Baked Chicken Sandwiches-Freezer/camping meal

We made these last year from Once a Month Mom's recipe here to take camping.  They were a big hit and very yummy. 

This time, I added a little extra chicken and celery and stretched it into two bags.  Each bag has five 1/3 cup servings in it.  I will take the bag out of the freezer, put it into the camping fridge to defrost and then put the sandwiches together before cooking them.

(I will try to update after we eat these and I get a photo!)

Baked Chicken Sandwiches
(includes my updates)
Ingredients:
2-3 cups Chicken (or Turkey), cooked & cubed
6-8 ounces Cheese, shredded (I used a Mexican blend)
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
2-3 cups Celery, diced very small
2 Tablespoons Onion, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
10 Hamburger Buns

Directions:
In a bowl mix all ingredients (except buns). Season to taste. Divide into one or two freezer bags (I divided it up for two separate meals for us). Press out all of the air and double bag your bags to prevent freezer burn. You could bag it up along with five buns if you wanted to be fully prepared.  Freeze.

To prepare:
Defrost in the fridge. Add approximately 1/3 cup of chicken mixture onto each bun, wrap in aluminum foil, bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Alternatively, I bet you could cook these on a grill (covered).  Be sure to turn them often if using a grill!
Servings: 10 (or 5 per meal)

A merge and some camping photos

Well, I haven't been very good at keeping up with both of my blogs (this one and my family one) so I think I'll be merging the two together. I think putting everything here will work out better anyhow. (Plus, I think the younger members of the family might eventually be jealous that the other blog was named after Joshua!! LOL) Since this is "Scraps of My Life," you'll see a variety of posts about things that interest me...mostly my family, scrapbooking, crafts, and cooking.

For you scrappers, I have a new sketch coming this Friday on the Feeling Scrappy blog.

To kick off the merge of this site with my family blog, here are a few photos from our first camping trip of the year. We stayed in Bryce Canyon National Park and while the weather was less than ideal (mostly rainy!), we had a nice time.


Besides the scenery, we enjoyed the campfire, visiting with my parents (who met us at our campsite), playing, coloring, and taking little walks. The kiddos loved walking around, finding pine cones and other goodies and just basically being outside. (Ok, and looking for "deer poop" as Abby can now tell you...well, it sounds more like "dee poo.")


(Christine, I am sure you'll laugh about this!!) I have a list of campfire cooking ideas I want to try. This was an easy one that we'll definitely do again-"Hobo Popcorn." It was super easy and really good.
In the center of a 12" x12" square of Heavy Duty foil, add a TBS of oil (I used canola) and a TBS of popcorn kernels. Bring the corners up to twist together on the end of a stick and hold over the fire. When it starts to pop, shake it up a bit to keep from burning it. My pouch turned out perfectly but Jer got a little antsy with his, stuck it straight into the fire and burnt most of it. Carefully open it up and add some butter, salt or whatever else you like. Next time, I am determined to try biscuits on a stick. I started to cook one this trip but it started pouring on us right as I stuck it over the fire.


Of course, the morning we left, it was beautiful and sunny!

I hope you have a great day!!
