It's time to get creative! We can't have fires at girl's camp this year so I'm looking for no-bake recipes. It is hard trying to find recipes that don't require a campfire! I've found a few so far and they seem pretty good... feel free to share any other recipes you may have. We only need to plan for three nights. Luckily, the stake is handling the food so it's just treats, yum!
