Creative Cooking For Kids- Perfect For Summer Camping


Every summer our family disappears for at least one family camping vacation.  We vanish from civilization for an entire week, calling the remote woods of Wisconsin home for a few days.  One of our favorite activities while camping is, of course, eating.  This year, as we prepare to hit the woods, I’ve been on the lookout for a few new kid-friendly camping recipes.  Normally, our meal routine consists of the usual suspects, burgers, hot dogs, chicken breasts, etc — basically, anything that can be prepared quickly and easily over a raging fire.  It’s time to find something new and exciting, something to tantalize the tastebuds, while being easy to prepare.

I found the very things at a new-to-me website called Kids Cooking Activities.  Let me say up front that this website is a complete treasure trove of kid-friendly recipes.  They have recipes for every occassion and every season, all meant for little fingers to prepare.  The Kids Campfire Cooking section is fun to read and easy to understand.  Even better, the recipes are no-fuss and require minimal ingredients — a must when cooking in the middle of nowhere.  As I read through the recipes, I also really appreciate and applaud the campfire safety tips.

With recipes such as Apple Pie On A Stick, Mini Campfire Cakes, and Campfire Meatloaf, there are plenty of recipes to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters.  Taco Salad in a Baggie?  That sound incredibly fun, and like something that my little ones would love to prepare for the whole family.  I can just see the proud looks on their faces as they pass the individual salads out to each family member.  Maybe your family isn’t a camping family — then you’ll want to click over to the Picnic Ideas and Recipes and give your children some ideas for planning a family picnic, all on their own.  Have you ever thought of having a breakfast picnic?  Now you can, with a recipe your children can prepare for Waffle Sandwiches.

No matter what the occasion or situation that comes up this summer, Kids Cooking Activities has something for everyone.
