Campground Kitchen Fun

July 31, 2013 by Crystal McClean

We’re still enjoying the longest heatwave in seven years here in the UK.  It’s fantastic to spend so much time feeling the sun on our skin.  When we are looking for a little shade, or taking shelter from the thunderstorms this week, we move to our indoor tent.  With this in mind, I am featuring a few food items for the campground this week; some for eating, some for playing.  I have had lots of fun browsing through the whopping 126 fabulous ideas shared last week with Mom’s Library!

To see all of the great ideas submitted, be sure to check out last week’s Mom’s Library where I focused on summer sensory play.

Check out last week’s Mom’s Library featuring parenting advice as well as many other awesome ideas!

Learn-Play-Imagine is having great and colourful fun with some kitchen staples:

Giant Kool Aid Eruptions

Now that your morning activity is done, here’s one for the afternoon from DIY With Grant and Kiley.

Crystal & Co. have made some great-looking S’mores pops.  I like that these can be made ahead of time.

And here’s another version of S’mores from Reading Confetti, but this time they are frozen and there are also some good camping books reviewed:

Keeping with the chocolate theme, Stuffed Veggies shares a recipe for breakfast ice cream!

And if you’d like something a little more traditional, but with a twist, try Mommynificent’s colourful oatmeal.  A far cry from our packets we used while camping!

While you’re out on the trail, be sure to forage some blackberries to make this upside-down cake from True Blue Baking.

      They are a great idea, aren’t they? I think we’ll have to try them out as well.

      It almost makes me want to go camping! But I think the tent currently in our front room will have to do – and there’s no reason to go with all these ideas to make at home.

    Thank you so, so much Crystal for featuring my Spiced Blackberry Upside Down Cake. I can not tell you how much it means to me as a new blogger to be featured, it is priceless! Also a huge thank you for hosting such a great link party every week!

      It’s my pleasure, Raven 🙂 I’m seriously keeping my eye on the hedges so hubby can go out foraging the parks and countryside for blackberries! Please come back often and share your great ideas with us! Happy baking!

      Until this week I only knew of one way to make them! I’ve been missing out, and I’m glad I could share these great ideas with you 🙂

    What a fun round up! Thanks for including our frozen s’mores!

      They do look great! I think a S’more buffet is in order to try the different kinds…I have the ingredients on my grocery list already 🙂
