5 Quick and Delicious Camping Meals You Should Try
If you want fast and easy meals for your family camping vacation, consider out the following recipes:
1. Scrambled Eggs
This meal can be a great way to kickstart your day.
Ingredients:

· Stir the mixture until the egg whites and water are properly mixed up. Then, place the pan over the campfire.
· As the butter starts to melt, remove the pan from the fire, stir the mixture again before returning it to the campfire. Repeat this process until all the butter has melted.

You can have this for breakfast, lunch, or as a quick snack at any time of the day.
