Summer Camping Recipes

It is the simple things of life that make living worthwhile, the sweet fundamental things such as love and duty, work and rest, and living close to nature. There are not hothouse blossoms that can compare in beauty and fragrance with my bouquet of wildflowers. ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

Some of my favorite summer memories are of camping trips we took with our children when they were small.  We cooked on the fire, played on the beach and visited many museums, Forts and historical places in Michigan since the kids were very young.  This year the price of gas has kept us home, plus my sons both work full time the entire summer which makes it harder to schedule vacation time. We're lucky we live in the country where we built a fire pit and can sit around it on cool evenings. I was thinking of our camping trips last week and put together an article on using pie irons.  Each of our kids has their favorite type of pie, and I shared the recipes here:  http://oldfashionedliving.com/Pie-Iron-Cooking.html .
