Using my RV oven

We went camping for the Memorial Day weekend and as it usually does, it rained.  I had plans to make rolls in my Dutch Oven, but it rained.  I also had plans to try and cook Pillsbury rolls in the pie irons, but it rained.  I had to improvise and decided to use my oven in the RV for the first time.  After a little negotiation with the pilot light it decided to light.  I set the temp to 400 degrees and prepped the rolls.  Now here I did cheat, I used the Pillsbury rolls and put them in my cast iron skillet.  Then cooked them in the oven.  I was very impressed that the oven was right on, I cooked the rolls for the specified 15 minutes and they turned out perfect.   Sorry, I meant to take a picture but it escaped my notice until the rolls were gone.

I have decided that I need to invest in a cook plate (I think that is what you call it) for the Dutch oven.  With this I will be able to cook in the Dutch oven under the covenient cover of our awning.  I have not figured out where I can get one but I have seen some homemade ones and will start doing my research.

I found a recipe for Camp Cobbler where you use a bag of Betty Crocker Oatmeal cookie mix, butter, and two cans of apple pie filling.  This sounded very simple and delicious but I could not find the Betty Crocker Oatmeal cookie mix.  So in my mad googling last night I came across the site Fake-It Frugal and Heather Bea has found ways to make (or fake) our favorite brands by mixing your own ingredients and prepackaging them for future use.  I was thrilled to find this and my next task is to "make" some prepackaged Oatmeal cookie mix in preperation for our next camping trip in a couple of weeks.  I don't know why this recipe sounds so good to me but I have to make it and see if I am right and it tastes as good as it sounds.
