The spring is well underway, but here in Alberta we’re having an unusually beautiful season and it really feels like summer out there {I didn’t jinx anything, I hope}. We’re already well used to the backyard, deck, BBQing and even camping!Â
We’ve spent the last 2 weekends out at our creek property camping, it’s sure to be a summer of outdoor fun. Just pack some clothes and a cooler of perishable food and off we go!
Yet, to make sure I’m making the most of my relax-time out at the creek, I’m organizing my chaos {heh} to ensure smooth sailing while there.
For instance, I’m meal planning our camping time, to make sure we bring enough food but not too much. Also, by prepping as much as I can before we go, it means less time I have cooking while out there.
This is good practice for me, since meal planning in the past has never gone well. Perhaps after a summer of practice, I’ll be a meal planning superstar by Fall {fingers crossed}!
This past weekend I decided on Chicken legs, Great Canadian Potato Salad and peas for dinner. So on Friday I made the salad so that I didn’t have to make it while there.
Great Canadian Potato Salad is delicious, was the perfect meal to take for the weekend and is a side that I will make again {for our BBQ dinners or good for taking along to a potluck}.
I love that I sat back with a drink by the fire while hubby took the reins on the BBQ – yes, making ahead was a huge hit in so many ways!
