Food for Campouts

posted on: Tuesday, June 9, 2009

We went camping this weekend down at Big Sur. It was so fabulous and fun to be with friends in such a beautiful place. We were lucky to get a camp ground at Plaskett Creek. the camp host there is my new BFF, she made our lives so much easier. I think Enzo is to blame for her generosity with us.

On Saturday Silvia and Justin, our friends, were in charge of food. Justin is a pro-car camper and made us really good meals. My favorite dish was this easy banana recipe.


  1. Cut the bananas and stuff them with chocolate chips.
  2. Cover them with tin foil and place over fire to grill for about 5-10 minutes
  3. Remove the banana from heat and mix the banana pulp and the melted chocolate together.
  4. Eat! so good. Makes me want to to camping again.

    I love these banana boats! I used to have them every summer as a kid when I went off to camp. So much fun and so delicious! YUMMY!

    My mom makes those and I love them. I tried to do them last time and I didn't realize tin foil burns so easily. Yuck. What a waste of perfectly good CHOCOLATE!

    Great idea! We roast foil covered apples over campfires and then peel off the skin when soft (carefully of course!) and then dip into butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. These chocolate banana's sound like they'd go well with my apples!

    next time add mini marshmallows and it will be even better. You can also core an apple, add brown sugar and raisins and foil cook. Or scoop an orange out, leave the rind intact and fill with cake batter, foil cook. I camped alot as a kid so I have millions of these ideas. Hope you had fun camping.
