When your camping with kids, you want to be able to fix some easy food for camping. You really don’t want to be spending all your time cooking meals. If your kids are old enough, why not start them on cooking and have them help you fix some easy food for camping.
Over the year’s, I’ve been put into the position of having to teach kids how to cook.
Brownies, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, 4-H Bread Making Class, and of course, our own kids.
There have been oodles of recipes that would work up real good as easy food for
camping.
One of the most liked and easiest to fix is Ice Cream in a can. If you can’t find a few coffee cans to use, check out this Ice Cream Ball at Amazon.com…………
