If you gotta measure or you’re squeamish, you’re not a camper! This is my late mother’s recipe. It is easy enough for campers and kids to fix. If you’re home with the kids, cook the dinners in the oven.
Give each child a large piece of aluminum foil—spread olive oil inside the foil to keep food from sticking. Hamburger patty, though stewing beef, steak, and sausage also work. Each child picks out their own veggies: potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, carrots. Salt, pepper. Wrap it and put in the fire or oven. Done when the meat is cooked.

Ooani in Kickapoo. Years ago, I read a book about Kickapoo life in the 1950’s. For any time of the day, they enjoyed cooking eggs. I fixed these with my sons while camping. Can be done at home. Use a large greased skillet: Add eggs. Now add whatever veggies etc. you have. Kids might enjoy adding their favorite leftovers to the eggs: (everything in small pieces) tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, bacon, celery, peppers, and so on. No milk, or you’ve got an omelet. (cheese is messy for campers)

Dump into baking dish and bake in a camp oven or place the dish into hot coals. (let me know how it works out, I am not that brave and live alone)
2 pounds pork sausage
Loaf bread
Dozen eggs
Dry mustard, salt, pepper
Quart milk
Crumbled up cheese

Pocahontas was a chief’s daughter, but she liked to cook.
Pungnough AKA corncob flour. Make a dough by combining corncob flour and water. The dough was formed into a flat cake and covered with leaves. Next, hot ashes were added on top of the leaves, which baked the cake. Talk about a smart use of resources! The dough could also be formed into balls and boiled as dumplings. [John Smith wrote in his journals that he didn’t like Pungnough] (she is said to be my great…great grandmother, but that is another story)

Pocahontas was a chief’s daughter, but she ate with everyone else.
Hobbenis AKA hopniss or groundnuts (early settlers likened them to turnips) are underground tubers similar to potatoes and cooked the same way. They were common along the east coast and were likely at the first Thanksgiving.
