Greetings & Welcome to another weekly newsletter. Did you know Scouts are always hungry, and many of them even enjoy cooking new and crazy things? Stop laughing at me!

 

Maybe they would like to try out this recipe for “Pizza on the Coals.”

heavy-duty aluminum foil & a spoon

One package of pita bread

One small can of pizza or spaghetti sauce

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

pizza toppings to taste

 

Cut pita in half and spoon sauce into the pocket, spreading evenly. Add mozzarella cheese and toppings. Wrap in foil and place on coals. Cook 1.5 minutes on each side until warm and cheese is melted. MMMM is so good!
