I Heart Camping

Camping is such fun.  It is a lot of work (preparing, packing, setting up, lots of cooking, breaking down, cleaning up, laundry for days) but totally worth it.  This is our second year going to Las Canadas and we love it.  I guess some would say, it's not really camping since there is running water, showers and electricity.  I say if  you are sleeping in a tent, that qualifies.  There is so much to do at Las Canadas: zip-lining, hiking, fishing, horse back riding, paddle boating, concerts, pools, etc. 

One of our favorite things to do is cooking.  This year, Mr. Casillas took his smoker and we smoked a pork shoulder and ribs..hmmm mmmm mmm.  If you are going camping and need some menu ideas, here is our menu:

Thursday
Lunch: tuna salad tostadas
Dinner: sea bass foil packs, avocado salad and rice
Friday
Breakfast: eggs and pancakes
Lunch: pressed sandwiches
Dinner: pulled pork sandwiches
Dessert: chocolate fondue with fruit, marshmallows, and pretzel sticks

Saturday
Breakfast: potatoes, chorizo and chilaquiles
Lunch: burgers and hot dogs
Dinner: bbq ribs, mashed potatoes, and baked beans
Dessert: homemade donuts and hot chocolate

Yeah, after camping I should go on a fast!  Can't wait to do it again.
