Campfire Cones

Ingredients
sugar cones
mini marshmallows
chocolate chips
coconut (sweetened & flaked)
 
 
 
 
Now I have seen other versions of these but none of them were that appealing to me.  So on our last camping trip I bought fillings I knew my whole family would like.  And boy were they yummy!
 
Fill a cone with a little of everything, wrap in tin foil and place it (upwright) on top of the hot coals in the fire.  Flip over after 1-2 minutes to melt the other side.  Carefully retrieve the cone and let cool for a minute or two.  Then unwrap and enjoy!
 
Caution: Do NOT place in a blazing fire.  They will quickly burn!

Eggs In A Mug!

This is a fun and easy way to cook scrambled eggs, especially if you're only cooking for one.  I have lots of memories of my dad making eggs this way when I was small.  My earliest memory I wasn't old enough to talk, but remember holding my plate out to ask for more.  Crazy how we can remember things from so long ago! 
 
Ingredients
eggs
milk
butter
salt & pepper
 
Put all the ingredients into a mug and whisk with a fork. 
 
 Use 1 Tbsp. milk per egg and a pad of butter per mug.  A regular size coffee mug can hold 2 large eggs.  Remember it will expand as it cooks.  Add a pinch of salt and pepper if you'd like.  Then cover with a paper towel or napkin and cook on high in the microwave for about two minutes.  If you only use one egg, it will take less time.  Try a minute and then check it. 
 
I like a bit of shredded cheddar cheese on top.  Green onions are great, too!
 
Let cool for a minute or two and ENJOY!
