Breakfast Burritos - Pick some up to go from your favorite local spot or make your own at home. Wrap them in tinfoil and set in the campfire to heat up.

Mountain Man Skillet Scramble - Eggs and all the goodies scrambled up together in this hearty breakfast recipe.

Mountain Pies - Use a pie iron to make melty ham and cheese sandwiches, pizza pockets, or tacos.

Campfire Kebabs - You can get creative with these - stick your favorite meats, veggies, and seasoning on a skewer and cook over the fire. Here's are a good one to get you started.
