Creating Family Connections One RV Adventure at a Time
Ever since he was a kid, Jarrett has been a fan of pineapple upside down cake, and it’s a treat he has enjoyed making on past camping trips. But lately we have been experimenting with more gluten-free options to add to our camping recipe repertoire, so rather than sticking with the traditional recipe, he started trying some variations. This gluten-free pineapple upside down cake took
During the heat of the summer, we often keep our campfire cooking simple because laboring over a hot fire isn’t much fun–just roasting a marshmallow can be a scorching event! But with the fall camping season just around the corner, I find myself on the hunt for new comfort food recipes to try. The cooler autumn temperatures are just begging for time spent around a
Looking for some fresh new ideas for simple and delicious gluten-free camping meals? Then you’ve come to the right place! Ever since our son started eating a gluten-free diet, it’s been a challenge to rework our eating habits, especially when we hit the road for our RVing adventures. Little by little, though, I’ve been working to build a recipe collection of gluten-free camping meal ideas.
During our fall visit to Lehman’s two years ago, we scooped up one of Rome’s pie irons we had been eyeing for awhile: the waffle iron. It was several months before we were able to put it to good use on our Pennsylvania camping tour–but the wait was worth it. Campfire waffles will be a regular part of our camping menu from now on, and this
Since putting our son on a gluten-free diet at the beginning of this year, one of the sweet treats our whole family has missed a lot is donuts. I know, I know. They aren’t good for us. There is nothing nutritionally redeeming about them. But donuts are somewhat nostalgic for me: When I was a kid my dad would often take me to play tennis early
One of our family’s favorite parts about camping is the fun we have cooking around the campfire. And after the main meal is cleared away, it’s time (as Jarrett’s great-grandmother would say) to get the grease out of your neck … i.e., have some dessert! S’mores are generally our family’s first choice, but with the recent development of a gluten-sensitivity for one of our camping kiddos,
This past year I have been on the hunt for more gluten-free recipes to add to our camping meal repertoire. Fortunately there are a lot of great recipe ideas out there, but not all of them are a great fit for camping. I like my camping meals to be kid-friendly, simple (this is supposed to be a vacation after all), and ones that use easily obtainable ingredients
You know by now that I am always looking to expand my dutch oven cooking repertoire–and our recent trip to Charles Mill (review coming soon!) was the perfect opportunity to experiment with a new dessert option. We have been doing more gluten-free cooking here at home, so I found a recipe for dutch oven seven-layer brownies that I tweaked to be gluten free. Ingredients: 1 gluten-free brownie mix
Last week we shared how storing our camper in the South saved us time and money this winter. And while this plan worked out really well for us, having a camper in storage forced me to prep and pack entirely different from the way I typically get ready for our camping trips. Usually our camper is parked right next to our garage, so loading the RV
Last year we launched this “Favorite Things” series as a way to highlight some of the fun things going on behind the scenes here at The Touring Camper. We try to post daily over on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, but a lot of what we post on social media we never get a chance to share on the blog. So here are some of our
Last summer during our tour of the Washington, D.C. region, a fellow camper gave us a great tip about going to the National Museum of the Marine Corps. We had never heard of it before, but since we had some extra time in our schedule, we decided to go check it out, and we are…
According to AAA, this year’s Covid outbreak led wary Americans to cancel at least 150 million summer vacations. Within the camping industry, many RVers had to scramble to make new plans as campgrounds around the country cancelled reservations. Although most of those locations have since reopened to RVs and tenting families, many campgrounds still cancelled…
