Trying something a little different with this video! Hope you enjoyed it! Comment below and let me know what you think 😁
I love your videos. You are the UA-camr who is helping me learn all the camping ins and outs I truly appreciate your time. Thank you so much!
Little tip for your rice dinner: Use salsa instead of tomatoes, onions and bell pepper. All those things are already in there. It's non-perishable, delicious and easy. I do this when making chili or a spanish style rice like you're showing. :) Happy adventures!
I agree, why work harder..
Good camping meal video. Do more like this. Even for us that just like to go to the park and make a meal while traveling, these are great ideas.
I like how you approach the better quality food vs. cheaper food. That was tactfully covered.
Looking forward to more budget camping meal ideas!
Old Bay seasoning makes great tuna salad.
I keep meaning to try that....
Great video! The one pot jambalaya is a go to for me - not even while camping, just as a regular home cooked dinner! Love it!
Thanks for the great ideas. Budget friendly is always a winner.
With the leftover rice and sausage meal (I had frozen it after our trip), took it out added corn and stuffed some peppers topped with cheese last night on grill, yum!
That sounds delicious! Did you leave the sausage as is or cut it down some?
I enjoy these videos, I say do more. Also loving the camper series!
i hope you do more of these budget friendly meals
Thank you for this video! Please make more like this one.
I’m one of those people that likes to meal prep at home. The less I have to do at camp the better and I do like the one pot meals. The less dishes and clean up the better. But I also like the budget friendly meals. This was an awesome video thanks, Amanda.
They make marshmallows with chocolate in the middle now! Perfect for s’mores!
For breakfast, you can stir in one egg in the oatmeal to save using an extra pan. The oatmeal will be more silky in texture.
Great options! We made your jambalaya this evening at home. So good!!!
One of my very favorite camping meals is just a simple box of Zaterain's beans and rice and some smoked sausage. Something I like to do if I'm camping on my own is look at the weight on the box, then use my food scale to divide the package in half so I cook just half of it and don't waste. I bring just enough smoked sausage for me. Add some Louisiana hot sauce and you've got a hot and satisfying campfire meal.
I can’t eat it because I need low carb, but it would be perfect for people without dietary restrictions, and so easy. I always look for easy meals when I camp. 😊
Costco sells a bag of Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake mix which is “just add water”. Couldn’t be any easier to mix up a batch and cook it on my camp stove with a griddle pan. That’s one of my go-to camp breakfasts.
We buy the large bag of Krusteaz at Walmart too. Throw in fresh blueberries and perfection!
Flavored tuna helps to add flavor. I like the roasted garlic from Starkist. It's in a can
yes on the jambalaya, will have to try that on my next trip.
I love your videos all are so good. I really enjoy the variety. You are definitely one of my favorite channels.
Jambalaya out new family favorite. Thanks for the tip!
jambalaya is a really good thing! I also would recommend canned meat & pasta, it is very tasty!
New to the channel! This was a great video!! I have 2 kids that we are taking on a week long camping trip into the superior national forest in a week and I can’t wait to try these out!!
Loved it! Especially that dinner was one pot.
Love this, thanks for all the ideas! I make your jambalaya at home all the time, in addition to out camping. It's easily one of my favorite budget friendly meals for anytime.
What great meal options while camping 👏🏼👏🏼
Love this type of video! It would be fun to see more videos like this
What a great idea for a video. I love your cooking videos and economizing these days is helpful. Thanks.
Great video and informative on how you broke it down by serving and getting the most out of the ingredients. This will be great to keep in mind when I plan my fall camping trip to the finger lakes district in upstate NY. I’m so looking forward to checking out Watkins Glen State Park, Kaaterskill Falls and Taughannock Falls State Park! I know I will be planning my meals around your recipes. Keep them coming!
That sounds like an awesome trip! I miss the Fall months in upstate NY. It's such a beautiful season. We have a pretty good Fall here in Utah, but nothing like the East Coast!
Love the video and also keep us posted on what you’re knitting 🎉
Great video! Would love to see more camping meal plans.
Looking good,i would eat everything's you made . Thank you for sharing this video
Great meals. You give me wonderful camp food inspiration!
