While camping at Tamihi Creek campground we visited Chilliwack Lake. Chilliwack Lake is found at the end of Chilliwack Lake Rd in Chilliwack, BC, Canada. The lake is pristine, clear, and surrounded by mountains. At this time of year there is still snow on the mountain peaks making it even more gorgeous! The water was so calm, only disturbed by the gentle breeze that rippled the surface. The only sounds we could hear were our own voices - total peace.
Camping in BC during the spring is, in our opinion, the best time to camp if you’re trying to avoid crowds. The weather is getting warmer, there aren’t any fire bans yet (this commonly happens in the summer drought months), and you can easily get a campsite without a reservation.
On this trip, we had our first campfire of the season. In our house, you can’t let a perfectly good campfire go to waste without cooking something on it. So that’s exactly what we did.
In fact, we cooked an entire Indian dinner on ours! We brought our favorite ready-made curries from the grocery store so all we had to do was boil the packs in water. The lid of our cast iron pot doubles as a skillet with which we were able to reheat the rice we brought and cook the flatbreads, called parathas.
On our second night, we reheated pizza leftover from making it at home. Although, we have intentions this season to try cooking pizza from scratch on the campfire with our pizza stone. We’ll see how it turns out!
Experimenting with food is something we like to do. We’ve now mastered s’more making! I know what you’re thinking: it can’t be that difficult. Trust us, getting the perfect combination of textures where the marshmallow is crisp on the outside, melty on the inside and the chocolate is soft and on the verge of melting is harder than you might think. I’m not going to go into the details, you’ll just have to watch our video to learn the secrets to the ultimate classic s’more. We hope you’ll give it a try!
Until next time, keep on living the life you’ve imagined!
Me, Jay & Benny
