No doubt you are anticipating a long awaited break over this coming weekend.
When I was younger, long weekends always meant camping.
A big part of the time out camping was spent preparing meals. And considerably less time spent eating them. Somehow everything always tasted better cooked in the fresh air of the high country or over the open fire.
We would experiment with combinations of leftovers in the jaffle iron. My fav was left over roast lamb, cheese and a basil pesto dip. Unfortunately our lamb won't be ready for this weekend but you'll find leftover roast beef would be just as good.
We found making spaghetti sauce before hand and freezing it flat, in ziplock bags is a space saver and a simple, home cooked meal ready to reheat.
Larger items like roasts and briskets are great frozen and act as an additional ice block.
If we are honest, although the week prior to going away can be exciting, it can also be a little stressful.
So I’m going to make it simple for you. Have you packed…
Tent? Check
Spare socks? Check
Meat? Check
Kids? Check
You are set.
No, of course there is more involved than just that. So I’ve put together a basic planner to help inspire your meals.
I hope you find inspiration and have a stress free, enjoyable long weekend wherever you find yourself.
Happy travels,
Farmer Steph
