Clean Eating on Vacation: Camping

Hey guys! Hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day. I went camping for the first time and it was not that bad. I had a blast aside from freaking out in the tent at night and in the morning. And as always, I HATE BUGS!. But I love the outdoors. We took a crazy long hike up to North Point. It was beautiful up there but damn rocks, rocks and more rocks. I climbed up rocks, walked/balanced on rocks in the water and on the ground, saw LOTS of rock waterfalls. The pictures to do not do the place justice, it is such a beautiful woodland fairyland. You feel like you are some place else, until other hikers come around the bend.

After that hell of a hike we came back to our site, tired, sweaty, dirty, beat up and then it started to rain, hard. We took showers and when we were done the rain had stopped and we had some pita pizzas for dinner.

12 pita bread, (I made clean pita)
28oz can of plum tomato (I should have packed the crushed but this worked fine)
one onion, sliced
a bunch of baby bella mushrooms, sliced
5 big cloves garlic, unpeeled and whole
green pepper, sliced thin
parm cheese
dry oregano and basil
olive oil
aluminum foil
sea salt and black pepper


Set up your charcoal grill with coals in a pyramid shape and light them up. Wait 20-30min until the coals are gray. During this time cut up your veggies if you have not already. Then, rip pieces of foil. Place the garlic in one (this is for the sauce), peppers in one, etc Drizzle with olive oil in each foil packet. Fold the foil with the veggies in them. When coals are ready, scatter the coals and put the grate on. Place foil packets on the grill. Grill the veggies until nicely roasted. While you wait, open the tomatoes, and pour into your pot. I had to crush the whole tomatoes with a fork in the pot but that was fine because when it heated up it all blended well. If the garlic is ready at this time, put into the sauce and put on the grill with foil over the top. When all the veggies are ready pull them off the grill and start heating the pits on a iron pan over the grill. Assemble and enjoy!
