I personally love plain old burgers and hot dogs while camping :) Bacon cooking over the fire in the morning... yum yum! But I also like to pack a few 'different' meals to throw in some extra fun and excitement. Click on the photos to be taken to the original posts/recipes!
Breakfast is important - getting your body ready for a day on the lake, hiking, fishing, etc. So Breakfast Burritos over the campfire is a great idea!
Or how about S'mores Granola. Granola = breakfast. The end :)
This always peaks my interest - don't throw out the orange peels, use them to hold a cinnamon roll instead and bake/warm over the fire. OMG YUM! How easy to pack a bag of oranges and store a can of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in your cooler? Two meals in one! Campfire Orange Cinnamon Rolls...
You could try this for breakfast with fruit instead of all the marshmallows. Or just marshmallows :) Okay, maybe some peanut butter should be added and make this a breakfast meal :) Or just use it for a snack but wow - delicious! Banana Boats!

Snacks!
Next month we will be nestled into our campsite in Yoho so I better get going on listing our tips and tricks so I don't forget any of them!!
Hiking, climbing, sight-seeing, etc can really wear the kids (and mom and dad) out so camping snacks are a MUST! We will be bringing along granola bars and some fruit but it's fun to try some snacks that are just right for the campfire. Smore's are a given.... but we like to bring along some Jiffy Pop popcorn. Here is a way to make your own Campfire Popcorn with aluminum foil, popcorn kernels, and vegetable oil:
As I mentioned earlier, Smore's are a hit for camping. Marshmallows, chocolate, and graham wafers.. Yum! But there are many different versions you can try for mixing it up a little. Like:

Smores'adillas
Marshmallows, chocolate chips, and Golden Grahams cereal melted into two tortillas... oh my!
Or you can try some of these variations:
And some of you may have never heard of Smore's... what's the big deal? You HAVE to try it to find out! Here are some how-to's for making Smore's indoors or out for Honeymaid Graham Crackers (click photo):

Camping Tips and Tricks - Breakfast
The best part about camping? The food of course! We tend to like the fire-grilled steak, burgers, and hot dogs but I have been collecting some awesome camping food ideas for this trip! These are the BREAKFAST ideas I have found that look great from various sites
(Click Images for MAIN site page, click individual recipe titles for direct links to the recipes)
(You can buy ready-diced potatoes such as McCain Breakfast Potatoes)
(this is to-die-for, cooked at home in the oven, so can't wait to try it while camping as a breakfast surprise)
(bake Pillsbury refridgerated dough rolls inside hollowed out oranges - eat the oranges too, of course)
(if you really want to prepare, make ahead some burritos, roll in foil and store in your cooler - throw them on the fire in the morning!)
(something I've never seen before - cooking bacon and eggs in a paper bag over a low fire/heat from the embers)
Cheater Skillet Monkey bread
(similar to one above but even easier for camping)
(similar to one above but even easier for camping)
bring a box or two along in your cooler and toss in whatever you like with it (sweeter the better!)
(okay this is prob more for mom and dad, but an idea to steal from this is to bring along a freezer bag filled with a pre-measured amount of Bisquick or your own base baking mix and other ingredients to make fresh pancakes right over the fire - YUM)
(yum!! sounds great - layer sausages or bacon along bottom of foil pack and layer with whatever you want really- can use more of those diced potatoes or bring along a bag of hashbrowns too)
Muffin Tin Eggs - this is my Fave Idea of all!
(I have a 6-tin muffin pan which is perfect for the 5 of us that should be going. Throw those in an english muffin, perhaps, for your own 'breakfast burger', as my 6 yr old calls them)
(my MOST Fave Idea of all - and so easy to find a spot to cook it if you have eggs in the frying pan)
