Re: Cook THEN Dehydrate? Also camping tips

[Guest guest]

Mike,

After being on SCD for a year, my hubby and I finally went camping. He

is still around stage 2 on the 'stages chart', but we have introduced

a few stage 3 things as some stage 1 & 2 things have not been

tolerated yet.

For camping food:

I canned applesauce in little pint and 1/2 pint jars, so they didn't

take up any cooler space. We also wanted to take food out on the

bicycles with us and 1 jar served both of us.

I also packed little cans of Dole pineapple in its own juice (once

again we shared this portion).

Bananas

Cans of tuna (for the canned tuna we just opened a can of legal tuna

on the road. Instead of mayo, we added a little bit of yogurt (pre

seasoned with salt, pepper and mustard)).

SCD pumpkin muffins (we use nut butter, although you could use ground

chicken instead.)

Yogurt

Hard boiled eggs

Regular eggs (we made omelets with leftover veggies, cheese and meat)

Cheese

Frozen green beans

Onion

Mushrooms

Pre-cubed butternut

Chicken

Burgers

Various spices and condiments

For drinks:

Water

Little cans of Dole pineapple juice (which served both of us when

diluted (we took these on the road).)

Little bottles of Welch's (which served both of us when diluted (took

these on the road).)

Regular sized bottles of Welch's

1/2 Gallon of apple cider

Tea and coffee bags

Our favorite meal was 1 chicken breast each, with mushrooms, cubed

squash, onion, salt/pepper, all wrapped up in foil and cooked in the

coals. We cooked them for about 1 hour, roating them every 15 mins or

so. So yummy! (I rarely cook in aluminum, so I don't feel guilty the

few times I do.)

For the road, we packed my saddlebags with applesauce, pineapple or

banana, tuna, and squash muffins. In a little lunch cooler with ice,

we packed double yogurts (one to use as mayo, and one to eat with

fruit), cheese, and hard boiled eggs.

At the camp site we had several smaller coolers. One was a drink

cooler, the second was a snack cooler, and the third was for meat and

veggies. That way, we didn't have to rummage through one larger cooler

all the time.

I don't know what your son is able to tolerate, but avocado would be a

good addition. You can use it in the tuna salad instead of the

yogurt/mayo, or eat it as a snack. Squash buttons would be a great

snack idea, too. If he doesn't tolerate nut butter yet, cooked chicken

which is ground in a food processor works as a flour substitute in

many of the muffin and bread recipes (just keep cool). You could also

bake apples with cinnamon and honey. If you do dairy, crunchy cheese

crackers are good for munching. Kabobs would be good for over a fire,

too. Kids love to pick out their own combinations. Another fun idea

might be making a stew or soup made over a fire. Tell the story about

Stone Soup and make up your own version using SCD legal ingredients

instead, like using butternut in place of potatoes, etc.

Hope these ideas can help you have a fun camping trip. Let us know how

it goes!
