Sometimes it is a little difficult to imagine how to use freeze-dried ingredients if they are new to you.  If this is the case for you, please visit my Shelf Reliance website to see many recipes that can be adapted to your camping needs.  You can also purchase directly through this site.  Just click the link below and follow the directions below:
