Campfire Cones (Better than S'Mores)
Waffle cones (I use the more expensive kind for better taste)
Any fillers, such as:
Blueberry pie filling,
Bananas
Marshmallows,
Reeses
Chocolate, Carmel, peanut butter chips
Carmel or chocolate syrup
Chopped nuts
Wrap cone in aluminum foil, allowing for expansion.
Grill till contents melt, turning when needed.
Whipped cream would make it even better.

Bananas in a boat
Slit banana skin to insert toppings.
See campfire cones for suggestions.
Wrap in aluminum foil.
Grill till chips melt, banana is soft, turning when needed.
Eat with spoon.

I write about what matters...to you---
women, wives and moms---
about your family, faith and future.
I write about what's hard, what helps and what heals.
I show you how it's done. And not done.
I hold your hand as you find what matters to the Savior.
And let go of those things that mattered to you, but not to Him.
I write about what matters...to Him.
