As anyone who knows me will attest, I love camping and the great outdoors! That’s not to say I don’t enjoy a vacation in a five-star hotel because I do. It’s just that these are two entirely different experiences, each with their own pluses and minuses.
Like many people, I sometimes find the daily grind of what to have for dinner and then cooking the meal a bit of a chore. So you would think I would absolutely dread cooking on a camp stove. Not the case! Maybe it’s the laid-back relaxed atmosphere of camping, but I really don’t mind outdoor cooking. I think it may have something to do with having a good camp stove, pre-planned menus and as much prep as possible, done in advance.
I love this Woods™ Quick Fire Propane Stove, it’s a real beauty!
One of my favourite breakfasts to make when camping is pancakes. They are hearty, quick, simple to make and can be easily customized.
In advance of camping, I mix the dry ingredients in an airtight container and the wet ingredients in a jar with a tight seal. On cook day, I just melt a little butter in the pan I will use to cook my pancakes, add it to the combined ingredients and presto, pancake batter.
YUM…fluffy, delicious pancakes in a snap!
