Answers:

How about a chicken recipe that you prepare at home?
(low cal, low sodium, low fat)

1 -2 pieces of chicken per person
(a white fish can be substtuted, but a small amount of margarine or oil will need to be put on fish, and cooking time is shorter)

(NOTE: if you are serving adults only, you might want to put 1 - 2 teaspoons of white wine in packet)

2-3 small red potatoes per person, quartered

4-5 baby carrots per person

You can add onion or garlic if you like or use Garlic and Herb Mrs. Dash

1 square piece of heavy duty aluminum foil per person
(pull out of box piece as long as box is wide)

Place all items per person on foil, sprinkle liberally with G/H Mrs. Dash

Close foil packet and crimp edges

Your dinner is ready to place on fire and cook for about 30 - 45 minutes (depending on how hot fire is), until chicken juices are clear. Open foil packet and set directly on plate.

You can make dessert by coring apples, stuff core hole with raisins and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, or place one large marshmallow into core hole. Wrap each apple in foil and twist top. Put apples on to cook at same time as chicken, and allow to cook for approximately 45 minutes, until soft.

If you want to go all out, mix salad greens and place in zip lock bag (bring a tomato and cut into salad when ready to serve). Bring that salad dressing bottle that has just a bit left in the bottom (or put dressing in a small zip lock bag) and pour directly into zip lock bag of greens when ready to eat.

For a "campfire cooking" experience you can make bread on a stick. Make enough baking dough of Bisquick or Jifffy Mix (or equivalent) for each person and carry to camp in zip lock bag (remember to bring bags home and wash out to reuse). At camp, find stick (don't use pine it will give th bread a "piney" taste) and peel off bark. Wrap dough around stick, and "toast" over fire.

Bon Appetite
