  1. Bring ¾ cup butter and 1 tub (340 g) + 1 cup cream cheese to room temperature.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  3. Cut 2 lbs unpeeled potatoes into sticks and 3 cups cauliflower into small florets.
  4. Place in a large bowl and add 5 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Transfer to two rectangular baking dishes or to individual aluminum pans (this will be handy for finishing the cooking at the campsite, on the BBQ or over the campfire). Leave room in your containers for the other ingredients in the recipe. Bake for 35 minutes.
  6. Grate 1 cup carrots and set aside.
  7. Chop 1 yellow onion, 2 garlic cloves and 2 green onions. Set aside.
  8. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tbsp olive oil and cook 450 g ground pork and 1 chopped yellow onion for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Stir in 2 chopped garlic cloves and 2 cups salsa and simmer for 15 minutes.
  10. Rinse and drain 1 can chickpeas and 1 can black beans (if making the veggie version of the Poutine Fest). Set aside.
  11. In a food processor, place 1 tub (340 g) room-temperature cream cheese, 1½ cups grated Tex-Mex-style cheese, 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained, 1 cup grated carrots, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
  12. Blend all the ingredients until smooth and transfer to individual aluminum containers that can go on the BBQ or over the campfire. Refrigerate or freeze.
  13. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda and 1 tbsp baking powder.
  14. In another bowl, using an electric mixer, cream ¾ cup room-temperature butter and 1 cup packed brown sugar for 1 minute. Add 2 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix again.
  15. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon.
  16. Add 5 coarsely crumbled graham crackers, 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup mini marshmallows. Mix again.
  17. Onto two nonstick baking sheets or sheets lined with parchment paper, drop the cookie dough by spoonfuls. Shape into balls of about 2 tbsp each.
  18. Flatten slightly with a fork and bake for 8 minutes.
  19. Add 2 cups poutine gravy to the potato and cauliflower mixture. Top with 2 cups leftover meat or 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained, and 2 cups cheese curds. Refrigerate or freeze.
  20. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, combine 2 cups flour, ¼ cup cocoa powder, ¼ cup sugar, 1¼ cups milk, 5 eggs, ½ tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
  21. Melt 1 tsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, pour in ½ cup of the crêpe batter and spread it with a spatula. Cook for 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
  22. Place the crêpes in an airtight container, layering them with parchment paper so they don't stick together. Refrigerate or freeze.
  23. In a bowl, combine 1 cup room-temperature cream cheese and 2 cups grated cheese.
  24. Place 8 waffles on the counter.
