Go Eat Outside

"Fall inspires lots of plans: apple picking, haunted hayrides, hitting that swimming hole that's finally free of summer crowds. But when it comes down to it, celebrating September requires nothing more than emerging from an air conditioner-fueled haze to finally head outside. Sure, you could work your glutes on a miles-long backcountry hike. Or you could just log off and touch grass - yes, you can still do this after Labor Day."

"We're confirmed evangelists for the culinary pleasures of camping. Nothing beats the feeling of triumph that comes with achieving a delicious meal in a beautiful (if slightly more inconvenient) setting. The Great Eater Campout was a full-throated argument for going truly extra when it came to camping provisions. But sometimes the great outdoors should be greatly accessible, so we're taking a more relaxed approach to outdoor life this year."

"Read on for the easy recipes that upgrade outdoor dinners, our recommendations for the classic grab-and-go options, suggestions for convenient campsites, and culinary guides that bring simple, unique twists to your campsite kitchen - hwachae and cheese s'mores, anyone? Because campout cooking doesn't need to be complicated, just a touch unexpected."

September invites simple outdoor enjoyment, from apple picking to quiet walks, and often only requires stepping out of air-conditioned haze. Camping offers particular culinary rewards, as preparing a delicious meal outdoors delivers a strong sense of triumph even amid minor inconveniences. Camping provisions can be elaborate, but accessible, relaxed outdoor living works just as well. Easy recipes can upgrade outdoor dinners, complemented by reliable grab-and-go food and convenient campsite choices. Culinary guides can add small, unexpected touches—such as hwachae or cheese s'mores—to keep camp cooking approachable yet surprising. Campout cooking benefits from simplicity paired with creativity.
