This past weekend we went camping. The kids love setting up the tents and sleeping out under the stars, especially when it's only 20 feet from our back door. Yep, we set up tents in our backyard and had a blast. With gas prices as high as they are and daddy still not feeling 100%, we decided to stay home and have as much fun as possible.

We set up tents, picked up a small grill and made the most of our own surroundings. The kids favorite part was toasting marshmallows and the 'surprise' on the second evening of popcorn cooked in a big tin foil bag hanging over the fire.

One thing I'm fond of is one-pot wonders and it's no different when we're grilling out. Foil packet grilling is simple and delicious. This chicken version is something we all like and is versatile as well.
