If there are fatty parts to the chicken, cut those off as well. Cover the chicken breasts with plenty of bbq sauce on both sides.

We love to get away and spend some quiet time with the family in the beauty of nature. Whether we are camping, or even on an extended stay in a hotel, there are a few meals I never leave home without. These meals are so simple, even a kid can make them! My son Isaac loved turning on the stove each night to warm up our dinner. With just a little forethought, you can make camping a breeze! Breakfast and lunch have become simplified over the years for our family. I used to make big, homemade breakfasts.
I have to admit I have become a little lazy over the years and we now only have cereal, yogurt and granola, or bagels with fruit. These meals are super simple and allows us to not have to clean any dishes—which is a bonus! However, my sister did make these Overnight Oatmeal Jars which were super yummy and would be easy to make ahead of time. These jars can be made a few days in advance and will be ready to eat when you need. All you do is add regular oats in a jar, some fresh fruit, real maple syrup, dash of salt and almond milk and lightly shake.
Keep these jars in the fridge overnight or for days and then serve with a little more almond milk as desired. Add some pumpkin and cinnamon for a fall flair. The options are limitless. Lunch is even easier, we only do sandwiches. Dinner is my favorite meal while camping. It makes me happy! The week or two before we go camping I double these recipes and freeze half of them to enjoy while away.
They are great for lunch or dinner, whichever you need. The thing I love about these tacos is they can feed an army! With the black beans and corn added to the meat, this meal can be stretched to feed several people. I love to make extra of this taco meat and use for a taco salad for an easy lunch. There is nothing easier than tacos when camping. Shred some lettuce, dice some tomatoes, serve with shredded cheese and away you go! If you like double decker tacos, warm some refried beans and serve some beans in between a flour and hard shell taco. Your family will be filled and happy before you know it!
Throw some chicken or pork in a slow cooker and let the machine do the work. After serveral hours drain off the excess juices and shred the meat. For a little gourmet flair, add some sliced avocado and some chipotle mayo shown above. Serve these sandwiches with baked beans, watermelon and chips.
Easy-peasy and super yummy! The best part about these, is when I make up a big batch of taco meat, I double the ground beef and use the other half for the sloppy joes. The base is the same of an onion and ground beef or turkey , so it makes these two recipes easy to make at the same time. Once the meat is ground, I put half of the meat in a second pan and turn that into sloppy joes. They are a little tangy, spicy and sweet. The perfect combo, if you ask me! I on the other hand, like a little healthier option of a homemade salad. Year-round 10 percent discount for active duty personnel, reservists, retired, or disabled veterans and immediate dependents.
