Easy Sticky Chicken Wings

We mixed up this quick sauce with what we had on hand and let the wings sit for about a half hour. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees, convection setting if you have it.

2 limes plus the zest from half of one lime

1 tbsp. fish sauce

One inch piece of ginger, finely grated

2 cloves of garlic, finely grated

1/2 cup of brown sugar

3/4 cup soy sauce

After letting the wings marinate in the sauce, cover a sheet pan in foil and pour the sauce and wings on to the pan. Cover the pan in foil and put it in the oven for 30 minutes at 450 degrees Celsius. After 30 minutes, remove the foil cover, flip the wings and bake for about 10 minutes more making sure the sauce does not burn. Remove the wings when nicely browned and plate. Pour the remaining sauce in to a saucepan and thicken on the stove top over high heat if you would like more dipping sauce.

First Trip of the Year - Camping Menu

We are heading out to the Okanagan for some much needed fun in the sun! Here is the plan for camping friendly easy meals for the 5 days away.

Breakfasts

We always go for easy breakfasts, no one wants to do a big load of breakfast dishes, we would rather just eat something and get started with our day. 

Blueberries, plain Greek yogurt, homemade granola

Cereal and fruit for the kids.

Coffee, of course.

Lunches

Since it is camping we HAVE to have hot dogs, everyone loves them and camping is the one time of year they get put in the grocery cart!

Hot dogs

Sandwiches, ham or turkey

Cut vegetables and dip

Greek Salad

Snacks

Home made nut mix

Chips

Veggies and dip

Fruit

Dinners

We have 4 dinners needed for the week, we usually put the most effort into making dinner daily. The day is winding down and it is nice to have a big meal after being outside in the fresh air all day. We usually try to keep it simple and only use the BBQ and propane stove outside.

Sausages with peppers, onions and potatoes.

Par boil the potatoes and slice the (pre-cooked) sausages into thirds, combine with chopped pepper and onion on a sheet of foil with whole garlic cloves, butter and fresh herbs. One packet per person. Grill on the fire for 5-6 minutes per side or BBQ for 10 minutes per side.

Steaks, Fire Potatoes and Caesar Salad

Hamburgers with Tomato, Cheese, Pickles, Onion

Burritos on the BBQ
