Favorite Camp Meal: Breakfast!

Most definitely!! I love waking up in my warm sleeping bag to hear my husband rustling around at the firepit, getting it ready for me to make breakfast for the family! On our next campout I am trying some new recipes. We've tried waffles and pancakes and eggs, and I would love to expand our camping recipe box!
Both of the recipes I'm trying come from this fabulous blog called One Sweet Appetite, written by a lovely lady in Utah named Jesseca. I actually just went through her blog the other day and bookmarked almost a dozen recipes that I want to try! Yummy!
Matt, my husband, along with our two dogs, are going camping in October in Pennsylvania together. One of the first places we camped before we were married was at a beautiful spot called Heart's Content, so cute, right? That site was all booked for the weekend we're going, so we're camping at Chapman State Park, right next door! We plan to hike at Heart's Content the morning we arrive at camp, before we can check in. Hopefully we'll bring back some good memories!
We always wake up with coffee (for Matt) and OJ (for me) and then some instant oatmeal. Then we move on to the main course, which I prefer to prepare ahead of time; makes it so much easier! The first morning we're at camp we'll have sausage gravy with biscuits - makes me think of my dad eating at Bob Evans! I used turkey sausage, it is so much cheaper than anything else right now and I love that is kind of good for you!! Here's the recipe at Jesseca's site. By the way, the pic is Jesseca's, too! I totally forgot to take any when I was cooking ahead of time. I've frozen the gravy and will make the biscuits the day before we leave. Thank you, Jesseca!
The next morning Matt and I will be eating these super yummy breakfast burritos that Jesseca dreamed up. I made so many but my family gobbled them down immediately so I'll have to make another batch before we go! They are super easy to make and even my kids loved them, (btw, I have super picky eaters!) I'll freeze the rest after I make them, but all you have to do to reheat them is pop them in the microwave or stick them in the coals of your fire to heat up. Here's the recipe!
So our gratitude goes out to Jesseca at One Sweet Appetite! We're looking forward to some hearty breakfasts thanks to her love for cooking and sharing!
