Camping is all about roughing it and being able to enjoy the great outdoors. Listed below are a few good recipes to help you do just that.

Biscuits on a Stick

Ingredients:

1 can biscuits

squeeze butter

1 stick

Preparation:

Roll out a biscuit with your hands so that it becomes elongated and about one inch thick at the center. Wrap it tightly around the end of your stick and pinching it as you go to insure that it stays on the stick while cooking. When done wrapping, the biscuit should take up about six inches of the stick. Heat over the campfire until golden brown. Pull it off the stick, pour butter down the hole left by the stick, and enjoy.

Tips:

Spruce it up by sprinkling cinnamon or sugar over your buttered biscuit. Or for a good addition to your dinner, sprinkle garlic powder over it.

Fish on a Stick

Ingredients:

Fish fillets

Your favorite seasoning

Hardwood stick

Preparation:

Thread the stick through the fish. Coat with seasoning. Cook over hot coals. Cook both sides until fish flakes at the thickest part.

Tips:

Serve with foil wrapped potatoes.

Steak Kabobs

Ingredients:

Pre-marinated steak cut into 1 inch cubes

Skewers

Cut up vegetable of your choice; i.e. bell peppers, onions

Preparation:

Alternate beef and vegetables on metal or wooden skewers. Grill over hot coals for 10-15 minutes until cooked. Turn and rotate often.

Tips:

Use cut up fruits with or in place of the veggies. Examples would be: pineapples or apples.

Apple Pie on a Stick

Ingredients:

1 Jonathan or Rome apple for each person
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Preparation:

Push a stick or dowel through the apple top until the apple is secure on the stick. Place the apple 2 or 3 inches above the hot coals and turn the apple while roasting it. As the apple cooks, the skin browns and the juice drips out. When the skin is loose, remove the apple from the fire (but leave it on the stick). Peel the hot skin off very carefully.

Combine sugar and cinnamon. Roll the apple in the sugar-cinnamon mixture, then return it to roast over the coals, letting the mixture heat to form a glaze around the apple. Remove from coals and let it cool.

Angel Food Cake

Ingredients:

Loaf of Italian Bread cut into six pieces (or more)

1 can of Sweet & Condensed Milk (Not evaporated milk!)

Flaked Coconut

Preparation:

Take the pieces of italian bread and cover with sweet & condensed milk, then roll in coconut. Put on a stick and slowly cook over the fire until nice and lightly browned. Enjoy! They really do taste like Angel Food Cake.

Tips:

Instead of coconut, you can roll your bread in finely chopped nuts or dried fruit.

Pigs in a Blanket

5 Servings

Ingredients:

10 hot dogs, (1 package)

10 refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, (1 tube)

cheese, (optional)

Preparation:

Wrap a biscuit around each hot dog, pinching the edges together. (Both ends of the hotdog will stick out.) Roast on a roasting fork (or stick) over hot coals (NOT flames) for 10-15 minutes, or until biscuit is baked and golden. Be patient and don’t get the hot dog too close to the hot coals or the biscuit will be done on the outside before it is on the inside.

Tips:

You can split the hot dog and put cheese in it before wrapping the biscuit around it. Just be careful your cheese doesn’t all run out before your biscuit is done.
