Camping Dinners in Yosemite

SCD Chicken Salad

...And the last installment of SCD Camping in Yosemite blogs... It has been a busy summer, and we are gearing up for the next school year around here (already?!), so let's wrap up this SCD Camping theme!

My Mom made some great SCD dinners for us all!  We enjoyed sitting around their table each night, talking about our day over the delicious meals.

Unfortunately, with dinner coming at the end of long days, I didn't get pictures of every dinner but they were great!

The night we got there, we had Sloppy Joe's with an SCD meat sauce. I had mine over SCD Focaccia Bread (recipe coming soon in a new cookbook!). Served with veggies and watermelon.

The next night we had Taco Salad - bagged lettuce with SCD seasoned ground beef, chopped tomato, green onions, grated cheese, and SCD yogurt for me. 

Next up was spaghetti - homemade SCD meatballs with legal marinara sauce for me, along with veggies on the side.

Then it was Chicken Salad with bagged lettuce, Trader Joe's legal canned chicken mixed with legal mayonnaise, chopped grapes, green onion, and grated cheddar cheese.

And last but certainly not least was a yummy Polynesian Pile-On. This is a meal I remember having on camping trips or for group meals growing up and it's easy to make SCD-style. Mine consisted of Trader Joe's legal canned chicken, Dole Crushed Pineapple, grated cheddar cheese, chopped celery, sliced green onion, and sliced almonds.

For desserts each night Mom supplied me with SCD Peanut Butter Cookie Bars she had baked at home and put in snack-sized baggies. A fun treat!

We also discovered a nice substitute for popcorn: Salted in the shell peanuts. It was fun to crack those around the campfire and not feel at all deprived!

It was a great (and yummy) trip, and I hope these ideas spur you on to delicious SCD adventures!
