Way to hot here to camp in the summer. We usually camp in the cooler fall weather.

S'mores

~

The first written record of S'mores was in the Girl Scout Handbook of 1927. Now S'mores are an absolute "must" for the annual camping trip, or back yard BBQ. 

Apparently S'more is a contraction of the phrase "some more", most likely picked up from some youngster with a full mouth. 

S'mores are so popular that there are now several variations including Belgian S'mores which is made by placing a piece of red licorice on top of the marshmallow. Peanut butter is another yummy addition.


Camping Help

This is a tip for camping rather than a recipe. Take a bar of plain soap such as Ivory with you. Rub a thick coat of it onto the outer bottom of any pan you use before putting it over the fire. This way, instead of having all that blackness to scrub off, you just wash off the soap and all the blackness goes with it.


Coffee Can Cooking on a Campfire

A simple and easy way of campfire cooking is to set a large coffee can on the coals. Layer your food into the can, cover it and use the coffee can to cook your meal. This is a very simple and easy method for camp cooking. 

Can Cooking Instructions:
Use an empty 44-ounce coffee can for your pot.
Layer your food into the can.
Suggested foods: Use hamburger or chicken, onions, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and other vegetables.
Seal the top of the coffee can with heavy-duty foil.
Place the can onto the coals.
Put a few coals on top of the foil.
Cook the can for 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.
Carefully remove the can from the fire. Using gloves may be a good idea.
Serve up your mouth-watering meal!
Save your old coffee cans, and try out this idea on your next camping trip. You won’t even need to bring a pan along!
