Camping- It can be done!

I should have posted this several days ago because our camping trip was in October but I had questions about it before I went so I'm sure others do as well!

I was really new to the gluten free thing when my family decided to go camping but being a good sport (and with the help of my mom) we did it without my daughter being glutened!

Things I learned:
1. Bring lots of fresh fruit everyone (even those who eat gluten) enjoy this as a fresh snack.
2. You do not have to buy specialty hot dogs as Whole Foods would make you think! Hebrew National Franks are gluten free as well as Johnsonville Bratwurst (with the exception of the Beer kind)
3. Do not attempt eating a gluten free hot dog bun or a gluten free hamburger bun unless its been warmed first! Way too hard!
4. Bring lots of alum. foil or your own grilling rack to reduce the risk of cross contamination
5. Yes S'mores are possible!!! All the graham cracker adds is a crunch the taste is in the marshmallow and chocolate!

Recipe for Gluten Free S'mores:
These are not as big as the traditional graham kind but they were just as tasty!

1. Jett Puffed Marshmallows
2. Envirokids gluten free vanilla animal cookies or gluten free gingersnaps
3. Hearshy's Chocolate bars
4. A designated gluten free marshmallow cooking stick to avoid cross contamination

The rest is easy!
