HAPPINESS OVER A FLAME: If you can find a dry spot to pitch a tent, or park a camper, the Pennsylvania Parks & Forest Foundation has something which may catch your interest.

The agency has released a printable brochure with tasty recipes to use while camping. There’s more to be had than mountain pies and Smores.

The brochure includes “easy and delicious campground recipes,” that are intended to make your camping trip a little easier, a note at the front of the brochure states.

Below we share the recipes for dinner and dessert. Check out the brochure, available at https://uswpm12.newsmemory.com/bradfordera/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2021/07/camp_recipe_booklet.1d3f820c83bfa9ddcc4a0683318a74d5.pdf for more.

Tortilla Pizzas

You’ll need:

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

4 ounces tomato paste (preferably in a squeeze tube)

8 8-inch flour tortillas

½ pound mozzarella cheese, grated

Preferred toppings

Then, spread tomato paste on tortillas. Sprinkle with herbs and add cheese and toppings.

Warm each tortilla in a non-stick pan over moderate heat until the cheese melts.

Here’s the recipe for Sore Thumbs:

You’ll need:

A can of crescent rolls

Filling (apple, blueberry, cherry pie filling, pudding or the fixings for pizza)

Spray a clean, unpainted broom handle with cooking spray. Wrap one crescent roll around the top, then start with another where you left off, until all rolls are on the handle.

Cook over the fire until golden brown.

Remove from handle carefully and fill with preferred filling.

Enjoy!
