We do a fun thing at home where we draw a country name out of a pitcher we have, then we make a dinner based on that! I've never done it outdoors, but that might be an interesting idea to work with? I go to the Global Table Adventure website for menu inspiration and what I don't have in my 7000 cookbooks, haha
Christmas dinner with ham, scalloped potatoes and other fix'ns. Or have an Italian feast with lasagna and a rustic crusty bread, etc. or how about New England pot roast with potato rolls, etc.
Great job! I have helped my son’s BSA troop do that same meal. We invited family and any Cub Scouts wanting to join our troop. It was always the weekend before Thanksgiving and we deep died turkeys, smoked turkeys, had Dutch oven dessert cook offs. In the mornings I cooked pancakes for a good 1.5 hours. Then we started in on the rest. Always a great time cooking outdoors!
Very ambitious! I love your bravery taking this on. Thankfully no kids hanging around saying “I’m hungry! I’m bored!” You always have so many wonderful ideas. Love your channel.
Hello Amanda and Nick, and Amanda's Dad, Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I am camping while I await another grandbaby to be born in another state. It is cheaper to camp than to stay in a hotel room. My son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment, hence that's why I am camping. I don't mind it at all! ❤️⛺❤️
YOU DID IT! Congratulations from my wife and I, everything looked delicious! I find it a little chaotic just trying to manage the heat for one dutch oven! And it's great you had your Dad as your sous chef. I've always loved doing things with my daughter. It's always nice to see fathers and daughters outdoors on youtube. Happy Thanksgiving! P.S.: I really love your boots. What brand are they and where can I buy them? Thank you.
It was definitely a lot of work to plan it all and stay organized so I didn't forget anything. I was really tired at the end of the day, but overall it was so much fun!!
I love that! While we were eating, I said to Nick how I would love to make it a tradition to do some sort of outdoor thanksgiving meal every year, even if it's just in the backyard!
Happy Thanksgiving Amanda. This is so ambitious. And I got excited when I made my Nachos of yours in my Dutch oven. 😂 you are an inspiration Happy Holidays
The food looked amazing! Love the idea of being outdoors surrounded by nature and cooking an entire Thanksgiving dinner 😊 Perhaps you could try something similar for Christmas...maybe brunch?
I haven’t written the recipes yet since I was just making it on the fly out there! For the mashed potatoes I used Yukon gold and then added lots of butter, a splash of whole milk, chives, salt and pepper to taste. They are so delicious and really easy! For the gravy, I used some of the fat from the chicken roast and a little butter with flour to make a roux. Then I added chicken broth, fresh thyme and rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. Sorry I don’t have more detailed recipes on the blog like I normally do!
I was very tired afterwards, but overall it was so much fun. I did a lot of organization at home that really helped me when we got outside for the day!
Yeah, I should have shown some of the at-home prep because I spent a lot of time planning what I would make, how it would all work together, and if I would even have enough dutch ovens to cook it all!
Love this! What an awesome experience to share with your dad as well. My birthday always falls on/around Thanksgiving and I always love to host a big dinner. Perhaps next year I will do something like this! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Happy Birthday! 🤗 While we were eating, I said to Nick how I would love to turn this into a tradition and host more friends and family for a big outdoor cookout every year! I think that would be so much fun.
I cooked a full Thanksgiving meal all by myself once for 15 people. No help. Never again!😂 I can’t imagine doing it all over a campfire! Great job! And all the food looks so delicious, I could smell it through the screen😋
Well done Amanda and Dad! You are such an encouragement to us outside cookers! I love watching you and getting your helpful hints! Thank you! Love your sweet spirit!
Hear me out: Thanksgiving hobo packets… Turkey leg/breast or ground over… Green beans, sweet potato cubes/regular potatoes, corn on the cob, carrots, onions etc. Bake some rolls/stuffing muffins (stuffing in a muffin tin) in the Coleman Camp oven Reheated make ahead gravy Store bought pie “Low expectations” 😂❤👌
Such an amazing spread!! So delicious looking, literally every single dish! you motivate me to cook outdoors and make it delicious. I cooked your dutch oven choclate chip cookie recipe. My first dutch oven over coals recipe. It turned out AMAZING. Everyone called it "the disappearing cake". it was for my sons birthday at camp and 2 other families present. It was literally gone in 30 seconds. No exagerration.
Back in the 1990’s, I tried to cook a chicken over a campfire. Epic failure. When camping, keep it super simple,e unless you are a master campfire cooker.
Why do you show no interest in a cooking table? It seems like you do a lot of prep at home before you camp which may explain it, but you do a lot of cooking. We noticed a small table and squatting. It just seemed odd that you seemed to have no use or desire for a camp kitchen table.
I think food does taste better after you've been trying to cook it all day! Incredible feat!!! Hard enough to get all this on the table with a stove top and oven! Kudos! I already have my desserts planned out but that apple galette is tempting me! 😋
I was definitely tired after cooking all of that, but it was totally worth it! Desserts are my favorite thing to make, so I was really glad it turned out okay!
Hi Frank! I love cast iron cooking too. Cooking a good meal outdoors is one of my favorite activities. This was really fun because I got to use so many dutch ovens at once! 🤗
@@amanda.outside yes I agree , I have a ton of cast iron but don't get to use it as much as I would like to.. Nobody I know wants to go camping so I gotta live through your videos ( and others ) did you ever hear of a you tube channel called " cast iron chaos ?" He is pretty good you should give him a try. THANK you for your response... Frank.
Wow! That looked so amazing! You made it look so easy yet I'm sure it required a lot of planning and hard work! Good job Chef Amanda 😊 Happy Thanksgiving! 🐓
I should have shown more of the prep at home for this one because it was a lot, but I think that was key to everything going pretty well out there! I was tired by the end, but I would definitely do it again!
@@amanda.outside I would definitely watch it again! I'm sure it was just as satisfying to dump what you made at home right into the bowls and Dutch ovens at camp!
All the prep definitely saved me! I don’t think I could have pulled it off otherwise. We had so much fun I would love to turn it into a yearly tradition!
What do you challenge me to make next? Maybe we can turn this into a series… 😁
Do it!

