Family Glamping Weekend – Grilled Pizza and Raspberry S’mores

A few months ago my little girl had a brilliant idea… camping trip! She wondered with her sweet little voice about all things related to camping; “Will we sleep in a tent?” “Can we roast marshmallows” “Will we make a fire?” It all sounds so magical to a little child… and me too! All except for the sleeping on the ground thing. I just can’t deal. I’m not into camping – I glamp!

For me, glamping means packing a few essentials, stopping at a store for some simple supplies, then rolling into a beautiful camp site with a cabin and a BED. Yessss sir. That’s the camping life for me!

Last weekend my family and I enjoyed a weekend in lovely and quiet Ohio Amish country.

My girl was super excited for her first glamping experience! Pink, fuzzy boots were completely appropriate attire.

And I was excited for this real bed!

Such a sweet little cabin in the middle of no where! I was thrilled to have heat, air conditioning, and a pretty ceiling fan.

The End of Fall

We’re just wrapping up the autumn season and the very last of the leaves are about to give up and fall to the ground. Soon these trees will glisten with fresh, white, cleansing snow. This vineyard will slip into a quiet, winter dormancy before waking from its sleep to produce sweet grapes again next summer.

Important Childhood Memories

Where we live in the city there isn’t a whole lot of room for my little one to roam. Glamping in the country provides the perfect opportunity for her to wander and feel free. She enjoyed climbing rocks, collecting rocks, throwing rocks… well, anything with rocks!

Glamping provides plenty of outdoor time for my little one to plat ball, run around freely, be as loud as she wants, play with the leaves, stalk small wildlife, and ask one million questions about everything new she saw. Priceless moments.

Note my daughters little collection of the “most beautiful rocks ever.”

It’s All About the Food

One of my favorite things about glamping is food. I enjoy cooking everything outside over fire. There is something so tactile and connected about the experience of cooking simple food outside without the use of electricity.

Since my glamping experience most certainly involves yummy food that is simple to prepare, I really like the Freschetta® Brick Oven Roasted Mushrooms and Spinach Pizza cooked on the grill.

It’s so easy to prepare a Freschetta® Brick Oven Pizza on the grill and the flavor is just amazing.

• Preheat grill on high for at least 5 minutes
• Remove pizza from carton and clear overwrap film
• Place double layer aluminum foil large enough to cover the bottom of the pizza on center of grill
• Place pizza on foil in center of grill
• Turn grill to low and cook for 13 to 16 minutes with lid closed
• Let pizza stand 2 minutes before serving

Note: weather conditions such as wind or extreme cold can affect the cook times.

 Dinner outside by the fire… so relaxing!

Sweet S’Mores

When glamping, S’mores are essential. I adore a perfectly toasted marshmallow that is completely melted inside, surrounded by rich, creamy chocolate and paired with the crunch of a nutty graham cracker. Delish!

Since this glamping experience was all about rugged meets glam, I decided to go for the same with my s’mores. And so was created Raspberry S’mores.

I make these Raspberry S’mores with graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, fresh raspberries, chocolate hazelnut spread, and this beautifully simple raspberry sauce:

To make glamping extra cozy, be sure to bring along soft blankets and puffy pillows. We bundled up and enjoyed the sunset as the wind chimes rang out their soothing songs.

I hope this inspires you to book a cabin or even just pitch a tent in the back yard and make some memories with you family!
