Coach-Net BBQ Recipe Contest

There are those who walk among us with super-human capabilities. They are the magical masters of the grill. They have the ability to make people’s mouths water with the mere sight of their efforts. They can draw neighbors from great distances with just the smell of smoke. Somehow they have found the secret to the barbecue.

Perhaps it is genetic, handed down in some mysterious family BBQ DNA. There are those of us who hope it is a learned skill, and continue to try to achieve a semblance of barbecue success. Despite all of our efforts, the grill masters have reached a level of taste, texture, and flavor that exceed the rest.

If you have achieved a level where friends, relatives, and neighbors gather to taste your barbecue creations, we are looking for you! We are in search of the best barbecue recipes we can find and are willing to reward you for your efforts. We are encouraging those with this special talent to enter our first ever BBQ Recipe Contest. The grand prize? A $200 grilling package!

Yes, we know that those who imitate your recipe will not achieve your greatness. There is a talent that cannot be shared by the mere sharing of a recipe. It will however, serve to inspire those who are searching for greatness to continue trying.

So what do you say? Are you the owner of such a recipe? Do you know someone who is an exceptional master of the grill? You have until July 31st to enter your best barbecue recipe, or encourage someone you know to do so. Are you a specialist in pork, chicken, beef or something else? Choose your weapon and send your recipe to us. We love pictures but they are not a requirement. The rules are loose so if you can cook it on a grill and it is tasty, send that recipe to us. We look forward to sharing your culinary concoctions and awarding our grand prize!

To get you started thinking about recipes, here’s a quick and easy grilling marinade for virtually any meat using 3 simple ingredients:

Simply mix an 8-ounce bottle of red French dressing, a 10-ounce jar of apricot preserves and a single envelope of dry onion soup mix. Marinate your meat with the mixture in a large bowl for about an hour and get grilling!

One-Skillet Breakfast

This one- skillet breakfast recipe is sure to satisfy every member of your RV camping trip, and best of all- there will be very little cleanup!

You’ll need to collect these ingredients:

  • 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 clove of garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons of oil
  • 1/2 of a small onion (diced)
  • 1/2 or 1/3 pound of ground sausage
  • 5 eggs
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • 1/2 or 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

First, grab your skillet. You’ll want to use either a medium or large skillet, since this recipe will “grow” as it cooks.

Put the oil in your skillet and add the potatoes, garlic, and onion. You will want to cook these until the potatoes are browned and fried.

Next, add sausage and brown it, making sure to break it into pieces as you cook.

Once the sausage has cooked, add your eggs. If you want to make this recipe larger, add two eggs per extra person and an additional egg to add to the bulk.

Beat eggs lightly with fork and stir them into mixture. Cover skillet and allow eggs to cook and set. You don’t want to stir the mix at all during this stage of the recipe.

Add the cheese and replace cover long enough for the cheese to melt.

Finally, serve the meal. Add salsa and sour cream as garnishes if you’d like. ENJOY!

This is a simple, quick and pocket friendly meal! Do you have breakfast recipes that are similar? Please share your ideas and recipes with us in the comment box below. Happy Camping!




 

Unique Picnic Recipes You’re Sure To Enjoy

Keeping the menu varied on a picnic can be tough, so here are some ideas that will help you to have a great picnic that really hits the spot.

Chili Dog Fries

If you’re tired of plain old hot dogs, try this meal on for size. Take some frozen french fries and cook them in the oven before your picnic. Get your favorite canned chili (or make your own), roast some hot dogs on the fire, and then slice them up and throw them on the fries. Pour the chili over the fries and dogs, and top with shredded cheddar, ketchup and mustard. This meal has a flavor that will remind you of childhood summers.

Potato Chip Chicken

What says summer like potato chips? If you want some lean protein, get some of your favorite potato chips and crush them up in a tray. Now take some egg wash, dip your chicken in it, and roll it in the potato chips. Roast that in the oven at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, make sure it’s fully cooked, and then serve with some potato salad for a great picnic main course.

Cool Veggie Wraps

Start with a wrap or tortilla (whole wheat, multigrain, and spinach are tasty and offer a low calorie option), spread mayonnaise, and cover that with a layer of corn, beans, sliced cucumber, and diced onion. Put some fresh lettuce on there, top with shredded Parmesan cheese, and roll it up. This is basically a salad in a wrap. You can grill the outside of the wrap to make it crispy if you like. Just make sure not to expose it to heat for more than the twenty seconds or so it takes to sear the outside of the wrap. This one goes great with a smoothie or a tall glass of lemonade and a handful of kettle cooked potato chips.

Recipe- Healthy Road Snacks

While we all climb aboard our Rvs for a great road adventure, more and more of us are concerned about healthy foods. What beverages do we stock? What are the healthiest meals to prepare? How do we make sure we are all eating at least somewhat healthy as we travel across the roadways of America?

We concern ourselves with these thoughts as we stock our RV with chips, dip, pretzels, popcorn and sodas.

Certainly, our main meals on the road are important. These are the times we take time to cook-out some barbecued chicken or cook up a big pot of pasta and garlic bread. There are things we can do to make these dinners healthier. But we may be missing a greater problem. Our snacks.

What about those snacks? You know the inevitable munchies that nag at you while you are driving or are between meals. Are there some healthy alternatives to chips, chocolate and pretzels? What is there to munch on besides nachos or cheese puffs?

Here are a few healthier suggestions for the road. Give them a chance before you dismiss them as a snack that your crew won’t accept.

Fruits

Bananas are a great source of potassium and can almost instantly restore energy to tired travelers. Grapes are easy to travel with and easy to eat on the road. Pack up some blueberries and strawberries and cut up some apple and peach splices for refreshing snacks that will give you an energy boost without compromising your family’s health.

Veggies

Vegetables can be bite-sized, healthy and fun. Chop up some baby carrots, small slices of green pepper, celery, and cucumber and add some creative dips. The dips may be ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, peanut butter, hot sauces or even mustard sauces. Give your family the chance to try something different and ask them their opinion. You may find some new “loves” for snacks. Don’t forget the veggies that may be a bit more “exotic” like eggplant or squash. Just don’t tell them ahead of time!

Bite Sized Sandwiches

No matter what type of sandwich you create, it can be much more enjoyable when cut in bite-sized pieces. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut in quarters, grilled cheese sandwiches cut in quarters and even tuna fish salad sandwiches cut in quarters can create fun snacks that provide energy and a great tasting snack. Give it a shot! Watch the difference cutting sandwiches into bite-sized pieces can make!

The fitness of your family is not the only thing to be concerned about on the road. Coach-Net can provide assurance against mechanical maladies along the way. You have too much invested to not have the security of Coach-Net. Learn more about how we can make sure every vehicle you have on your trip is covered.