Have you tried barring food and covering it to cook with coals??
Christmas dinner?
Christmas dinner with ham, scalloped potatoes and other fix'ns. Or have an Italian feast with lasagna and a rustic crusty bread, etc. or how about New England pot roast with potato rolls, etc.
This was so fun to watch! Everything looked so amazing too! Your Dad was the star of the show! Happy Thanksgiving!
He will love to hear that!! He always gets so excited to be on the channel. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

This is amazing! I love cooking a whole spatchcocked chicken over an open fire!
Very ambitious! I love your bravery taking this on. Thankfully no kids hanging around saying “I’m hungry! I’m bored!” You always have so many wonderful ideas. Love your channel.
Everything looks amazing! A fun cooking day. How about a series of cooking a 3 course meal from each state.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! My boots are Sorels. I got them last year so I'm not sure if they're still available but they're the Lennox style.
Thnks for the reply! Have a wonderful day!@@amanda.outside

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. The dinner took a long time but it was worth it, looks delicious, you guys enjoy.
Happy Thanksgiving to you! It was a lot of effort, but totally worth it!
Happy Thanksgiving Amanda. This is so ambitious. And I got excited when I made my Nachos of yours in my Dutch oven. 😂 you are an inspiration Happy Holidays
Happy Thanksgiving to you too! Nachos in the dutch oven are still one of my favorites!
Inspirational!
The food looks great! Now I’m thinking about roasting a chicken. Beautiful area. Happy Thanksgiving!
The food looked amazing! Love the idea of being outdoors surrounded by nature and cooking an entire Thanksgiving dinner 😊 Perhaps you could try something similar for Christmas...maybe brunch?
Very impressive - it all looked delicious! Glad the apple pie turned out ok 😁👍
Me too! I was a little worried, but we had no problem eating all of the leftovers 😂
I'm not at all surprised 😂👍
The looked amazing
Love it! Would you be willing to share your mashed potatoes and gravy recipe? I’ve been looking for a good one!

Man that looks delicious! And how did you find Joe Walsh out there in the desert? Lol
Looks amazing. I don’t know how you coordinated everything. That was a lot of work.
I was very tired afterwards, but overall it was so much fun. I did a lot of organization at home that really helped me when we got outside for the day!
Happythanksgiving
What brand parchment paper did you use?
That's fantastic. Ambitious for sure but everything looked great. It'd be cool to see all the prep and planning it took to get there.
Yeah, I should have shown some of the at-home prep because I spent a lot of time planning what I would make, how it would all work together, and if I would even have enough dutch ovens to cook it all!
@@amanda.outside I didn't know there's a chart for the number of coals needed for a certain temperature. Looked like everything was timed perfectly. 👍
Love this! What an awesome experience to share with your dad as well. My birthday always falls on/around Thanksgiving and I always love to host a big dinner. Perhaps next year I will do something like this! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Happy Birthday! 🤗 While we were eating, I said to Nick how I would love to turn this into a tradition and host more friends and family for a big outdoor cookout every year! I think that would be so much fun.
Huge fan of Campsgiving!
That all looks so delicious! So fun to have your dad with you. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Happy Thanksgiving Amanda Gildae’s the meal looked great. The best part was your dad wandering off in the background 😂😂
Well done Amanda and Dad! You are such an encouragement to us outside cookers! I love watching you and getting your helpful hints! Thank you! Love your sweet spirit!
And I didn’t know that about the ash and the heat. Educational.
Hear me out:
Thanksgiving hobo packets…
Turkey leg/breast or ground over…
Green beans, sweet potato cubes/regular potatoes, corn on the cob, carrots, onions etc.
Bake some rolls/stuffing muffins (stuffing in a muffin tin) in the Coleman Camp oven
Reheated make ahead gravy
Store bought pie
“Low expectations” 😂❤👌

Hi Amanda, just wondering if you have a 10 essentials video? Or what your essentials are? Also what you keep as a first aid hiking? Many thanks 😊

Wow! Holy Smokes! You did an amazing job. All of you! ❤️
I loved this
This was so fun to watch, and everything looked delicious!
Really cool idea!! The meal looked amazing. Enjoyed this video a lot
What a great video! I have no parents left now, so it made this even more poignant.❤
You are AMAZING!!!
That was awesome! Thank you for sharing ;)
Great idea. Keeps the kitchen clean. 😅
Awesome!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Come on nick you have a voice. You could talk behind the camera even if you are camera shy.
Yum… you can camp 🏕️ with me any time… lol 😂
Planning and prep and a willing helper! That was inspiring. I have done Thanksgiving in a Dutch oven several times, but not as elaborate as yours.
All the prep definitely saved me! I don’t think I could have pulled it off otherwise. We had so much fun I would love to turn it into a yearly tradition!
