Orange rolls cooked in oranges over a fire

Jun 16, 2010 by

First, a big giant welcome to all the new users from Pinterest and Pillsbury.  I hope you enjoy TrulySimple and let me know what you think.

We Went camping with our friends to Pismo Beach state park over the weekend and had a great time.  We love Pismo Beach and especially love eating at Splash’s Cafe.  They have the best clam chowder in the world.

I love camping and I love eating while camping.  It just all tastes better for some reason.

For breakfast on the last day, we tried out something fun with the kids and created some great orange rolls that we cooked inside of oranges over the fire.  My wife got this recipe from a friend and we through we would try it out, and it turned out great.

You will need:

  • Oranges
  • Pillsbury Grands! Orange Flavor Rolls
  • A Camp fire

Madison was my little helper for this and she did a great job.

Cut the oranges in half.

DISCLAIMER #1: No children were harmed in the making of these orange rolls.  Yes kids can use knives safely when supervised by adults.

scoop out the insides

DISCLAIMER #2: All of the orange bits we scooped out were eaten and not wasted.

Grab the Pillsbury Grands! Orange Flavor Rolls and put one in each orange half.

Once the rolls have risen pull them off of the fire.  Watch that they don’t burn if you have a hot fire.

Now you eat them and enjoy the morning campfire.

These were a big hit with all the kids as well as the adults.  We were all clamoring to eat these as we sat around the morning campfire.

Try these next time you are camping

Thanks for all the comments on this post but WOW some of them are crazy!  Again, all parts of the oranges were eaten and no children cut off their limbs while helping make them.

    Yes you can wrap them in foil and place them in hot coals as well.  I haven’t done it but I’ve seen it done.

    just found this and really people are complaining about wasting oranges and using a knife. I guess it’s great to hear that they don’t waste anything and their garbage men must love them for never having garbage since they don’t waste anything (was that enough sarcasm?)

    My kids are 18, 14 and 10 and learned at 3 to use a butter knife, then a sharp knife. I’m not having kids that can’t use utensils or know how to cook. My 14 yr old loves to bake and bakes without me hovering now because she knows how to use everything responsibly. Oh my dad taught my 18 yr old to weld when he was 5 and my 10 yr old learned how to change brakes and oil when he was that age (not that I’m letting him work on my car but he was shown how to do these things) Kids need to learn things instead of expecting everything to be done for them their whole life.

    Although I was never big into cooking as a kid, I was huge into crafts. I’ve been using exacto knives since I was 9. Once I accidentally sliced open the vein in the palm of my hand and had to get stitches, but not only did I survive, I learned how to treat sharp objects with respect. Cuts build character.

    The worst kichen injury I ever got was with a butter knife while using it to try to peel a banana. I stabbed myself to the bone with the dull point. But I survived that injury by making myself a splint out of a tinker toy to keep pressure on the wound. I was 8 and if I had told my mom I needed more than a bandaid I would have been on my way to the er in minutes. Girl Scouting taught me a lot about what to do in an emergency so I did it. Kids can handle knives, ovens, fires, etc. at a fairly young age with supervision. I was making a banana sandwich. If the stove or a sharp knife had been involved my mom would have been at my side. Next time I made a banana sandwich mom gave me a plastic knife and was right there. I’ve never cut myself with a sharp knife because I have been taught how to use one from age 7 or so. I worked in the pizza industry for 20 years and never burned myself on the ovens. I’ve never had stitches outside of surgery. Because my mom and Scouting taught me the correct ways to use kitchen tools starting at a young age.
