Are you going camping this summer! I am! Don’t get stuck eating junk in the woods – here are some ideas for a healthy camping trip.
Campfire Hotdog Octopus

It’s summertime, and I love camp fires! Roasting hot dogs is fun, but make sure to buy nitrate-free, organic hot dogs. Here is a really fun way to roast a hot dog, and you don’t need the bun!

Ingredients
- Nitrate-free hot dogs or chicken sausages
- Hot dog stick
- Preparation
Instructions
- Using a knife, slice the bottom half of the hot dog lengthwise. Repeat until you have 8 "legs."
- Poke the hot dog stick through the "head" of the octopus so the octopus is standing vertical when placed over the fire.
- Keep the octopus vertical. The legs will start to curl as they cook. Once the legs are cooked enough that they are fairly firm, you can turn the octopus upside down to cook its head.

Teriyaki Chicken Lettuce Wrap

This is one of my favorites! It's a huge hit with my family too. Don't skip the miso sauce - I know it's weird but it's really delicious!
Print
Ingredients
- Chicken thigh or breast, cut into 2-inch cubes
- Teriyaki sauce, enough to cover the chicken in a plastic bag (make sure it has no MSG or artificial colors or flavors!)
For the dressing
- 1 T red miso paste
- 1 T water
- 1/2 t soy sauce
- 1 t lemon juice
For the salted cucumbers
- 1 english cucumber
- 1 t salt
- Bibb lettuce
- Cooked brown rice (optional)
- Carrot shavings (you can use a potato peeler), for color and garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken in a plastic bag with the teriyaki sauce for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Mix the dressing ingredients until the miso is dissolved.
- Make a campfire, and roast the chicken either on a stick, or in a grilling basket.
- While the chicken is roasting, slice the cucumbers thin using a mandolin (this could be done ahead of time as well.) Sprinkle the salt on the cucumbers, and toss to distribute evenly. Let the cucumbers sit for a half hour. Squeeze the water out of the cucumbers.
- To assemble, place some rice and a few pieces of chicken in your bibb lettuce, top with some crunchy cucumber, carrot shavings, and a drizzle of the miso sauce. Yummy!
