I have Reserved the Camping Lodge, so I will have electricity. I don't really tent camp anymore, unless I really have to. I have been to this KOA in the past, and brought my George Foreman with me. I just enjoy getting away from the City and getting loose. I will Be Posting the Menu I Will Use on this trip, and Go through My Thought Process on how I came up with it. On the bottom of this Page is a form that can be filled out giving Me, Your Camping Ideas or Experiences. I will be arriving in Lena, IL on a Tuesday and leaving on a Friday.
It's about 2 Hours from Chicago, IL. The Menu I am creating will
start with Tuesday Lunch and
end with Friday Breakfast. Tuesday Lunch / Homemade Hot Dogs, Relish, Cole Slaw, and Potato Chips. (Easy to prepare while unpacking and setting up the Lodge to accommodate myself and the dog.) Dinner / Delmonico Steaks, Marinated in Herb and Garlic Marinade, Baked
Potato, Broccoli, and Garlic Bread.
Now That I'm Here, I can cook like if I were at home. Wednesday Breakfast / Scrambled Eggs, Sausage, and Toast. Along with Milk and OJ. Lunch / Brats, Boiled in Beer and Onions, along with Potato Salad and Sauer Kraut. Dinner / Veal Rib Chops, Marinating in Honey Dijon Marinade, Mashed Potatoes, Garlic Bread, Grilled Vidalia Onions, and Cauliflower. Thursday Breakfast / Cheese Omelet, Sausage, and Toast. Along with Milk and OJ. Lunch / Italian Sausage, Pasta, and Garlic Bread Dinner / Porterhouse Steaks, Oven Brown Potatoes, Garlic Bread, and Corn on the Cob. Friday Breakfast / Eggs, over Easy, Pancakes, and Sausage. Lunch / Will be eaten on the road so I can be home by 2 PM. I can always change my menu as long as I bring the ingredients with me. When I go out of town camping, I try to bring everything with me. Even if I have to I get Ice twice a day (that's if I tent camp). I always have two coolers, one for food and one for beverages. Shopping List This is were I go through my Menu and create a Shopping List of Items needed to make this trip a simple trip.
