Do It All Mamma

Hello all! I am a mom to three very active teenagers, two energetic mini-schnauzers, and one grumpy kitty. Some days it feels impossible to work all day, taxi kids around, prepare a meal, squeeze in a workout, walk the dog, AND tackle the additional 327 items on your to-do list! I would love to share my successes and failures in hopes of making your day-to-day life a little easier – from recipes to vacations and everything in between!

Hobo Dinner Recipe – Quick and Easy

Hobo Dinner Recipe

Here is a Hobo dinner recipe that is a quick and easy weeknight meal, with minimal clean up!   I’ve used a variety to ingredients to make them a little different every time.  We’ve made them in the oven, on the grill, and over the campfire!  My boys can eat a lot of food, so this recipe feeds three of us.  Of course this recipe is easily customized to taste exactly how you’d like.
