Campfire cooking classes now offer healthful foods

The next time you take a campfire cooking class at one of Florida’s State Park, you might notice a lot more healthful food options.

The Florida Department of Health and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection have launched the Healthy Campfire Cooking Program.

The program offers Florida’s park visitors healthy campfire recipes and the opportunity to learn safe campfire preparation and cooking skills through classes led by state park rangers.

Recipe options include Mexican chicken and bean packets, campfire vegetable medley and herbed salmon.

Each recipe is accompanied by nutrition information and suggested activities to help offset the calories of each meal.

You can check out the program for yourself at the next Cast Iron Campfire Cooking class this afternoon at 5 at the state park on St. George Island.
