Camping...indoor style!

We love camping but don't get to do it very often...we decided to have our own little camping experience indoors with the kids! 

Hamburger and Hotdog Treats

We used to make these cute little treats with the neighbor kids when we would babysit and decided it was time to make them with our own kids. Aren't they cute?

Are boys loved them!

The hamburger is really simple!

You will need: 2 vanilla wafers, 1 grasshopper cookie, some coconut colored green, some vanilla frosting colored red and yellow and some sesame seeds and a little water.

1- To get the sesame seeds to stick to the wafer simply get your finger wet and run it over the top of one cookie, sprinkle a couple sesame seeds over the cookie and let dry.

2- Now sandwich the grasshopper cookie and coconut between the two vanilla wafers using the frosting to hold it all together!

These hot dogs are simple too! You will need: 1 circus peanut, 1 caramel and some vanilla frosting colored red and yellow.

1- Shape the caramel to look like a hot dog and cut the circus peanut in half.

2-Put the caramel in between the circus peanut pieces and top with red and yellow frosting!

Tin Foil Dinners in the Oven

I love tin foil dinners! We keep them pretty simple and decided to cook them in the stove since it's the middle of winter. I took about a 12" inch piece of foil and placed a hamburger patty, some sliced onion, potatoes and carrots with a dash of seasoning and wrapped it up tight. I then cooked it for 45 min on 350 degrees. We add cheese and ketchup to the top when they are done. They were really yummy!

Directions:

Spray cooker with cooking spray. Pour pie filling into cooker. Sprinkle cake mix on top and drizzle melted butter on top- try to cover as much of the cake mix as possible with butter. Cover and cook on high for 1-2 hours or low 3-4 hours, until cake starts to brown on the sides.

You can also mix cake with butter first then sprinkle over top or mix cake mix with 1 can of evaporated milk.

S'mores

There is nothing better then S'mores!

Indoor Camping!

During the winter it's always fun to pull out some of the summer activities and bring them indoors! My two year old absolutely loves playing with this tent. It provides hours of entertainment and I like that it switching the daily routine up a bit. We found this tent at a yard sale for 2 bucks and have loved taking it with us to the beach, on picnics, and during winter we like to put it to use every now and then inside.

We LOVE S'MORES at our house. In the winter we enjoy making them on our stove top. If you don't know what I'm talking about then....here's what you need:

Just turn the stove-top on medium and brown your mallow!

After the mallow is nice and warm put it on the graham cracker with chocolate pieces.

Sandwich together and ENJOY!
