Life at Vela on Camelback is always exciting, especially with Camelback Mountain right on our doorstep! Camelback Mountain is a great hiking destination with two trails to choose from, popular with tourists and locals alike. We have provided some easy recipes to inspire you for those of you planning a picnic.

Easy Recipes to try in Your Kitchen

1. Thai Fried Rice

This is one of the easy recipes that use your leftover rice. Fry the rice to keep it fresh and tasty. You can add chicken pieces or shrimp to complete to complement the rice.

2. Garlicky Roasted Cauliflower Pasta

Add more vegetables to your diet by stirring cauliflower into your pasta. Adding garlic adds flavor to the dish.

3. Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp

Shrimp is already tasty, but you can still take it p a notch. Cook your shrimp in garlic and let the flavor penetrate deep. Squeeze some lemon at the end to add a citric kick.

4. Air Fryer Pork Chops

You should include an air fryer in your kitchen appliance must-haves. It’s an easy way to cook your pork chops without deep-frying.

5. Rainbow kale salad

Add a carrot ginger dressing to the pot and mix evenly. Toss the kale but don’t overcook to create hearty veggies with vibrant coloring.

With its hiking trails, Camelback Mountain allows you to experience the raw beauty of the Arizona landscape. Make sure to pack your picnic lunch in advance of your day. You’ll need your energy for your big hike!

Three things to Pack for Your Delicious Picnic

Once you prepare your delicious picnic dish, you need to prepare adequately to ensure you have a great time. First, park a picnic mat to give yourself a nice clean space to sit. Second, don’t forget to pack utensils. It would not be pleasant if you couldn’t eat the food you prepared. Last but not least, pack a small garbage bag to keep your trash and leftover food. This will help you avoid littering the park.
