Campfire Food

Camping is about laziness. It's when you pack up your car and leave your house to avoid doing all the chores that are waiting for you there. Trouble is that camping is quite a bit of work itself. I don't have to set up walls and a roof when I'm at home, yet I leave home to sleep in a tent.
To lessen our amount of camping chores, my friends and I limit ourselves to food that can be cooked over the campfire. Bonus points are awarded if you also limit your utensils to tin foil and a hotdog roaster. The great thing about cooking over a campfire is that you are already sitting beside it anyway. The effort required to flip or stir your supper is very minimal.
A few years ago hotdogs and a bottle of mustard made up the bulk of our camping groceries but this gets old fast. Our tastes have become much more sophisticated and so have our meals (jello shots are sophisticated right?). I bring you the best of Campfire Food -Summer 2012:

Bacon Wrapped Hotdog

What better way to elevate the smokie than by wrapping it in bacon? No really, if you know of more ways, I'm all ears.
Corn is another camping classic (did you pick up on that one Ash?). We throw our cobs onto the grate above the fire pit. Leave them in the husks and they take care of themselves.
One of my favourite camping foods this summer was veggie skewers.

MMM

This would be one of those bonus point dishes if the skewer wasn't being continuously basted in a delicious sauce. Luckily it is. The sauce is worth the 'effort'. It is made up of melted butter and this beauty:

*actually not that hot

This is from the Italian Centre and costs less than a toonie. It has coated pretty much everything I've put on the BBQ this summer.
Breakfast for me is usually just cereal but this time we took it to the next level.

Yeah We Did

Bannock pancakes were really just a delicious excuse to break into some of the homemade jam.
The next morning we experimented with scrambled egg breakfast burritos.

Cheese Makes it Taste Less Burnt

There is room for improvement with these ones, but I'm looking forward to it.
The last idea I can't claim as my own but thought I should share it anyway.

So Simple- Why Didn't I Think of That?

Delightful naan bread pizza!
Sadly, this will be my last camping trip this year. I have a whole nother year before cooking on a campfire once more. That's a long time to be subsisting on oven smores alone!
