15 Grill Recipes!

We’ve done a ton of grill cooking since we started our traveling adventure.  I love cooking on the grill.  There are less dishes, the food has fabulous taste to it, and best of all, the husband takes over!

It is the best of all worlds, right?

Grilling Tips and Camping Tips

• A great time saver is to measure your ingredients for each meal ahead of time and pack in ziplock bags. Label each bag accordingly.
• While cooking on the grill or over a fire, cover your pot.  Food not only gets done more quickly, but you save on fuel and keep the insects out!
• Heavy duty aluminum foil is a must for a good campsite.
