Grandma has been a Girl Scout for a long time. There is nothing that Grandma likes better than to head off to camp - except cook over the campfire! Author Deb Graham has put generations of Girl Scout cooking wisdom & long-treasured recipes into  Hungry Kids Camp Fire Cookbook (Busy Kids, Happy Kids) , a veritable bible of easy camp cooking.With just over 100 camp recipes for everything from breakfast cocoa to Campfire Baked Apples and everything in between,  Hungry Kids Camp Fire Cookbook (Busy Kids, Happy Kids)  is chock full of quick, easy and innovative recipes that are well-tested favorites sure to please the kids in your life, whether at camp or at home.Deb is an old hand at traveling light (the general Girl Scout rule is "you pack it, you carry it") and that applies to her list of required kitchen gear as well. Grandma found only one thing that she forgot to mention - a spatula. While you can flip pancakes with a knife, I do know a Boy Scout leader who would tell you it just isn't all that easy to do. For those unfamiliar with some of these methods of campfire cooking, she also gives exceedingly clear instructions with drawings where necessary.Grandma's $0.02 - You'll find camp grub here sure to delight campers of all ages - and you can pack the Kindle version along on your cell phone. (Gives whole new meaning to "traveling light.") This is a Don't Miss book that comes with Grandma's Very Highest Recommendation!Deserves at least 10 stars!

The campfire, barbq, or stove top Recipes are familiar but in New and novel presentations. Perfect to make social distancing not as boring and it's always a great to share the work of meal times. I will not say a word about teaching a very adult survival skill of mixing, seasoning, cooking and cleaning with giggles and laughter. The recipes and directions also worked for a seniors gathering who have attended and hosted cookouts for a collective century of more but eagerly found some new things to try and later do with the grands! I will be mentioning this book in my local area blog of what to do to relieve the boredom of Covid Social Isolation.

Grandma recommended this book, so I downloaded, and she is right. It's a must-have for anyone who likes camping.The author have recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and snacks. I especially liked "Walking Tacos", which is a taco served in individual bags, complete with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, olives, beans, salsa and sour cream. My kids love all of the ingredients and I cook tacos often while camping. However, this is better because each serving is in it's own bag, with no need to dirty dishes. Love it!The "Taco Potatoes" sounds like another winner. It's simple, quick and a complete meal in a potato. Yep, I love to cook for the campfire, but am not fond of washing a lot of dishes.I'm going to try the campfire pineapple upside down cake. It sounds easy and delicious. It will be fun to have dessert cooked over the fire.The "Flaming Hot Dog" recipe sounds spectacular, and a will be a real treat for kids. The book is full of fun recipes, all tailored to youngsters.Thanks for taking the time to read my review, and I hope you found it helpful in making a purchase decision.

While I regularly cook, this book brought back a number of things I’d done long ago with many more things for me to do and amuse my nieces and nephews (and their kids too) in the future. Thank you for all the ideas, organized well!

With quarantine in spring 2020, I purchased this for the grandkids (6 & 8), had it shipped to them along with some other things. They really enjoyed experimenting with foods.

Kids & I love this book but would have liked to seen the recipes organized a bit differently. Very fun & inventive ways to cook, not just at camp but at home as well.

I can't wait till I can try these recipes on our backyard campfire! They all sound like something my grandchildren will enjoy. Some great variations on some old favorites.

I bought this book to get some cooking ideas for my 2nd grade Brownies. This book has several recipes that are easy for young kids to help make.

Useful gift for the family, lots of ideas for outdoor cooking
