Well, maybe it really is the eating, but cooking is how we get to munching down on goodies with our best friends!
Here is a page dedicated to our favorite recipes and cooking styles. I have shamelessly taken many recipes from the Recipes Chapter in the memory book, "Back to Hidden Valley" which was edited by Tedra Ashely. Others are taken from various camp sources. I hope everyone will forgive me for such blatant plagery. I hope you enjoy all the tastey things you come across here!
