Chicken Adobo
A classic dish in the Philippines, garlicky and tasty adobo is ideal for the camping life because it makes a big batch to freeze or to serve on a second or third day. Vary it by serving with a different starch each day: rice today, noodles tomorrow, baked potatoes or buttered rolls after that. You decide on the size and type of chicken pieces. They'll all be luscious thanks to this combination of flavors.
10 meaty, bone-in chicken pieces
1/4 cup minced garlic
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 bay leaves
½ cup each apple cider vinegar and soy sauce
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Brown chicken pieces in hot oil with the garlic, taking care not to burn the garlic. When everything is golden, add the other ingredients. Cover, reduce heat and cook until chicken is done. Discard bay leaves. Season to taste and serve. Makes 10 portions.

Beanie Rice Salad
When you begin with an interesting rice mix you have a head start on a unique rice salad. Low-fat yogurt shaves fat calories while upping the calcium content. The raw vegetables can be varied if you wish: substitute celery, seeded cucumber, grated carrot, tomato and so on.
1 box or packet of cheese, broccoli and rice mix
15-ounce can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
15-ounce can of cut green beans, drained
Medium green bell pepper, seeded and diced
Medium red sweet pepper, seeded and diced
Medium sweet onion, peeled and diced
2 cartons, 8 ounces each, of lemon flavored yogurt
While the rice mix cooks according to package directions, prepare vegetables. Mix vegetables and rice. Fold the first carton of yogurt into a mixture, then add more yogurt to taste. Serve now or chilled, as is or on a bed of lettuce. Serves six as a main dish.
