Technorati: smores, smores-recipes
We've all had the traditional s'mores recipe: Campfire-roasted melty, gooey marshmallow on a Hershey's Chocolate bar on a graham cracker topped with another graham cracker square. I guess, when you've had a dozen of those every night at the campfire, you start getting ideas (as well as a tummy ache) to come up with other interesting variations.

Here's 14 more S'mores Recipes, some perfect for the campfire, some you can do indoor.

1. Baked Alaska Peanut S'mores - a gourmet recipe with gourmet ingredients (Epicurean).

2. Mexican S'mores - Hint: flour tortillas

3. Indoor S'mores - Same s'mores taste, but from an oven or microwave

4. Upscale S'mores - for fancy folks (wheatmeal biscuits, and Lindt chocolates)

5. S'mores Bread Pudding - A heart-warming treat, bread pudding, with an all-time favorite flavor or smores.

6. Heart-Attack Smore's Pie - The already-so-rich smores recipe plus heavy cream!

7. Grown-up Smores - Skip this if you don't like recipes with 12 ingredients or more (Epicurean)

10. Caramel Rocky Road Smores - Recipe for caramel lovers

11. Gourmet Smores Recipe collection - From who else but www.gourmet.com if you haven't tried French S'mores. By the way, where do you get Petite Écolier, and what is it?

Gone are the days when campers used to miss their fresh and warm desserts after meals. Now with dutch oven, you can easily prepare some dinner treats for your friends or family over a campfire. Dump cake is one of the favorite camping recipes.

You need two ingredients and your camping oven to prepare this delicious dump cake. All you need to do is to follow these steps:

1) Put one can of fruit or peaches in your dutch oven.

2) Add one box of white cake mix on the fruit in the oven.

3) Place your dutch camping oven on hot coals. Also place some coals on the top lid of oven.

4) Bake the cake in dutch oven until it is golden brown and a crust is formed.

You need to practice the dish to ensure that you heat the dutch oven at proper temperature. Moreover, you would learn new techniques and have an idea of number of hot coals to use. Most important is to carefully monitor the progress of the baking process.

Many a times people burn the bottom of the dump cake that spoils its taste. You can alter the baking temperature by adding or removing the hot coals from dutch camping oven. If you are referring some cooking recipe book then number of hot coals to use is also mentioned in the recipe to ensure that you do not end up burning your dish.

The best camping recipe is one that involves no cooking. How to do that? Make it at home, freeze it, toss it in the cooler to serve as ice pack on your way to the campground. At the camp site, wrap it in heavy-duty tin foil throw it on the fire, and unwrap for gourmet camping dining.

A perfect camping menu item for that strategy is meatloaf. The video below is from my friend Kathy Maister, who makes cooking videos for total kitchen klutz like me.

Make a couple of meatloaves. Don't know if it's the hiking, or the camping excitement or the late nights playing monopoly in the camping tent, but my kids appetites double when we go camping.

Somehow food is more delicious and satisfying outdoors. Maybe it’s the crisp and fresh air. Maybe I’m hungrier. Maybe it’s being able to eat without being interrupted by the phone!

The only drawback to camping cooking is preparing and cleaning up. I don't like cooking multi-step recipes when I can be watching the sunset or scrubbing smoke-stained dishes in less than adequate dishpans after the meal.

That is why my favorite cooking 'pot' is aluminum foil.

Foil cooking allows you to prepare marvelous meals in the coals of your campfire and have nothing to wash when dinner's over! Below are 7 of my favorite foil wrap recipes. Continue reading…

The first time I saw a Dutch-oven was in Martha Stewart’s show. So when another camping family told me the #1 most essential cookware was their Dutch-oven, I was surprised. Until I met the hardier cast-iron cousin to Martha Stewart’s bright fashion-colored variety.

The cast-iron Dutch-oven is, indeed, an indestructible kitchen ironman (unless you commit those 5 no-nos below) . You can bake pineapple upside down cake, make mountain man breakfasts, Continue reading…

When camping, good food has the power to make breathtaking sunsets more beautiful, rainy days less of a drag and good friends even more fun to be around.

Take care to avoid these camping kitchen mistakes

#1. Not Keeping Hot Foods Hot

If you like your meats at the borderline USDA approved internal temperatures, don't forget to bring your meat thermometer. It doesn't take a lot of room:

• Steaks and fish - 145 °F
• Pork - 160 °F
• Ground Beef - 160 °F
• Egg Dishes - 160 °F
• Chicken - 165 °F

#2. Not Keeping Cold Foods Cold

Your camping cooler is your best friend, if you treat him right. For example, it baffles me how Continue reading…
