  • 🌴We just got back from vacation! We left just 2 days before everything with the CoronaVirus hit! It was a little unsettling to be away from home at such a time, but we were still able to have a wonderful vacation! We were gone 10 days and we ate 28 out of 30 meals in the camper! Check out this video for some delicious meals to serve your family, camping or at home!
    ➜➜ It has come to my attention that it is not safe to travel while cooking food in the oven. (see pinned comment)

    🍽 Recipes:
    Crowd pleaser! :
    Ham and Swiss Sliders
    1lb sliced ham
    24 slices Swiss cheese
    24 Hawaiian Rolls
    mayo and/or miracle whip
    1 1/2 sticks butter
    1 heaping tsp. poppy seeds
    2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
    2 teaspoons mustard
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    2 teaspoons dried onion
    In a small bowl I like to mix a little miracle whip and mayo together and spread a super thin layer onto the inside of the roll. Place a slice of swiss and ham onto each, and place them all into a large baking dish very close together.
    In a small sauce pan, melt the butter, set aside, and stir in all the other seasonings. Pour evenly over rolls. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
    (Or if you are camping: Freeze in an air-tight bag before you add the butter and seasonings)
    Bake covered at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, then 5 minutes uncovered 'til golden and crispy.
    Raisin Bagel Breakfast Bake
    For you recipe lovers, I created a version of this:
    www.averiecooks.com/baked-bag...
    I simplified it and just mixed some melted butter, eggs, milk and cinnamon, with a splash of maple syrup in a bowl and poured it over the raisin bagel bits. Then when it came out, I added some maple syrup to some whipped cream cheese and drizzled it over the top! 😋
    My Mama's Taco Salad
    No recipe really I just...
    -chop up a head lettuce or 2
    -add some fresh diced tomatoes
    -a can of black beans, drained and rinsed
    -add some fresh raw sweet corn, sliced off the cob, if it's in season
    -precooked and chilled taco meat, made from ground beef
    -add some taco seasoning to thousand island dressing and mix through.
    -top with shredded cheese and crushed Doritos

    Hey! Great video! However, for the safety of you and your family, I cannot stress enough not to use your oven while traveling. It’s a huge risk to take. In the event of even a minor accident that can be fatal. Propane will ignite much faster than gasoline or diesel. Also, if your flame was to go out and the fridge arced when it it turns on it can cause an explosion. Just something to think about.

    • @dougzwife

      Wow, thank you for the warning! I showed this to my husband and he said you are right! Good things to consider! I'll put a note about this in my description too. 😊

    Oh I love this video because it is so hard to feed 10 people. I also precook meals before we go camping to save money and time. We also found restaurants some times frown on large families due to seating. I do a lot of freezer meals also. We try and prepare grilling foods also so the camper doesn't heat up as much. Loved this video because we love camping

    • @dougzwife
      @dougzwife  2 роки тому

      Glad you liked it! Yes, it does save so much time and money!! Going camping is such an affordable family vacation! ~ Restaurants probably don't like it when large families drink water, and split dinner plates either to keep our bills down. 😏😊😊

    Meal planning is so important! Especially if you plan to actually cook the food at the campsite. It's the real camping experience. I'm going camping with my parents and some other family members (nine people in all) and we've never gone on a camping trip with so many people! We won't be staying too long, just staying the night for 2 nights and spending one full day there since we are arriving at 2:00 p.m. and leaving at 12:00 p.m.... we won't be having breakfast or lunch and dinner each day. It's kind of different from what I am used to but I know that meal planning will help us so much to know what we need to bring, make at home, and get ready to cook at the camp. It's going to be tons of fun with a little organization. Cool video! I just love watching these

    • @dougzwife
      @dougzwife  3 роки тому

      Yes, like that! Always be prepared, especially with more people, makes camping more enjoyable.

    Love seeing a look into your vacation! Prepping food before hand for camping is so smart! All the food looks delish! I have been begging my husband to start camping!

    • @dougzwife
      @dougzwife  4 роки тому

      Thanks Jessica! Tell your husband: if you bought a camper it still has all the convenient things your house does. And you could always resell the camper and get some money back. Vacations will be the price of gas money and a few cheap campground fees! LOL Doug and I used to tent it, but now since having so many kids, the camper is the way to go! Vacations would be too pricy without one! And I love having a bathroom for all my little girls who need to go every 2 hours!🤨😂

    Such a beautiful family you have 💛 I don't have a super large family but I think the prepping ahead of time is an awesome idea! I feel like we spend a lot of money eating out and buying meals at the closest store of the fly...this would be so much easier and cost efficient! Definitely gonna use some of these tips, tricks and recipe ideas to take with us next time we go 🤗 thank you for sharing

    You are my travel meal prepping hero!! Haha. If all goes according to plan (pre-corona plan, that is), we're going camping twice this summer for a whole week each time! But unfortunately we do tent camp and won't have an oven 😕 Well, our second trip my in-laws are going too, so I guess we could use their oven 😁 I am thinking I'll work on some crock pot plans for our trips though! By the way, you have the cutest paper plates I've ever seen, hahaha! I'm glad y'all had fun and made it back safely despite the craziness!

    • @dougzwife
      @dougzwife  4 роки тому +1

      Haha! It really only took me the Sunday School hour in the van to write some things down, and maybe 3 hours a few days before we left, dishes and all, to prep everything. It sure makes things so much easier! Of course it wasn't as healthful as normal. lol It would be much harder to cook things with a tent! When we did that I brought things like a loaf of bread and can of pizza sauce and cheese in a cooler. We made pizza pies and foil packets over the fire. Crockpot would be nice!! I hope you still get to go!!! If our trip was planned even for a couple days later, we probably wouldn't have been able to! We are hoping to go again in the fall, and I'll plan more for over the fire because we will be camping in one place, not traveling the country! Btw...paper plates are from Sam's Club!

    Dios bendiga a Todos los que estan leyendo esto! Deseo que tengan un hermoso dia! Buscad a Dios mientras pueda ser hallado! Jesus es el camino y el unico camino y regresa pronto! Recuerda cuando te sientas que no eres amado... el mayor sacrificio se hizo por amor! EL SUICIDIO NUNCA ES LA RESPUESTA!
    Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna.
    S. Juan 3:16 RVR1960
    La paga del pecado es muerte (infierno) pero Cristo pagó nuestra deuda en la cruz para nuestra salvacion! Debemos volvernos a Dios y apartarnos de nuestros caminos pecaminosos, confesar que Jesús es el Señor y creer con nuestro corazón que fue resucitado de entre los muertos por Dios, y debemos de ser bautizados en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo y vivir por Su palabra y mandamientos! Confia que Dios ayudara con el resto!
    Busca a Dios, antes de que sea muy tarde! Hoy podria ser tu ultimo dia en la tierra!
    Que tengas un hermoso dia!
