My MIL's dh made the best food when we camped with them, stuff I never would have thought of for camping....fried chicken, spaghetti and meatballs, etc. I'll never think of campfire food the same again

I think outside the box. Last time we went I cooked a roast and potatoes with carrots.
I always make a really good cake. And the first day we always have a Ham and mac and cheese. I think its turned into a tradition. Someone always goes there early so they have to cook the ham.

bawoodsmall replied: ok lisa I am baking it right now. I am kinda wondering though because it is like super thick...not like normal cake consistency. I actually addded more oil because it was to dry. That was 1/2 cup oil right. We shall see in about an hour. I can always try again but I had my heart set on it...it sounded so yummy.

Be back in a hour with results.

bawoodsmall replied: Well somehow it did turn out. God must have had some say it that because let me tell you I was really afraid for it but it is so yummy. Thanks for the recipe lisa. It will be a staple in our house.

lisar replied:
Glad it turned out for you. I am actually cooking it tonight. I didnt wanna make it to early to take camping.

bawoodsmall replied: is it always that thick or was it a miracle it came out?

lisar replied:
From what I remember its normally thick. But I dont think its normally as thick as you are making it sound. I would have had to seen it KWIM? Now I just noticed that you only put 1/2 cup oil. Its 1 and a half cups of oil so that might have been the problem.

mommymommy replied: THat sounds so good!
Thank you for sharing the recipe!!
I will have to try it!

bawoodsmall replied:
Aha! I had a feeling it was the oil!!!!!! I will do it right next time. I am lucky it turned out. Both Aiden and Em were helping.
