Nicodemus' Ham Happiness

by Wendy Perez
(Brevard County, FL, USA)

In heavy duty foil pack include:

*1/4 piece of a ham steak

*1/2 cup, cut up sweet potatoes
(the thinner you slice them -- the quicker your meal will cook)

*1/2 cup green beans
(you can use fresh or frozen - whichever you prefer)

*butter
*garlic powder
*brown sugar

cook around 15 minutes -- until veggies are tender --

remember, you can always increase the veggie portions

ENJOY!

please note: I don't add salt to this because of the ham -- if you substitute another type of meat -- you might want to also include some Lawry's seasoned salt or Goya Adobo seasoning (which has everything from salt, black pepper, garlic, oregano mixed in already - very convenient!)

Zucchini Pizzas

by Wyrm
(Carnation, WA)

You need a monster zucchini, one that's about 3 inches wide. Cut this into about one inch slices. Roast these over the fire on a grill brushed with garlic butter (or just plain butter).

Once one side is cooked flip over and top with pizza sauce and shredded cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese melts. (You can also use eggplant, but it's more difficult to get kids to eat it.)

Stew packets

by Danielle Hanratty
(Sherwood Park, AB, Canada)

When I went to Brownie Camp we used to make these:

carrot cut into chunks
1 potato cut into cubes
1 frozen hamburger patty broken into chunks
1 package of Lipton's Onion Soup
1 dollop of butter

Use tin foil to make a packet meal. Cut a square of tinfoil and put carrots, potato, hamburger in. Sprinkle with package of soup mix and put butter on top. Cook for 20 minutes on the hot coals of the campfire. You may need to check it. Yum.
