French Toast - Simple campfire breakfast

This is a very simple breakfast to have on your campfire.
The ingredients are 4 to 5 eggs, 3 tablespoons of milk ( I use Soya) 8 slices of bread and about 2 teaspoons of cooking oil or butter.
Crack and put all your eggs in a medium size bowl, add milk and whisk together with a fork or whisk. Now dip the slices of bread into the egg mixture to soak as much liquid into both sides of each slice.
Heat your oil or butter in a fry pan - not too hot- then place and fry the slices for about 3 minutes on each side until they are a nice golden brown color. Serve it up as is or with bacon.

The above  is just the basic recipe you can add to the mixture to create different tastes. For example try
adding a pinch of salt, grated cheese (about half cup will be plenty) and some chopped herbs if you have any handy. Serve up with fried mushrooms- yummy!

Meals when camping. Keep it simple

Children and camp cooking.
Children love to get involved, and the beauty of camping is that the recipes are usually simple, easy and fun. The kids will enjoy them even more if you let them modify the camp recipes and have some cooking fun. Before your next family camping trip, gather up some kid-friendly camping recipes. Camping dessert recipes are fun and easy for kids to make, and the whole family enjoys eating them.
Browse the web for some good easy recipes.
Get the children to cook their own pudding in a tin - ex jam tin/baked beans tin type.
You will find they will eat whatever they cook themselves.
 Meals should be made as simple as possible. Meals or soups in a cup are definitely convenient foods but they may be too bulky for many backpackers and campers. Meals take more time to prepare at the campground but it's also one of the jobs that everyone seems to want to help out with. Meals around the campfire are just as much the centre of camping life as meals around the kitchen bench at home.
