Camping Trips are just around the corner

I see a lot of people starting to gear up for camping trips, I think that after the cold months we're all itching to get out there and enjoy warm weather and fresh air.

To get us all into the Camping Mood, I'm sharing a great recipe that I'm sure you'll all enjoy.

Camping Sausage-Potato Dinner

Ingredients

1 pkg. (32 ox) frozen Ore-Ida Potatoes O'Brien

1 pkg (16 ox.) small fully-cooked smoked sausage links

3/4 cup ranch salad dressing

1 1/4 cups Kraft Shredded Cheddar & Monterey

3 green onions, sliced

Directions

Preheat grill. Lightly coat four 18x12-inch pieces of heavy foil with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

In large bowl combine potatoes, sausage links, and salad dressing. Spoon mixture into centers of foil pieces. Bring up opposite edges of foil and seal with double fold. Fold remaining edges together to completely enclose, leaving space for steam to build.

Place foil packets on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat for 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender, turning several times. Carefully open packets. Sprinkle with cheese and green onions. Loosely close packets.

Let stand about 5 minutes or until cheese melts.

It's certainly been a while since I've updated my food blog, it just seems that I never have enough hours in the day for everything I want to get done.

Well get ready for it, because I found some time tonight and I'm throwing in a bunch of new recipes for you all, I hope you're ready for some yummy stuff.

So here is the first one, kids love pasta and they love pizza, so when I found this recipe I knew I had to add it to my menu. I'm going to try it next week, but wanted to share it with you all first.
