Alright here are some that we like:
Banana Boats
You slice the banana lengthwise while it is still pealed. Open it up and
stuff it full of mini marshmellows and chocolate chips. Then wrap it up in
aluminum foil and put it in the fire so everything can melt together. Take
it out of the fire and eat it warm. It doesn't look very good but it tastes
great!
Peachy Keens
In a ziplock bag place some canned peaches, graham crackers, and cool whip.
Seal the bag and squish it all together. EAt it out of the bag with a spoon
or just turn the bag inside out and lick it.
Pita Pizzas
Inside a pita pocket put tomato sauce, cheese, and any pizza toppings you
want. Wrap it in aluminum foil and put in the fire or charcoals. (I really
like things in aluminim foil).
Taco Salad in a Bag
Take a little bag of Fritos. Add cooked ground beef, cheese, lettuce, and
tomatoes. Hold on to the top and shake it up. Open it back up and you can
eat right out of the bag. I suppose you could also do it with a big bag to
make it for more than one person.
Also in aluminum foil you can make schikabobs (sp?) and foil dinners. You
just add what you want (potatoes, other vegetables, meat) wrap it up and
throw it in the fire.
When we go camping, we do foil pack dinners a lot. The meat is usually
chicken since all the girls will eat it. One of the leaders cooks the
chicken before we go without any spices or salt. At camp, each girl is given
a piece of aluminum foil. She places a piece of chicken, some canned white
potatoes and whatever vegetable they picked for the trip on the foil. Then
she can add butter and whatever spices she wants, folds and seals the
aluminum foil into a packet and places it on hot coals to heat it up. We do
it this way, so everyone has a meal they like and will eat. Clean-up is a
breeze too. Last time, we took box ovens along and made cresent rolls and
brownies to fill out the dinner.
There are many different ways to make these. This is how my troop does them.
1. Put a large pot of water on to boil. The pot needs to be full and kept full during the entire cooking time, so add more as needed. You will also need hot mitts and a wooden mixing spoon near the cooking area.
2. Mix your eggs with a little water and salt and pepper if desired. I use about a tablespoon of water for 12 eggs. (The water evaporates when the eggs cook and makes them fluffier)
3. Have your add ins in separate bowls along the table. Chopped sausage or bacon, ham works well too. Onions, green peppers, shredded cheese what ever you would put into an omelet.
4. Use the pint sized freezer weight zipper bags, use a permanent marker to put the names on the bags before filling. Put names close to the top of the bag..
5. Put some egg mix and you other fixings into the bag. Zip closed. Make sure the bag is closed tight.
6. Put closed bag into the hot water. The bag will sink just a little at first. As the contents heat up the bag will balloon up. Do not open until done.
7. As the contents cook you will want to use the wooden spoon to push the bag under the water a couple of times. This just heats things up faster.
8. As the contents cook you will also want to remove the bag with the hot mitt and squish the contents together and mix them up a little to make sure all the egg gets cooked.
9. The omelets are done when the eggs look dry and they are pulling away from the inside of the bag.
10. Open the bag carefully and dump onto you plate to eat.
36 lemons
6 c. sugar
6 trays of ice cubes
36 c. water
Mix lemon juice and sugar. Add ice and water.
Sheepherder's Stew prepared by Carol
1 pound ground beef
1/2 t. salt
4 diced raw potatoes
carrots (2 to 3 peeled and diced)
1/2 diced onion
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1/2 soup can milk
Brown ground beef in dutch oven over fire. Add rest of ingredients. Cook over low heat until vegetables and meat are tender (25 minutes). If desired, drain and add: 1 can green beans and 1 can liquid-packed corn. Cook an additional 10 minutes to heat vegetables. Serves 6-8. EXCELLENT!!!
Cooking Inside an Orange
When cooking inside an orange, use an orange with a thick skin because it's easier to remove the meat from the orange. To prepare the orange, cut it in half and place your fingers between the meat of the orange and the skin. Slide your fingers back and forth to loosen and separate the meat from the skin. A spoon can also be used to remove the meat of the orange. Eggs, muffins, or cakes cook well in the shell. With cakes and muffins, fill the shell 2/3rds full of batter. Place the shell on a square piee of heavy-duty foil, bringing the foil up around the orange and coming together at the top of the orange. Leave enough room for the food to rise in the shell. Place it on the hot coals for 10 minutes or until the food is cooked.
Grease 2 bundt pans or put in one large dutch oven. Cut the biscuits in fourths. Roll each in the margarine and then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or until done. Guaranteed to be gone in a snap! EXCELLENT!!!
Banana Boats
Cut a wedge-shaped section out of the length of a banana. Place marshmallows and chocolate chips or pieces of chocolate bars into the cavity of the banana. Wrap the banana boat in foil and heat on fire for 4-6 minutes. Delicious!!
Jackie's Dump Cake
1 white cake mix
1/4 lb. margarine
1-15 oz. can of crushed pineapple
1-20 oz. can cherry pie filling
Line a dutch oven with foil (we have learned the HARD way!). Pour in pineapple and cherry pie filling in the bottom. Sprinkle the cake mix on top of this. Slice butter over the top of this. Place coals on top and bottom of dutch oven. Bake for 30-45 minutes. WONDERFUL!!
Rabbit Food
3 c. Rice Chex
3 c. Corn Chex
3 c. Cheerios
2 c. pretzel sticks
2 c. peanuts
2 c. M&M's
1 lb. almond bark
Mix first six ingredients together. Melt almond bark. Pour over mixture and toss. Stores well in ziploc bags.

Over the last 16 years I have attended several Mystery Dinners and my troops have hosted three. There are many ways to do a Mystery Meals, so try not to get "stuck" on only one way. Just gather ideas and re-create your own method with your girls.
Starting with a "theme" makes the planning fun.
One year we did a "Beach Boys" theme. Our main course was hot dogs and hamburgers. We coded the hot dog as a "surfer" and the bun as a "surf board" "sunscreen" was the condiments, "beach towel" was a napkin etc.
One year we did a "60's" theme. Our main course was taco salad and we coded it as "Woodstock", "flower power" was dessert - ice cream topped with crushed Oreo cookies and a plastic flower on top. Many of the food items and utensils were singing groups of that time.
One year we did a "Crazy Cartoon Dinner" theme. Our main course was pizza and we coded it as "Speedy Gozalas." "Sylvester" was the napkin because he spits when he talks.
Our girls had a great time planning the theme, planning the menus, making decorations, and serving the meals.
Our Troops usually did this event for 6th graders bridging to Cadettes, at the Service Unit or Association Level.
