June is national Camping Month, so we moved the Kids in the Kitchen to the great outdoors this month with our Kids on the Grill recipes!! These easy recipes can be done inside, but why would you? There is a great big old world out there waiting for you to conquer it.
You’re going to get hungry with all that conquering so you’ll need a delicious snack. And learning to cook over a campfire or in the backyard is a great way to enjoy the outdoors with your family and friends. The food might even taste BETTER in the fresh air!
Ask your adult to start a fire (or the grill), hang out in the fresh air and see who can make the best banana boat!!