This is such a good video! We are vegan, so I could imagine adjusting this for our needs. Breakfast - Double the oatmeal packet and add nuts, Lunch - chickpeas salad with bread and veggies, Dinner - Jambalaya with Red Kidney Beans. Snack - A S'mores Banana with vegan mini chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbles. If there is extra room in the budget, adding an apple would be nice. I don't know the cost, but it would be inexpensive.
🤣 ill have 3 strip loins please with my veggies, all jokes aside i love your positivity and ideas of changing it to fit your lifestyle
Always looking for meal plans…Have fun stay safe.
Great ideas! I need to think more about meal planning for camping. Not planning and buying as I go will cost me more, I'm sure. Thank you!
Everything looked yummy and practical. I also use that jambalaya mix but I usually use kielbasa sausage.
Love these videos! More please!
Little tip with the eggs, get rid of the plastic holders and instead use a plastic bottle and a funnel, crack your eggs, into the funnel and let them sink into the bottle, I usually go by 2 eggs per person,. You can shake the bottle and instant scrambled eggs!!
The Italian sausage for jambalaya, when Andouille was right beside it?!? (But seriously - these are all amazing ideas, thank you from someone perpetually on a budget!)
Maybe they cant handle thd heat i know some times andouille can be too hot for me at least and im used to putting sambal on everything
Love the suggestions. Breakfast is my favorite camping meal! We get the house-brand flavors of oatmeal & get a box of house-brand plain oatmeal packets, too. We then eat a plain & a flavored (cuts down on sugar consumed).bI’ll check out the Kodiak!
I can’t believe I forgot the bell pepper and onions when trying the one pot jambalaya! It was still good, just missing something and now I know what it was.
The best thing about this meal is being able to choose the sausage to make it your own. I think you used chicken in the video I watched and we tried the andouille (hot!!)
I live in a van also, I have 4 things for cooking, a Instant Pot 3 qt, a small pot with lid.A good propane burner. And a WOK ! I make many 1 WOK meals with rice, pasta etc, meat and veggies. Cheap and delicious, on YT are so many recipe for chinees cooking... Nothing out of a bag or pot, all fresh.
Amanda this was a really good video , young lady . But what I really am eating for is another video on your camper, I love stuff like that. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA.......
I'm planning to upload the next camper video on Sunday! We've made some good progress!
Thank you fir this very usefull video 😊 Could you add snacks and beverage ideas too? Hope you’re having a great summer and that your camping car renovating is going as you wish for 😘
Everything looks delicious! I would definitely make these!
Definitely more please!
Thanks Amanda. I’m from Australia. It’s interesting listening to you and discovering what foods are available in the Us
(Continued)
What they are called, what portions are called, what discounts are called (roll back), and what an individual serving is called.
There was a lot to learn and interpret.
Just on your final cost analysis: I don’t think I would like to be camping with people who were coffee addicts if they didn’t have their fix…..
All great ideas! I love these videos!
I enjoyed the video. Definitely will be trying your jambalaya recipe. 😊
of course!!! SHARE!, thank you for sharing.
unrelated to this video but i just wanted to say i made my own trail mix and cob salad from your site and i just wanted to say thank you! ive made a massive bag of trail mix for our week of camping soon
You’ve given me some ideas. I def do nice meals when I go camping. Often I do half spaghetti and half doodles that I make at camp. I add garlic and sauce of choice with grated hard cheese, parm or Romano. For lunches I love canned fish and crackers, sardines or smoked oysters and some olives and celery and carrots. Breakfast is usually eggs and meat, I find I can usually get breakfast sausage or bacon at a good price. Bacon is great cuz the grease can be saved to cook a high protein pancake that I top with yogurt. I usually cook based on what will spoil first if not eaten. Cook fish over the fire the first night with roasted veggies. Next morning cook up all the bacon and sausages that had been pulled frozen from my freezer at home. Bacon for breakfast as well as a nice blt for lunch. Sausage can go into the zoodles. Oatmeal with some Judees dehydrated cream and some soaked dried fruit and nuts makes a decadent breakfast. Yogurt doesn’t require as stringent of cold temps so extra bag of ice added to the cooler is fine for yogurt. The dried fruit and nuts makes a great snack during the day. As do the celery and carrots and zucchini that require little to no cooling. Only the last day do I finally break out the canned foods. I like potatoes with a packet of pulled pork. I can use the sausage grease to make a simple gravy with the powdered cream and a dab of flour and water and pieces of the pulled pork. It’s almost a shepherds pie if you sauté the celery and carrots with some onion.
