Cool Supper for a Hot Night

Cram-berry Turkey Wraps
Crammed with a juicy filling, this cold supper is perfect for summer campouts. Buy
finely shredded lettuce in the deli section, or cut your own.

4 large flour tortillas
Dijon-style mustard
Small can (8 ounces) whole cranberry sauce
10-ounce can chunk turkey, broken up
½ cup chopped nuts
½ cup grated cheese
2 cups angelhair shredded lettuce

Set out tortillas and spread with mustard. In a bowl mash cranberry sauce with
turkey, turkey liquid, walnuts and grated cheese. Make a strip of filling down the center of
each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, roll up, cut in half and fasten with toothpicks.
Place seam side down on serving plates. Serves 4. Pass out lollipops and set out for an after-
supper nature walk.

Cracker Salad Has Goodness and Crunch


Huggin’ Molly’s Georgia Cracker Salad
Abbeville, Alabama is worth a special camping trip. Have lunch at Huggin’ Molly’s http://www.hugginmollys.com/family.html. They credit their Georgia Cracker Salad recipe to Paula Dean, author of The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook.

1 sleeve saltine crackers
Large tomato, finely chopped
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped
Crush crackers. Mix all ingredients together and serve immediately. “When we say
immediately, we mean immediately,” advise the servers at Huggin’ Molly’s. Otherwise the salad loses its texture contrast.
Cook's note: to be honest this salad is mostly crackers and mayonnaise, so I lighten it by using half fat-free yogurt and half mayonnaise, then add more egg and tomato.

Fudgemint Dump Cake
This dump cake has been around for ages but it takes on a new look when you use mint patties on top. To save time in camp, measure dry ingredients into zip-top bags at home. My guess is you’ll be making this cake often so bring a bunch of the dry mixes.
Dry ingredients:
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup sugar
Pour dry ingredients into an 8-inch square pan and stir in wet ingredients just until evenly mixed. You’ll need
Wet ingredients
1 cup cold water
1/3 cup salad oil
1 tablespoon vinegar
You’ll also need a box of chocolate-covered mint patties.
Bake cake at 350 degrees 20-30 minutes or until the top is springy to the touch. Quickly arrange a single layer of chocolate-covered mint patties atop the hot cake let stand until the mints are soft and spreadable. Then swirl evenly over the cake to create a marble pattern. Let cool completely, then cut into squares.
