Campfire Food: Roughing it (but not really)

Half the fun of camping is anticipating your meals, isn’t it?

You set your menus ahead, shop for ingredients and pack the gear — all the while strategizing how t0 carry, wash and waste as little as possible.

But the deliciousness factor really counts: there’s nothing more satisfying than eating awesome-tasting food that’s just been pulled from the fire. Somehow, you love your designated chef that much more in that moment.

Well, here are some easy, ingenious campfire recipes from how2heroes, their finger ever on the pulse. My #1 favorite is the “Campfire Eggs in an Orange.” But, if you’ve got pie irons (I don’t; note to self and husband), you’d be crazy to pass up these pizza and apple-pie treats.
