BLT Salad

I love BLTs  but I don't need the bread,so when I saw this recipe I was excited.

What you need 

Thick sliced bacon about one pound

Romaine lettuce 2 stalks sliced into bite size pieces

Tomatoes 3 large cut into bite size pieces

Miracle whip dressing 1 cup.

Mix everything together,top with the dressing mix it in right before serving.

It is so good

Grilling Fish

Have you ever tried to grill fish only to have it fall through the grate on the grill as your cooking. Well here is a great idea. It not only keeps the fish on top of the Grill but it also adds flavor. Place slices of Lemon on the Grill and place the fish on top. It's as easy as that. Then cook as usual.

4th of July Tee's

I know it's only May and 4th of July is about 6 weeks away but I like to plan ahead.Here is a cute and easy idea for a craft for the kids that I found on,where else Pinterest. I think I am going to have my grand children make these.

What you need

White T shirts

Red and navy blue fabric paint.

Never Camp without it

Fels Naptha Soap,my Mom used it all the time in the laundry,but did you know it is a great source to help stop poison ivy,oak or sumac.Wash with it and it helps cut the oils. The oils are what react to your skin,and causes the rash to spread. You can find it at the pharmacy or grocery store and it's very inexpensive.

Popcorn

Camping and popcorn well why not. All you need is some popcorn,oil,foil,salt,butter,a stick yes I said a stick and a fire.

Breakfast

Here's an easy breakfast while camping. I found these at the grocery store and since I'm always looking for simple things to cook when camping I thought I'd give them a try. You just add boiling water to the cup,put the lid back on and wait about 3 minutes,stir and eat. They come in several flavors and worked out very well. They would also be good for a family whose always in a hurry.
