Have you ever made Tin Foil Dinners over a campfire? If so, what is your favorite?
I haven’t tried it with tin foil, but I love salmon with lemon and herbs! Another tin foil recipe I recommend is just normal sweet potato 🙂
I love salmon and have never thought to do it over a fire! What a fabulous idea! Fire always adds a great flavor to any meal!
These recipes look so good but one’s really tempting for me.. Sweet and Sour Meatballs! There’s something special about it, I guess. YUMMY!
This is a perfect post for the summer. Love the idea of doing all this in foil over the campfire. This salmon looks amazing. Will have to give it a try!
I love salmon on the grill in tin foil too!
I’m loving all of these! I don’t camp, but I could make these at home. That salmon looks just perfect.
We do these foil packets weekly. I love the clean up! Thanks for the. Ew recipes!
That should be *new recipes!
We are going camping next weekend, I can’t wait to try some of these! Coming up with good camping food other than hotdogs can be rough!
I am not a camper, but let me tell you, after seeing your recipes, I am ready to pack up and head out. Especially the salmon recipe! Grilling is such a great way to save time and energy, and the tastes are amazing!
I love salmon made in foil. I’ve never tried the meatballs but I definitely will because it sounds delicious.
I haven’t cooked meals in foil in quite awhile. What an easy way to pack in the flavor, thanks for the reminder!
Where my husband is from they call them foil packs. I had never heard of cooking this way before, even though I went camping many times during my teen years. We did have an rv, so that may have been why cooking like this wasn’t what we did. However, he has fond memories of boy scouts and camping and dining with foil packs.
I would have never thought to make meatballs in a foil packet—great idea! That salmon also looks absolutely delicious.
this is a recipe post. I love good tips for easy summer dinners. thanks for the tips.
This is perfect for enjoying some yummy food during the summer. It is easier than standing by the stove and cooking in the heat.
Wow it all looks so good! I would love to try it all out! The salmon one looks the best I won’t lie. I am drooling just looking at it!
