Camping recipes

So I recently went on a camping trip and struggled with what to bring for sides. I'm generally trying to be healthier about food these days and the standard camping/picnic/potluck fare tends to land on the "less healthy" side of the scale. However, thanks to Epicurious.com (my hero!) I found these fantastic, easy, good-for-you recipes that held up all weekend and garnered rave reviews.

Black-bean and tomato quinoa

Grilled potato and squash salad with marjoram-lemon vinaigrette


Additionally, I pre-cooked chicken in this chili loquat glaze and made wraps for a quick lunch - so good! Just thought I'd share.
