Keener Recipes- Anya Sachs

Keeners can be a magical place. You kayak all day, you're in a beautiful place, and the food is amazing. However, at Keeners, you are expected to make your own breakfast. But let's face it, a few teens living in the wilderness with access to a kitchen that has limited ingredients and knowledge aren't about to whip up some amazing MasterChef meal. In fact, sometimes trying to cook ends up in disaster. Last year my cabin mates decided to make brownies. They turned the oven on, however, it turned out that there were a few things being stored inside the oven that they failed to notice. In short, there was a fire, however, they did finish making their brownies. Or when I tried to make a grilled cheese in a microwave just a few days ago. I propped it up on a cup so the bread underneath didn't get soggy. It didn't end very well. So yesterday I took it upon myself to make a successful grilled cheese. In a pan. With only a little bit of help from 3 girls, I was able to make an actually tasty grilled cheese for breakfast. Some of my other favorite keener recipes include microwavable bacon. It's quick and easy and doesn't require a lot of smarts to make. Bacon is and forever will be a keener classic. Another keener favourite is Nutella. Nutella is a magical ingredient that has the power to substitute a whole meal, strawberries become ten times better when dipped in it, the possibilities are endless. I am currently eating an absolutely amazing breakfast burrito made by the amazing Cat Hardman. All in all, coming to Keeners will help you become a better kayaker, more responsible, and independent. It will also teach you some of the basics of cooking. Who knows? Maybe next year I'll be able to make breakfast burritos.
