Took the kids camping this weekend :)

So we are just getting back from a great little family camping trip. We had a great time exploring nature and reading around the campfire. We had gone to the local library a few days before our trip and found a great book by meteorologist Cindy Day called Grandma says. It is a book about all the different weather lore our great grandparents and grandparents used to predict weather and it is filled with really great stories about growing up on a farm as well a lot of fun ways to use weather lore today. We are going to try some of them and see if they really work :)

                 We thought we would share with you one of our favorite campfire recipes as well :)

Campfire Cinnamon rolls!!  

They are pretty rustic looking but taste great!

Recipe for Campfire Cinnamon rolls:

A ball of your favorite pizza dough (You can cheat and use store bought if you wish)

A mixture of Cinnamon and Sugar to taste (We used coconut palm sugar)

We also added some shredded apples for fun :)

Spread out a small section of dough into the palm of your hand. 

Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Add shredded apples if you wish.

Squish dough together to form a ball.

Cook on campfire for about 10-15 minutes. 

Enjoy! 

The kids really enjoy making them and they are delicious. Especially on a cool evening around the fire. 

PS - Keep an eye out for neighbors getting rid of their old stove or BBQ and save the grills for camping. They are great for cooking over the fire!
