There are a few things to me that are a quintessential part of camping for me. Two of those are: I need to be able to have a campfire or access to a grill, and the other is access to real food. It can be simple, but it should be something I would eat even when I am at home.
I’ve been cooking at home for quite some time now. Lately I’ve found myself with a little more time to get outside, and I had to make sure my favorite meals from home came along with me, without me having to pack the whole kitchen along. That’s when foil packs are the MVPs.
Here are three of my foil packs recipes from my latest trip to Free Range Farm in Northern California. All of these recipes can be cooked on a campfire with a separated “medium heat” zone or on a charcoal grill once briquettes are medium heat. Oh! And the best part?! They all take 35 minutes from start to finish. Enjoy!
