A Feel Good Camping Trip

I signed up for Google Alerts a few months ago so that instead of surfing the Internet every day to see if there are any new or interesting stories about camping and camping products, I get daily emails. A lot of it is garbage but a blog post I read this morning put me in a good mood.

It is one Mom’s account of a recent camping trip with 4, eleven year old children. The pictures that accompany her blog post are great. I think I like them so much because it looked warm and sunny where she camped versus the 30 degree temps and snow on the ground where I live.

It’s pretty entertaining. I laughed at the picture of her kids “loving on each other” while watching a sunset when actually one of the kids is biting the other on the arm. And I also got a kick out of her story about “Stalker Steve.”

The post will only take a couple of minutes to read. Click here to read it and see if it puts a smile on your face.

Campfire Fondue Recipe

Now that the weather has turned cooler in many parts of the United States, warm comforting food is always welcome while camping. And what could be better than warm cheesy fondue?

Here is a recipe for an easy campfire fondue.

CAMPFIRE FONDUE
Ingredients:
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons flour
1 can cream of celery soup
1/2 cup beer (a domestic brand like Bud works great but avoid using light beer. Use something you like to drink though because the recipe only calls for 1/2 cup and somebody has to drink the rest of the can or bottle!)

Directions:
Place cheeses, flour, and paprika in a resealable plastic bag. Close and shake to coat cheese in the flour and paprika.
In a medium pan or small dutch oven, heat the soup and beer over medium until it bubbles. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cheese mixture. Stir constantly until cheese is melted.

Serve with french bread cubes and sliced Granny Smith apples.
