Outdoor Cooking Made Easy & Yum
Hi. Welcome to Backyard Yum. I'm Matt, and I created this site to give my readers free recipes and tips for the outdoors.
Backyard Yum is about cooking real food wherever you happen to be—your backyard, a campsite, the side of a trail, or off-grid with nothing but what you packed in.
This isn’t complicated, chef-driven cooking. It’s simple, reliable meals, practical setups, and gear that actually works when you’re outside. Whether you’re grilling, cooking over a fire, using a camp stove, or dialing in a solar oven, the goal is the same: eat well without overthinking it.
I am always adding new recipes, so if you don't see what you're looking for now please check back or join my email newsletter list to get all the new food yum.
