Are you a camper? I am not. I’ve camped a few times in my life and have not had enjoyable experiences any of those times… until now. Have you tried “glamping”? Glamping is another word for glamorous camping. I decided to try my hand at glamping and see if I had a better time spending time outside glamorously than the normal camping experiences I’ve endured.

It was… fun! It was a lot of work to set up. I’m not going to lie. And I am not going to lie and tell you we went somewhere exotic to for our glamping experience. We did not. Having a three year old who is very very active and who also only sleeps good in his own bed, we decided to create our glamping experience right in our front yard. That way, I had running water, electricity AND indoor plumbing. Wink wink. Oh – and my three year old could sleep in his own room!

I headed to Walmart and bought some of the glamping supplies we needed including Honey Maid Graham Crackers and Freschetta® Brick Oven.

We set up our tent and got to work making it more glamourous. I brought out one of my favorite white leopard print blankets. It is SO soft and so luxurious, I knew that sleeping on an air mattress plus being

 

covered in this blanket would make my night’s sleep relaxing. We also hung light, airy, white curtains in the back of the tent as well as the front of the tent to give the tent more of a luxurious feel.

This is the view from our bed. The tent has an open air feeling as the top of it is just see through screen (you can cover it if it rains). I was so relaxed seeing the palm trees overhead!

On the entryway leading into the tent, we used an outdoor rug that is both visually appealing and also practical as I don’t like walking barefoot in the grass. So we could go from inside the chairs outside without having to walk on any grass.

And then we added both real candles and battery operated candles both on the inside and outside of the tent. (The candles inside the tent were all battery operated – no fire hazards for us! 😉 )

At night, we hung a strand of white lights to give us a bit more light.

Once we had our tent set up, we got to work on the food. I’ve never really associated Freschetta® Brick Oven® pizzas with grilling out before but now that we’ve grilled it, we will definitely do this again. Freschetta® Pizza has a crust that is made like fresh baked bread with only natural yeast and no chemical leaveners. It is topped with the most premium ingredients including sauce made from real tomatoes, 100% real cheese and the highest quality meats. You must try Freschetta® Naturally Rising Pizza while #glamping if you haven’t already!

Grilling the pizza gave it a bit of a grilled flavor and really kicked up the regular flavors of the pizza!

I do have to state that we covered the entire bottom of the grill with tin foil, however, you do not need to do this.

I made a butter dipping sauce to go along with the pizza. I used a half a stick of butter and added about ¼ Teaspoon of Garlic and about ¼ Teaspoon of Italian Herbs. The sauce was perfect for dipping our pizza into.

For dessert, I wanted to make a reliable dessert that most people associate camping with – S’Mores. However, I wanted to kick it up a notch. I made Peanut Butter Chocolate S’Mores Dip.

In a cast iron skillet, I started with chocolate bars and peanut butter.

Once the chocolate melted, I topped it with marshmallows.
