Breakfast Series: Biscuits!

These biscuits are fluffy, soft and delicious. Yummy biscuits are one of our favorite things for breakfast. They are really good with jam and butter or any topping you like, even GRAVY!

Trick or Treat!!

Here's a trick that's actually a treat!

Burger "Sliders"

What you need:

Vanilla Wafers
Candy fruit gems (We got ours at Trader Joes)

Stuff for the "Burger" part:

1/3 cup of heavy cream
1/3 cup of corn syrup
1 cup of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 bag of chocolate chips


Here's what you do:

Put the cream and corn syrup together in a saucepan. Boil it for one minute. Take it off the stove and add the chocolate chips. Stir it together until it's melted and smooth, then add the vanilla and the powdered sugar and stir it again until it's smooth. Then pour it into a jellyroll pan that has been all greased. Smash it flat onto the pan, then chill it in the freezer for a half an hour or so. To cut out the burger shapes, you take a circle cookie cutter the size of the wafer cookies. The other way to do it is to cut some of the fudge off, roll it into a ball and smash it into a burger shape.

Then what you do is stack a burger on one cookie and add a fruit candy (you can smash the candy flat first if you need to so it's the same size as the burger) then stack another cookie on the top.

See in the picture that they actually look like mini burgers! We had these for dessert at our Trick or Treat dinner. Thanks Rachael Ray for this tricky idea.

How to Make S'mores

S'mores are one of our favorite things to make over the fire. Because we do this EVERY time we go camping, we've gotten pretty good at it!

I like to roast them so they are light brown on the outside and melty on the inside. In this video I will share my secrets on how to get them that way. Enjoy!

Little Chef takes it on the road!

In the video, we forgot to mention that you need to butter that foil so the banana doesn't stick. The butter also helps to tell you when they've cooked long enough. When you hear the sizzle, it's almost time to take them off the heat. Another good idea is to sprinkle chopped nuts on the bananas before you fold it up. Hazelnuts would be the best, but any nut would be delicious.

Also, we want to thank our friend Cari for inspiring this recipe. The night before Chef E and KK Chef got married at Camp Namanu, Cari made us all roasted bananas with peanut butter and chocolate. Those were delicious too!

Roasted Wienies: a Campground favorite

Roasting stuff over the fire is our favorite thing about camping. Here we are on the first night on our trip to Sequim Bay State Park where we make an easy dinner - roasted wienies!
