Meal Planning

- Each camper needs to bring their own plate, flatware, cups and beverages.

- Every meal will be family style, not individual. This means, you and anyone else who signs up for the same meal must coordinate together who is bringing what items, who is cooking it, and the necessary cooking utensils. If you have special dietary needs and are concerned about family style meals, it's ok. Karla will work with you so you can eat and also feel included.

- Please sign up for one meal in addition to Saturday night's Bacon Bite Night. Two-three people per meal, please fill-in where needed.

- If cooking isn't your "thing" then work with your team so you can help cover the cost of the ingredients.

- Feel free to use the discussion section to work out details of your meal.

- Suggestions from last year's BACONFEST: There was SO much food! Bacon Bite Night is really just one bite per person and there was WAY more than that. No one really complained about too much food though. It would be nice to have more fruit and vegetables. - Many pre-cooked their bacon and meals turned out to be super fast and simple. No one was fighting over grate space (and there was very little to begin with).

- We will eat bacon at every meal. In order to ensure our bacon happiness, the host has given guidelines for each meal:

Friday night - Pudgie Pie Pizzas Click Here for basic recipe

Saturday morning - Eggs, bacon, and other tasty breakfast goodies (fruit, muffins, bagels, etc)

Saturday lunch - BLTs & fixings

Saturday dinner - Bacon Bite Night! This is a chance to show off your bacon talents. This is a small plate tapas meal - think bite sized appetizers. We'd love for you to provide one bite of your dish for everyone in attendance. Please indicate on the sign-up sheet if you are bringing something savory or sweet. We'd hate to only have sweet desserts to eat or none at all.

Sunday breakfast -Pancakes, bacon and other tasty breakfast goodies (fruit, muffins, bagels, etc)

Bacon Contest: After Bacon Bite Night, you will have a chance to vote on your favorite savory bacon bite and your favorite sweet bacon bite. Winners will be announced at Sunday's breakfast.
