I just went camping for the first time this weekend! Although I'm no longer a vegetarian, I can give you a few campfire/grill suggestions:

1. Campfire quesadillas! Take a tortilla. Slather it with some beans and cheese. Place another tortilla on top. Cook on top of aluminum foil.
2. Eggs! We shaped foil into small rounds using the base or a wide bottom water bottle. Poured an egg in. Covered it with a leaf to create a pseudo-oven enviroment and had a wonderful sunny side up.
3. You don't have to just throw ON the grill. You can throw some foil-wrapped potatoes INTO the grill. Find a hot spot in the coal/wood but away from fire.
4. I also prepared some tandoori paneer & veggie skewers the day before our trip. But I think that required too much prep work.
5. Our friend brought Texas toast and we cooked it on the grill of the campfire.

I hope this helps & hope you have a better experience that I did. Our camping trip was a wash-out but still enjoyable under a tarp!

I had three fresh corn in the fridge, so I was super excited to try this out. And the fact that I was able to use my cast iron casserole dish was an added bonus. Unfortunately, I ran out milk & my cheddar had seen better days. I was determined to make it, so I substituted one cup of yogurt for the milk & feta cheese instead of cheddar. This is a very versatile recipe & yummy! Thanks!

Kitchen gadgets:
Would you recommend getting a knife block set (8-10 pc) or just have two or three good knives, such as a chef's knife & paring knives? Knife block set seems to come w useful knives such as a bread knife and different sized paring knives.

I'm a fan of the Presto Saladshooter: It makes shredding cheeses, carrots, radishes, potatoes etc. quick & easy.

Any suggestions on mincing garlic and not getting your hands to smell? I usually just mince w a chef's knife.
My boyfriend appreciates my food, but not the garlic hands. :)
