Blackstone (Griddle) Weekend Camping Menu
Are you as passionate about your Blackstone Griddle as we are? We love experimenting with new meals on our griddle, so I thought there must be other campers who share our love for it and want to use it all weekend long. That's why I've put together our favorite recipes into this menu plan for you to enjoy! Even if you don't own a griddle, these meals are easy to recreate with other kitchen appliances.
If you're looking for a way to make your weekend camping more convenient, we highly recommend signing up for ButcherBox! Among the abundance of monthly subscriptions out there, this is the only one we use. Every month, we select the exact cuts of 100% grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, crate-free pork, and wild-caught seafood we want. It's all shipped to us in under 24 hours, and their bacon is incredible! We've done price comparisons and ButcherBox always comes out on top. If you'd like to try it for yourself, ButcherBox is offering $30 off your first box when you use our link. Then, come Friday, you can open your freezer and grab what you need!
We're also thrilled to introduce our weekend menu series! There are 15 weekends in the traditional summer camping season, and I've created a menu for each one of them. The menus range from traditional camping food to nutrition plans like Keto, and some focus on getting the most out of a single cooking tool, such as an Instant Pot or Blackstone griddle. Most of them utilize your entire RV kitchen, but there's even one for tent campers with limited resources, like a fridge.
Take a break this summer, spend more time with your family, and less time stressing about what to make to feed your crowd. Simply make your grocery list and shop. Best of all, each menu is customizable for your family! For instance, if I tell my neighborhood that tonight is spaghetti night, everyone will make their version of a spaghetti dinner, and they'll all be fantastic. That's the idea behind these plans. I provide a basic meal idea, such as grilled smoked sausage served with BBQ sauce and a side of roasted potatoes, and you can customize it with your family's favorite BBQ sauce, grandpa's famous roasted potatoes, and even add a salad to your meal. If you don't like one of my ideas, no problem! I've left you plenty of room to scratch it out and write in your own meal.
And if you're not familiar with one of my meal ideas, I've made sure you can easily Google search it and find a recipe. Who knows, it may become a new family favorite!
Each printable menu includes four breakfasts, four lunches, four afternoon snacks, and three (sometimes four) dinners. It's a complete Friday-Monday meal plan to rely on every weekend. Friday night dinners are designed to be more straightforward to allow for camp setup and chill time, while Monday breakfasts are easier than the others since you'll likely be packing up. Most lunches can be packed up and eaten wherever you're exploring. And because we love variety, there are very few repeats between all 15 weeks!
My hope is that your entire family will enjoy these meals, but most importantly, the time spent together while camping and getting away from the busyness of your everyday lives.