Yes please more videos like this!🤗😋
Love this!
Awesome ideas!!!
Thanks.
All that looks good, I would definitely eat that.
I'd like to try that dish with the Italian sausage, but with a good chorizo like you find at Publix. It actually cooks up like sausage. I uncase it, pinch it up and fry it first.
Yes, yes, your menu matches mine. Thank you.
Would love to see a backpacking/through hiking version of this!
Love this great video- so many awesome ideas. Btw, you’re gorgeous!
Awesome video !! Would eat, will try.
That was great! Thank you!
More of these, please!
Love budget friendly. My only problem is the PNW, no fires allowed, there goes my dessert but I'll just eat the chocolate 😋
SE Arizona. Still allowed our propane fire pit and a tiny tabletop stove so s’mores are safe for now.
Love the video!
Excellent video.
Subscribed awesome ideas 👍
Great info! Thanks!
Yummy Amanda, I'd definitely have this menu during camp. The sausage you used, it is similar to chorizo? I live in Australia, and I wasn't familiar with the sausages you used. Thanks for sharing. PS I hope the caravan reno is going well.
Bulk up your eggs with mushrooms, peppers and onions. It makes a great breakfast skillet and adds healthy veg to your meals. Too many camping meals are low on veg.
Great ideas
Good job! Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes please
As a person who eats a vegan diet it can be challenging for me. Oatmeal is a go to but I try to meal prep at home to make it easier on the trail. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️
Really like this type of video and would love to see more. You definitely have to add celery to the jambalaya though lol. Can’t make Cajun food without the Holy Trinity 😂
Yes I can't believe I didn't think of that! Celery would be a great addition to the jambalaya!
Great idea, thanks.
Thank You Amanda
I like it!
❤🎉 nice sweet oh. Like
Camping but iam not afford this thanks 🙏
Good video. Nice meals. No coffee??
i wish the grocery stores in my location were as cheap as the ones near you
2:13 a tiny salt shaker??
My son's at day camp n I was trying to find him something cheap but good
One thing I never see anyone really mention in their backpacking or camping meals is dehydrated hash brown potatoes.
Not that expensive when you figure at the recommended serving sizes a little less than 50 cants a serving, packs down well and only takes a few minutes to soak and reconstitute and can make a nice addition for many breakfast or even dinner dishes to complete the meal.
I am always one that looks for things that store well, can be broken down into usable portion sizes with the remaining unused portions really still being able to maintain a good shelf life.
As a single person that really does not eat a lot to begin with I even like these types of foods at home.
If I buy a gag of say frozen hashbrown potatoes usually I will end up throwing a partial bag away as it will develop freezer burn before I will want hashbrowns often enough to consume the entire bag.
Hence the dehydrated option fits well even into my everyday life but is also good for camping, backpacking or in the event the power goes out and no refrigeration.
And everyone knows the Waffle House is known for their hashbrowns but did you also know that their hashbrowns are also dehydrated and reconstituted as well?
Just a tidbit as one can know that being dehydrated does not mean bad quality or taste!
I'm from Oahu, Hawaii and all that would cost me 20 to 30 bucks here lol
jambalaya I use canned fire roasted tomatoes with onion, peppers already in it... ( I spend extra for anduille sausage and a handful of chopped ham to go in it)
Wow 😳
Budget friendly seems to be the essential these days 😂 frfr
A++
this is great except that I'm in Canada and our prices are more than dubbed yours.
Is there anyone who does not love nature?
Good morning
How uran money 💰 7$
Just get some indomie
Drop the products on the video! It’s annoying and doesn’t come off when watching on your television🙄
$2.98 for EGGS ?? Your prices cant be 2024
I wouldn’t eat that exactly as presented, but I would eat it with cleaner ingredients. I have a huge history of cancer in my family, so I try to avoid pesticides, additives, etc.
