I'm doing a show this weekend in a gal's backyard so there won't be an oven or microwave available, not to mention a sink. Any suggestions?
 
I just messages you on the main board too. Making a trifle would be good. Or, you can make something like the cool veggie pizza (cook crescent roll base at home) Or A fruit pizza or a brownie pizza (cook cookie,brownie) at home.

Several ideas, none necessarily "outdoorsy" though.

1. Homemade Salsa and Guacamole
2. Pre-make the brownie cups and do Truffle Brownie Cups
3. Any trifle
4. Pre-make the poundcake and do the American Dream Torte from the All The Best cookbook.
5. Pre-cook the chicken and do Satay Chicken Pasta Salad
 
Does she have a solar oven? I can't live without mine... and no power required. I am kidding you know, most normal people don't have one...
 
do you have a hot plate? You could do the cheeseburger salad if you do.
