Well y’all, we’re gonna be home for a long while. I am taking advantage of the time at home and making lots of yummy foods. I’m so thankful that we have plenty of food to make things work for a long time. My friend here at camp is doing curbside orders on Sunday and is picking up for anyone who wants to place an order, so I’m doing that to get just a bit more. I also have a few orders coming that I placed early last week. One has snacks mostly (nutritious ones), and the other has toilet paper! Woo hoo!
Anyway.
All that to say, I have had a whole lot of meal ideas in my head but I need to get them in print so that I don’t forget!
I’m just going to share a list for each meal time because we tend to want to just pick and choose things each day. I also try to have some stuff prepped to just make sure I am ready to make things. The meals will be repeated.
Any baked good will be making with freshly ground hard white wheat flour, gluten free/grain free flours of different types, or will be sourdough.

As a camp, we are making good stewardship a priority, and I’m excited to see how this plays out. Composting, recycling, a community garden, etc. I’m also excited that we have 11 chickens! It’ll take a while till they lay eggs, but it’ll be here eventually. They are a good long-term plan.
Lots of changes are happening with-in the camping world in general. Our camp is having changes too, but they aren’t quite as drastic as some others (for now). We are just trying to take advantage of extra time together and hope for the best!
Alright… I have been working on this post all day. I’m going to bed! Ha!
