Campfire dough

One thing I love about camping is the cooking outside. We mostly cook our dinner on the campfire, but for breakfast we have a camping stove.
On our last trip, I prepared dough for campfire breadsticks. I accidentally made way too much so we had leftover dough in the morning - it worked out perfectly as a sort of camping pancake :D

1 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup water

Mix all the ingredients and store in a plastic bag until it's time to wrap it around a stick or to fry it as a pancake.

Braised French Onion Chicken with Gruyère

We recently signed up for a fruit and vegetable box that is delivered to our door every two weeks.
The last box contained a whole bunch of onions so I decided to make a dish that I made once before and really enjoyed: Braised French Onion Chicken with Gruyère!
It takes a bit of time to make, but it is very yummy.

This time, I also made mushrooms in a cream and brandy sauce to go with the chicken:

Ingredients

Butter
Mushrooms
Onions
1/2 cup cream
2 tbsp cognac or brandy
Corn starch
Salt
Pepper

Melt the butter in a pan, add onions and fry until translucent. Cut the mushrooms into halves or thick slices and add them to the onions. Fry for two minutes. Add the cream and brandy, and increase the heat. Simmer until the liquid is reduced. Add cornstarch to thicken the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

I served the chicken and mushrooms with potatoes. Yum!
