Spring Break on the Farm and Campfire Food Galore ((3 Campfire Recipes))

We had a great Spring Break at the farm! We camped, hiked and fished to our hearts desire. Now, by camping I mean, the men-folk slept in tents while us ladies slept in the RV. After one night of rain, the boys invaded our little
