Surrealette's Vernal Glamping Trip Menu

I intend to bake everything from scratch myself and if possible I would also like to make the butter and marshmallows by hand as well.  I looked into making graham crackers but I decided it wasn't going to be worth the effort.  I will also be putting the salad dressing and garlic aioli together, though I imagine they won't be "from scratch" exactly.  I will also pick up extra cheese and some crackers for any extra snacking that might occur.  Though since we plan on going out to lunch on Saturday I don't think anyone will have a chance to get hungry in between meals.  I have already gathered most of my recipes, two from Grandma Rosie and a few from Pinterest.  I will be testing a few of the new recipes over the next three weeks.
