Rate It: Healthy Snacks for Fishing Trips I have a friend looking for healthy snacks to take on fishing trips. They'll be camping so there will be a cooler and camp stove handy, but they are looking for snacks that won't keep them away from the water for very long. Since they go every week, sliced fruit and raw veggies are getting a little boring. By Stephanie from Hillsboro Post Feedback: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf42084738.tip.html

Rate It: These are a great compliment to fish or chicken. Ingredients:
Directions:First, heat about 1/2 inch of cooking oil to about 360 degrees F, because the rest of it doesn't take long. While it is heating, mix the corn meal, baking powder and salt. Then jumble in the onions. Blend in the milk and water next, maybe adding a little more corn meal ( if necessary), until the dough is stiff enough to be able to be handled. Shape dough into oblong thumb-sized cakes and drop them into the fat and fry. Turn occasionally until they are done, about 15 minutes.
