Welcome to A Simple Thing Called Food. after many attempt at blogging, i found myself loosing interest very quickly, I realized that I wasn't writing about things that really matter to me on a daily basis. I love food, everything about food, I'm also a photographer and the two passion together makes for a great hobby. I started to write a recipe book about a year ago for family and friends to feel more connected even if we are miles apart. I thought maybe other people who love food as much as I do may also like this blog. so feel free to read or try new recipes, post comments on your results and tell me what your favorite thing is.

A simple thing called food camping edition

Even while camping, I enjoy creating food. I find it exciting to make and enjoyable to eat. It does not need to be complicated, just a bit of love mixed with butter, herbs and camp fire does the trick. Oh and let's not forget the entire roll of aluminium foil.

We went to Cape Breton Hideaway campsite in Nova Scotia, it was so beautiful. These recipes are part of what we ate during our adventure.

This is my partner Michael who made sure the fire behaved while we were cooking the pork tenderloin.

I can't take full credit for this roast because we bought it already seasoned from the grocery store. The reason I added it, was because it was amazing and simple. you wrap it up, place it in the camp fire coals and there you go. I brought an instant meat thermometer just to be safe.

These was the side we made with the pork tenderloin.
2 Small onions cut in wedges
4 Garlic cloves whole
1/2 a green bell pepper cut length wise
1 Carrot cut length wise
10 Mushrooms quartered
A handful of green beans (ends trimmed)
2 tbs Butter
3 tbs Canola oil
1 tbs of Garlic & Onion powder, Marjoram, Thyme.
Salt & Pepper to taste

Beef Skewers (We used what we had available)
Marinade:
1/4 C. Canola Oil - 1/4 C. Orange juice
2 tbs Garlic powder
2 tbs Black pepper

Add vegetable (Bell Pepper, Tomato, Small Potato, and Onion) on the skewers in between each piece of meat.
This was my favorite, because I love mushrooms.

1 Cup of mushrooms quartered
2 Cups of small white potato (pre-boiled ) then quartered
6 Strips of bacon cut in pieces (leftover pre-cooked from breakfast)
1 Onion finely sliced
2 tbs of Garlic & Onion powder, Marjoram, Thyme
2 tbs Butter & 3 tbs Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste

Everything was wrapped in multi layers of aluminium foil and cooked  either on the fire or in the fire. Enjoy your next camping trip, and if not, you can make this for your next BBQ.
