/1/ Bacon Stuffed Cinnamon Buns in a Skillet – Did somebody say bacon? This savory breakfast will have you asking for seconds. I’m sure of it. And don’t you even worry about those calories. You’ll burn those off swatting at the mosquitoes!
/2/ Campfire Orange Blueberry Muffins – How’s this for a twist on cooking over an open flame? Pour your muffin batter right into a hollow orange peel, wrap in aluminum foil and toss into the fire. The most perfect orange infused blueberry muffin you ever will eat.
/3/ Campfire Breakfast Potatoes – Headed out on the trails and need something a bit more filling than the cinnamon buns or muffins? You can’t go wrong with these seasoned potatoes.

/5/ Campfire Chili Cheese Baked Potato – While you wait for your potatoes to “bake” in the camp fire you could sing a few rounds of Kumbaya.
/6/ Spicy Roasted Corn with Taco Flavored Butter infused with Cilantro and Lemon – {say THAT three times fast!} OK, so maybe you want to have the traditional hotdog roasted over the camp fire. Add a side of this yummy roasted corn to complete your meal. You can’t forget to eat your veggies…even if you are camping.
/7/ Bacon and Onion Campfire Hasselback Potato – Would you just look at how tasty that potato looks. I wouldn’t blame you if you just licked your computer screen. Bacon and onions? Oh my. Yes, please!

/9/ Campfire Cones – Because you can fill your cone with ANY fruit or topping imaginable, this dessert is sure to be a crowd pleaser!
/10/ Campfire Eclairs – Bet you never thought you could make something as fancy as an eclair on a camping trip. It’s as easy as a can of crescents, some prepared pudding and a spray can of whipped cream. You’re welcome!
