Camping Breakfasts

We went camping last weekend. This was the first time we've been tent camping in probably 5 years. In the past, I've always opted for the little boxes of cereal as a camping treat. This year, we had big breakfasts.

A couple days before we left, I mixed up a bunch of eggs in the blender and put them in a ziploc bag in meal size portions. Then, I put that ziploc along with a mealsize portion of bacon and froze them flat. They were thawed by the time I needed them, and they didn't take up much space in the cooler. It worked great. I should also mention that cut up leftover french fries cooked in the bacon fat a little before adding the eggs lended a nice hash brown feel to the breakfast.

The original plan was to have pancakes with the eggs and bacon, but I just couldn't get myself to prepare that much. (I should mention here that I tend to get irrationally stressed out when planning for camping trips - hence the 5 year gap since our last trip) Instead, we had cinnamon rolls, Trenary Toast, and donuts on respective days. Not exactly healthy, but better than little boxes of cereal. Maybe we'll do pancakes on the next trip.
