I have always loved sitt'in by a campfire. I even built a small campfire pit in the backyard when my sons were growing up in the suburbs (not common). Its where the boys and their friends spent countless weekend nights (best memories). One morning while everyone was asleep I made breakfast out there, feeling sure the smell of bacon would float through their bedroom windows to wake up my boys. It worked! The aromas coming off my cast iron pan, coffee warming on the coals, also lured curious neighbors who had been mowing their yards LOL. Heavenly odors of fire, bacon,eggs and fresh morning air... Who could resist?
Here at the cottage, campfires are weekly if not nightly and a favorite place to gather and cook. Naturally we go through thousands of hotdogs, s'more fixings and fresh fish, but typical to "dana" style, I like to switch things up. Before dinner one night, I thought these would be fun for guests to make and they were.
