Camp Food!

Corn, potatoes and onions 
What an amazing summer its been for me and my family. We have been camping twice and want to hit the woods one more time before fall comes swooping in. We love camping as a family, playing in the woods together and enjoying downtime away from the ongoing noise of life.
My favorite part of camping is cooking in the fire, feeling connected to my food on such a primal level. Starting a fire, bringing the coals to that perfect temperature, gently placing corn, potatoes and onions right in the coals, delicious!!
There is a flavor that is brought out of food cooking this way which the element of fire brings forth. Food is steamed on the inside to tender perfection and blackened and crispy on the outside.
There is nothing like a sweet onion cooked in the red embers, peeling back the charred layers to expose the translucent core. Utter perfection!
I suggest you try it next time you go camping or have a fire in your back yard.
