Go for the S'mores

Now that you have the time, try some fancy cooking by the campfire with the family and grandkids this summer. For creative recipes and helpful hints, check out  Family Fun Magazine's Website.

If your adventure includes a fishing expedition, look at Classic Camp Chow for a coating mix you can prepare in advance. Rustle up a little "camp dough," and your basic biscuits can be transformed into Snakes on a Stick or Grilled Logs.

The site would not be complete without the recipe for S'mores, first published in the Girl Scout Handbook in 1940. Ideas for more creative combinations are included, along with recipes for other sweet treats: Dugout Canoes, Baked Apples and Shaggy Dogs.

Trail mix recipes include Rain Forest Munch, Bird Seed and GORP -- "good old raisins and peanuts." If you want to tailor to your personal taste, try adding dried fruit, corn nuts, cereal, seeds, nuts or carob chips.
