hungry for camping? Here are helpful tips to make the camping experience better Written by Amanda Ament | Registered Dietitian at Heritage Health
Crisp air. Campfire. Burnt sugar. Pine. Sizzling bacon (turkey bacon if you’re me,
and yes, my friends tease me about this preference routinely). These are the hallmark smells that remind me of camping. They take me deep into the woods, sitting around a fire with friends and family, doing nothing and everything all at once. With camping comes the exciting prospect of … what do we get to eat?! Is this a “treat yo self” (shout out to Parks and Rec) moment, or an opportunity to eat especially healthfully so we have good energy to hike, bike, fish, and RAZR ride? Both, I say! Mix it up and keep it fun.
