UPDATED MARCH 2018 Welcome to Camp Cooking Week! Today we’re talking s’mores and all the other foods you can roast over a fire. Savory s’mores anyone?
We’ll be cooking outdoors all week long so come back tomorrow for more outdoor cooking tips and tricks.
Day 3 – Backyard Bonfire
Cooking over a fire is perhaps the most thought of form of camp cooking. Whether you wrap up food in tinfoil and stick it in the coals or stab it onto a stick and roast it over the flames, food cooked over a fire is delicious.
S’mores are a must have when camping out, but they’re not the only thing to cook over a fire. Last weekend a friend of mine invited me and the tots to a fun family birthday party. Her husband and son have the same birthday so in order to accommodate both kids and adults she planned a backyard bonfire. Fun for all!

Savory S’mores
In addition to a table of sweet treats, my friend prepared something I had never heard of before – SAVORY S’MORES. Imagine cheeses wrapped in meat slices, savory crackers and pretzel chips.
I’d never had savory s’mores before, never even thought to have them, but once I saw the spread I knew the idea was fantastic. Wrap a mozzarella ball in a slice of ham and roast it into a tasty ball of goodness. Yum.
