Our Eats!

We have been taking pictures of our camping meals for years now, and they always seem to make it into our posts...along with the occasional G & T and a few cans of assorted beer. We thought it would be cool to gather all our foodie pictures in one spot, perhaps throw in a bit of explanation, and keep growing the photos as we camp. Another motivation is it will help us with meal ideas for future trips. Amazing what one can forget over time...

Hydro Flask Pint Glasses...work great!

pan rolls are ridiculously good

sticky carmalized salmon

Kabobs and roasted baby potatoes

hard to beat a burger and a beer

the Hario V60 pour over coffee decanter...big thumbs up!

kabob and a side...simple and tasty

never tire of a burger

pan grilled veggies...always a fave



baby potatoes with olive, salt & pepper, on the grill mat

avocado toast with plum tomatoes & balsamic reduction 

chicken salad with pepper jelly on ciabatta
hodge lodge...jazzed up with some smoked salmon

fish tacos...well at least the fish part

maple and pepper smoked salmon...smoked again over the fire


olive oil, salt and pepper, grill basket. simple

flank steak with chimichurri sauce



saw these in a North Carolina grocery store and just had to take a photo

the grill sheet test

hard to beat for a simple meal



great local corn


a quick snack by the waters edge

love a good burger...does anything else say summer as well...

B.C. Salmon Rub. a great product, sweet, with a hint of heat

grilled olive oil tossed baby potatoes with salt & pepper....mmmm

bacon cheddar sausages with greek pasta salad

2016 starting off the season the right way....


za...

coated with a rub called BC Salmon Rub. Brown sugar based, with a nice kick of heat.

plated with a nice arugula, quinoa  & feta salad

simple and quick...

a repeat...must have been good!

nice flavour

Glebe Meat Market chicken kabobs. great chunks of chicken wrapped in yummy bacon.

a fajita stir-fry. I recall this was a rainy ugly evening, so we changed the plan from a BBQ meal to a stir fry

Brum's...an Ottawa Valley dairy. Rich and creamy. I remember stopping at the Union Star Cheese Factory outside of Douglas on the way up to our cottage. We would pick up a bag of super fresh squeaky cheese curds, and a pint of this stuff.  It would be gone in a flash...sooooo good!

a serious slash of bacon n the grill

OK...I admit it...this was staged.

za on the Q. we have since ditched using the griddle tray and plop them right on the grill. low and slow.

really...who doesn't love a good pickled egg???

doggies on the Q...all dressed and washed down with a nice Sleeman's draught


rib steak and basket tossed potatoes



definitely hoppy



double smoked salmon, with ciabatta and cream cheese. it was a great little snack on an otherwise dull cloudy day

chunks of chicken on a pesto base

mushrooms & onions tried with a little olive oil & balsamic, pesto base, then brie slices melted on top


there are more and more seriously bizarre beer cans out there now. some are quite the adventure to read

perhaps our favourite...rib steak with roquefort butter

sliced strip loin, bed of onions & mushrooms fried with dijon mustard, laid out on a toasted ciabatta bun


pesto base, roasted red peppers, chorizo sausage

tunes...and a Mill St.


Barking Squirrel Lager...the squirrel was doing more than barking in that beer


a nice place setting...other than that plastic container of whatever is in there.


love the Brum's...I buy it whenever I see it!

my steak looks bigger than Dale's head!

can't really remember what was on this salmon

another repeat...


salmon with a mayo based garlic dijon sauce



and of course, a classic burger...with what looks like a deli salad


stir fry veggies with goats cheese and Ted Reader bone dust rub. Check that guy out, he's all about the BBQ

in the top 2 fish and chips we have ever eaten...little place in PEI, near Stanhope N.P. right on the wharf. simply unbelievably good

if you are ever in PEI...this is a must visit!!!

home made PEI blueberry pie...massive, and massively good

    1. I'm not sure she would be able to tear that task away from me...or even want to:)
      Wandering the LCBO beer fridge is a job before any weekend away.
