Campfire Breakfast Sausage Wraps

On last weekend's camping trip, we discovered another new recipe that's perfect for the campfire, and it's super easy! The kids loved cooking their own breakfast. This would also work well with hot dogs!

Ingredients
1 package Brown 'n Serve Sausage links
1 can biscuit dough or crescent rolls

Directions

• Put a breakfast sausage on a stick.
• Wrap with dough.
• Cook over the fire until dough is nicely browned, and eat!

Spaghetti & Meatballs (The Minimal Prep Version)

Here's yet another of my minimal prep, uber cheap dinners for nights when we have a lot going on, but still want to take the time to sit at the table together. Plus, its one of Abby and Carson's favorite meals. Sometimes, I do it all homemade, but I like to have these things on hand for the nights when I don't have the time to make meatballs and sauce.

Ingredients
Whole wheat pasta (I like Market Pantry at Target) ($1)
1 jar pasta sauce (I like Market Pantry at Target) ($1.32)
1/2-1 bag Fully Cooked Italian Meatballs (Beef or Turkey) from HEB ($2.98)

1 bag steamable vegetables (green beans or broccoli) or an easy salad ($2 or less)

Directions
Follow package instructions.

P.S. The above photo is from our Back to School Dinner in 2010, and annual tradition in our house, and no, my son is not drinking wine. It's sparkling grape juice!
