This may be the best part of your camping experience with your kids. Break out the Dutch ovens and the cooking skewers and I'm sure that your family will have a great time. The fire itself will grab your children's attention, but just be careful with them around the fire. Sometimes children tend to add things to a fire that doesn't need to grow any larger. The first thing is dinner. With a Dutch oven a family can make all sorts of stews and dishes that are exciting to make and eat. But the best things to cook for dinner are things that the kids can take a hand in. Your best dish in the Dutch Oven may not compare to the burnt hotdog that your 9 year old boy cooked with his skewer. He will probably brag all night long about his superb cooking abilities and tell his friends later.
But the real treats are the desserts. The S'more is the ultimate when it comes to cooking around the fire. Take a marshmallow, that is roasted to a black crisp by your child smash it between two graham crackers and add a piece of chocolate - magic. There are also many other dishes that you can make with a hobo pie maker. Just search around online for some ideas. But the key is to be creative and to let your children take part in the cooking.
