Campfire Beans
Our kids saw an old movie where the cowboys were eating beans from a can and decided it would be fun to have beans on our last camping trip. We didn't cook the beans in the can but we enjoyed our own variation in a big cast iron pot.

Campfire Pizza
This pizza is fun to make but you have to watch it doesn't burn. You can also make this on your BBQ using indirect heat, like an oven.

Campfire Baked Apples
Baked apples are great at home and amazing when cooked over hot coals. Try these if you are out camping.

Campfire Popcorn
We had a campfire popcorn popper when we were kids but I haven't been able to find one. We use heavy duty foil and it works everytime. You will need one package per person.

Omelette in a Bag
You will not believe how easy this recipe is. We tried it for the first time a few years ago during a summer camping trip. We now make them at home because they taste so good!

Perfect Lemonade
The key to making perfect lemonade every time is to use simple syrup, made by boiling together both water and sugar, then cooling. This completely dissolves the sugar and blends deliciously with the tart lemon.

Bring the snow inside and have fun cooking with the kids.

Kids Artsy Xmas Cookies
This recipe is a family tradition. December hasn't even arrived yet and the kids are already asking me when we'll bake them! It's baking and painting all at once, and tastes as good as it looks! All you need is your favourite shortbread recipe (one is provided if you don't have one), some food colouring, 4 new fine paintbrushes, and an assortment of cookie cutters (preferrably the ones that have a pattern inside of them).

Ramadan: Halawah bil-Fawaak
In North Africa, honey is used much more than in the Middle East. During Ramadan, the enticing sweets are enhanced by being soaked in a honey syrup or having honey as a main ingredient.

Santa's Breakfast
I got this recipe a couple years ago, and have made it at Christmas ever since. I prepare it Xmas Eve. and it sits in the fridge until Xmas morn when you put it in to cook. While you're opening gifts, its cooking and when your finished unwrapping, breakfast is ready to eat.

Magic Reindeer Food
Don't stop at cookies for Santa! Make up a batch of reindeer food. On Christmas Eve before heading to bed, sprinkle the magic mixture on the front lawn. Santa is sure to spot the glitter, and the smell of the oatmeal and sugar will guarantee the reindeer stop at your house. This makes a great gift to hand out to the kids on Christmas Eve or to school friends before everyone heads out for Christmas break.
