Food Storage Recipe - Hobo Breakfast

Hobo Breakfast. Foil Packet for a great meal. Great for camping or just grilling out in your backyard.

NEED

 ● 3 sliced scallions

 ● 1 packet (16 oz.) thawed frozen shredded hash browns 

● ¼ cup olive oil 

● 1 tsp. salt 

● ½ tsp. black pepper 

● 3 cups washed baby spinach 

● 6 eggs

 ● ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese 

Let’s Cook: Cut 12 strips of Foil (12” x 16”) and 6 strips of parchment paper of the same size. 

Put each sheet of parchment paper on top of a piece of Foil.

 In a mixing bowl, combine your potatoes, sausage, salt, pepper, oil, and scallions together.

 Portion the mixture out between the six pieces of parchment paper, keeping the mixture in the center of each piece of paper. 

Top each ingredient pile with another sheet of Foil and wrap the edges of the foil pieces together to form a foil packet.

 Put your closed foil packets on top of your hot coals of the campfire or on top of your grill. Cook for 5 minutes. 

 Check the ingredients in one foil packet to see if they are cooked through.

 If they aren’t cooked through, continue to cook in 5-minute increments until done.

 When done, remove the packets from the coals or grill and put them onto a plate so that you can open them.

 Once open, divide your spinach between each packet and crack one egg on top of each pile of spinach. 

Season each egg with salt and pepper before sealing each packet and returning to the hot coals or grill. Cook for 5 minutes or until the egg is cooked through.

 Once your egg is cooked, plate each opened packet and sprinkle with cheese!

Add a little kick to this recipe by adding chopped jalapenos to your hash browns and using pepper jack cheese. Alternately, you can just use southwestern seasoned hash browns!

Small Lot Gardening

 

Gardening in a small lot can present a unique set of challenges, but with a little creativity and planning, it is possible to create a beautiful and functional outdoor space. In this article, we will explore some tips and strategies for making the most of limited space in your garden. Garden Seed Variety Pack

One of the first things to consider when gardening in a small lot is maximizing vertical space. By using trellises, arbors, and hanging planters, you can grow a wide variety of plants without taking up valuable ground space. Climbing plants like vines, beans, and tomatoes are perfect for vertical gardens and can add a lush, green backdrop to your outdoor space.

Another key strategy for gardening in a small lot is to choose plants that are well-suited to compact spaces. Dwarf varieties of fruit trees, such as compact apple or pear trees, can provide plenty of fresh fruit without taking up too much room. Similarly, compact vegetable varieties like bush beans, cherry tomatoes, and baby carrots are perfect for small gardens.

When planning your garden layout, consider creating distinct planting areas for different types of plants. For example, you could designate one area for herbs, another for vegetables, and a third for flowers. This will help keep your garden organized and visually appealing, even in a small space.

It's also important to make the most of any available sunlight in your small lot. Positioning raised beds or containers in sunny spots and trimming back any overhanging branches can help ensure that your plants receive adequate sunlight for healthy growth.

In addition to plants, don't forget to include other elements in your small lot garden to create a welcoming outdoor space. Consider adding seating areas, water features, or decorative elements like trellises or garden art to make your garden a relaxing and enjoyable place to spend time.

Overall, gardening in a small lot may require some creativity and careful planning, but with the right strategies, you can create a beautiful and productive outdoor space. By maximizing vertical space, choosing compact plant varieties, and incorporating a variety of elements into your garden design, you can make the most of limited space and enjoy the beauty of nature right outside your door.
