Going On Picnic/Overnight Camping - Need Portable & Easy Side Dishes?
We're going camping tomorrow and wanted to bring food that is premade so we can just heat it up at night on the camping site grill.
So far I made ribs and baked beans. Any other ideas for some yummy sides? Please post link to recipe. Thanks.
I would be happy to give you some recipes & will include some below....things that don't need to be heated...however, at this late point, I would say, just run to the market & pick out some things pre-made in the deli & produce departments. Potato salad, mac salad, fresh fruit, etc. Maybe grab some brownies or cookies too.
But here's something you can make, if you really insist!
Best Ever Wild Rice Picnic Salad
1 Package Uncle Ben’s long grain & wild rice (cooked, as directed on package & then chilled)
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
¼ cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup celery, sliced
5 radishes, sliced
1 cup cucumber, diced
Combine oil & vinegar, stir into chilled rice. Add onion & celery; mix well. Chill. Stir in radishes & cucumber before serving.
Coleslaw, my way
1one pound bag “Ready Pac Coleslaw” (or about 8 cups finely chopped cabbage)
½cup chopped onion
1cup sour cream
½cup mayonnaise
1tablespoon sugar
1teaspoon seasoned salt
1teaspoon dry mustard
¼teaspoon black pepper
1tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 – Combine cabbage & sugar in large bowl & toss. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
2 – Combine remaining ingredients in medium bowl.
3 – Pour dressing over cabbage mixture & toss.
4 – Chill & then serve. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
Deviled Eggs
4 hard boiled eggs
¼teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1tablespoon mayonnaise
1teaspoon lemon juice
Speckof mustard
Few grains of salt
½teaspoon onion, finely chopped (or onion salt)
Cut eggs lengthwise. Remove yolks.
Mash yolks & blend with remaining ingredients.
Stuff egg white with this mixture, heaping tops generously.
Wrap stuffed halves separately in squares of plastic wrap or waxed paper.
(or, just bring some boiled eggs to have for breakfast?)
And here's a special treat! Travels well in the Rubbermaid container!
Strawberry Trifle
1Pkg Cake mix (yellow or white) – note: you only need 1 layer, so 9 oz mix works!
116 ounce package frozen strawberry halves, thawed
14 serving size package Vanilla pudding (prepared & chilled)
1cup chilled whipping cream
¼cup sugar
Bake cake in 9x9x2 pans as directed on package. Cool. (If you have used a 2 layer cake, reserve one for another use, or make another trifle?) Cut cake into 8 pieces; split each piece horizontally. Arrange half the pieces in a 2-quart glass serving bowl (or use a 9 cup Rubbermaid clear container), cutting the pieces to fit bowl. Pour half the strawberries (with syrup) over cake, spread 1 cup of the pudding over the strawberries. Repeat with remaining cake pieces, strawberries & pudding. Cover and chill at least 4 hours.
In chilled bowl, beat the cream & sugar until stiff (or just buy Cool Whip, instead), spread over trifle. Sprinkle with some toasted almonds or garnish with some fresh strawberries, if desired. Spoon into dessert dishes. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Variation: Banana Trifle:
Substitute devils food cake for yellow. Substitute 2 large bananas for the strawberries. Blend ¾ cup milk into the prepared pudding. You can garnish with halved cherries!
Hope you have a great trip!
