cinnamon / 3 pinches of nutmeg / 1.5 boxes of instant banana pudding.

ziplock bag place 2 eggs - chunks of ham - pieces of peppers and
onions. Seal the bag an place in the boiling water until the eggs are
cooked. Open the bags and add grated cheese - mix until the cheese is
melted. Caution: placing the cheese in the bag before cooking makes it
very hard to tell when the eggs are cooked since melted cheese looks
like runny eggs. A paint marker makes it easy to mark each scout's bag
in the pot of water.

-
maple - spicy), then eggs are fried, English muffins are toasted and
the sausage - egg - and a slice of cheese are combined in the muffins
for a warm and tasty breakfast.

and
topped off with a Little Debbies' snack cake. Great for last days to
get a quick breakfast and limit the clean-up.

Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits and form each piece into a donut shape -
place in the oil until light brown / flip until done - place in a
ziplock bag with powdered sugar and coat - pull out of the bag and
place on a napkin. (Can be cooked in vegetable oil, if you are camping
VERY close to home.)

Deserts
- Cobbler - hours in advance someone needs to be
creating a supply of hot coals. Dutch ovens are lined with aluminum to
limit clean-up. Use liquid butter to coat the foil - empty two 21oz
cans of pie filling into the dutch oven - sprinkle a box of cake mix
over the pie filling - add a little butter and a sprinkle some
cinnamon. Make sure there are hot coals under and on top of the dutch
oven. Cook until the cake mix looks right.

Mountain House / Alpineaire all make a variety of meals that only
require hot water to be added.
- Place everything for a meal in a 1-gallon
ziplock
bag. This might include a ziplock bag with 1-cup rice, a can of cooked
chicken or foil pack of tuna, a 1-3/4oz. bag of peanuts or granola bar
and perhaps a couple teabags or coffee singles. Water can be boiled and
placed in the ziplock bag to cook the rice - and the chicken or tuna is
added to heat up. After the meal all the trash is sealed back up in the
