Though we may be camping, that doesn't mean we are only roasting hotdogs and eating junk food for the duration of the trip. I have taught Peyton that anything we cook at home in our kitchen can be cooked over a campfire or on a ...

I'm obviously not against it as I am doing it right now. But I much rather make her a meal from scratch or bake her a treat to enjoy during the week. With the help of Cooking, Baking and Making by Cynthia O'Connor O'Hara that is what I am going to be ...
