Comments: | This is a recipe we use for dipping apple wedges. It's also good on ice cream, other fruits, or on the tip of a spoon. It's supposed to stay fresh in the refrigerator for four weeks, but I'll never know! (Sorry it's written in American; I'm too lazy to translate for the rest of you!) |

Bird Seed | |||

Non-Food Items Needed: | Plastic Baggie or some form of individual container Large bag or bowl for mixing Measuring cups |
||
Food Items Needed: | (per person):Toasted corn kernels Sunflower seeds (hulled) Chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, peanuts, or mix) Granola cereal (plain) Dried Fruit ( raisins, currents, banana chips, apple chips) |
||
At Home Prep: | |||
In Camp Prep / Cooking Instructions: | Each person will mix 1 Tbs. (as a troop 1 to 2 cups) of each ingredient into their bag. | ||
Serving Suggestions: | |||
Comments: | This "bird seed" trail mix is crunchy, fruity and really good!! The usual high fat content of trail mix (or gorp) is greatly reduced if you use a low-fat variety of granola. We used this for a Birthday party activity when the theme was Birds. The kids loved it (younger kids) and each finished their bag with no complaints about taste. |

Camp Rocky Creek Solar Nachos | |||
Preparation Method: | Direct sunlight | ||
Serves: | 1 | ||
Non-Food Items Needed: | a bowl plastic wrap |
||
Food Items Needed: | handful of nacho/tortilla chips fistful of shredded cheddar cheese |
||
At Home Prep: | |||
In Camp Prep / Cooking Instructions: | put chips in bowl, cheese on chips, cover with plastic wrap Set out in direct sunlight until cheese melts. |
||
Serving Suggestions: | Remove plastic and eat with fingers. Occasionally lick cheese off fingers | ||
Comments: | Foil will work but the girls like to watch the cheese melt. Don't use a plate and don't fill so much that the cheese sticks to the top rather than the chips You can line the bottom of the bowl with a piece of foil to speed up cooking and have less clean up. This works well for doing as an appetizer and then using the bowl for chili or something else. Diced tomatoes, onions, lettuce, beans or salsa can be added for additional nutritional value. Use low or no salt chips if desired. Regular cheese melts better than low-fat. These were made at our SU day camp by placing the bowls out in the middle of a closed off road that ran through the park. It was over 100 degrees that day and the girls made ice cream (more like pudding) while the cheese melted (about 15 minutes). To round out the meal, they each brought a specific piece of fruit and made fruit salad. |
