Campfire Anyone?

5/18/2015

0 Comments

 
With warm weather here (except for today, what the heck Iowa?!?) I thought I would share some of my favorite campfire recipes. 

S'Mores With A Twist

I'm sure everyone has tried the traditional s'more. For those of you living under a rock, its graham cracker, plain Hershey chocolate, and a roasted marshmallow. If you're feeling adventurous I suggest bringing an assortment of fun sized candy bars to use instead of a plain Hershey bar. My favorites are Snickers, Reeses, and Milky Ways. If you have tried using different candy bars leave a comment and tell me what your favorite one is. 

You Can Grill That?

We all know you can roast a marshmallow and cook a hotdog over a campfire pretty quick. Here are some things you may not have known about. You can roast a Starburst. I hear they work somewhat like marshmallows, they get crispy on the outside but gooey on the inside and its supposed to make the flavor more intense. You can grill peaches over the campfire and then eat them with ice cream (YUM!). You can get fancy and grill some Kebobs for dinner and wrap biscuts from a can around a stick to have dinner rolls to go with it. 

Stick Free Cooking

There are a few things you can cook with a campfire that are stick free. You can do HoBo dinners by wrapping meat and vegetables in foil and putting the foil in the coals. The key is making sure that your coals are warm but not hot enough to burn dinner. Banana Boats are a super yummy dessert that you can make similar to HoBo Dinners. You cut a banana length wise, leave it in the peel and stuff it with chocolate and marshmallows. Wrap it all up in foil and set it in the coals for a while. Once the chocolate and marshmallows are melted and the banana is gooey its a really good treat.  If you have a dutch oven you can cook a peach or cherry cobbler with 3 ingredients. Put your canned pie filling of your choice in the bottom of the dutch oven. Top it with a box of yellow cake (if you're feeling extra fancy you can add a dash of cinnamon) and then put in chunks of butter. Put some warm coals on top of your dutch oven and let it sit and cook for 10-30 minutes, depending on how hot your coals are. 

I hope you get to have some fun adventure around the fire this summer!
