Recipe of
the Month:
Going camping this summer? It’s easy to bring veggies along with this simple recipe template. Prepare the packets at home, safely store in a cooler (and be careful to prevent cross contamination if using raw meat), and cook in or over the fire. These packets can also be made on a grill at home! For more camping recipes, check out Rustic Meals for Camping, Cookouts, or Home!
