Hot Well Dunes

Once again we had a successful camping trip. Kameron had a blast and so did we! I tried some new recipes, some worked, some did not what-so-ever, but all I can say is we ate well and played hard. I love going to the Hot Well Dunes, it is a beautiful spot and has great camp sites with shade and water. It was a little on the toasty side for the hot springs guess I will just have to wait until next year for those but we really didn't have much time for sitting and relaxing with all the riding we did.

Kameron loved playing in the stream that ran through our campsite.


So the campfire popcorn didn't work and let me tell you my son and I were pretty disappointed. We will have to find another way of doing it because popcorn on a camping trip is pure genius, especially for our family, we are popcorn lovers! The campurritos were perfection, I actually wish I had made more. My husband, son, and our good friend enjoyed these greatly. 

Campurritos

These breakfast burritos were super easy to make. The morning before we left I threw these together, you could even do it the night before you leave and put them in the fridge. What you will need:

Bacon/Sausage (I used bacon)

8 eggs

5 small potatoes

foil

2 C shredded cheddar cheese

6 large tortillas

1) Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks. Boil until potatoes are tender.

2) While potatoes are boiling, cook bacon. 

3) Dispose bacon grease and scramble eggs, cook in pan that you cooked bacon.

4) After you drain potatoes, chop bacon into pieces, and pour all ingredients into a large bowl and mix together.

5) Lay large tortilla on a piece of foil, pour some of the mixture onto burrito and wrap. Wrap with the foil then refrigerate.

6) When it's breakfast time place over hot coals until warm. Enjoy!

Unfortunately other than steaks, portabello mushroom burgers, hot dogs, and asparagus over the hot campfire, I didn't try any other campfire recipes this time like I had planned. Happy camping to you all and you better hurry the season is warming up quickly! Oh before I forget... I also made some of the best oatmeal bar cookies hand down that I wanted to share! Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Bars. They are perfect for picnics or camping.

Butterscotch Chocolate Oatmeal Bars

I got this recipe two Christmases ago and they have become a favorite! They are easy to make, transport, and non messy. Here is what you will need:

2 C all purpose flour

1 1/2 C brown sugar

1 C quick-oats

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 C melted butter

1 C semisweet chocolate chips

1 C butterscotch chips

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1) Pre heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.

2) In a bowl mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and oats. Stir in butter.

3) Press 3 C of the mix into baking pan and cook 10 minutes.

4) Remove pan and sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and sweetened condensed milk. Then sprinkle the top with the remainder of the oat and flour mixture.

5) Bake an additional 30 minutes. Very important that when you remove it from the oven, before cutting the bars into squares you let the pan cool completely. I usually bake them at night and let them sit over night before I cut them up and remove them from the pan.

Enjoy!
