The key to cooking outdoors is not serving until everyone is starving to death! No matter what, it will be the best thing they have ever tasted!, 😁😁😁

Fabulous, another episode of Cooking with Kelly.

@bernardfleming5867 10 месяцев назад

Kelley likes cinnamon, almost looked like a bushcraft cooking class. Looks like a real nice, Florida place to go.

@danhackett4199 10 месяцев назад

You are amazing,thanks for sharing your little escape.

@extraart1 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for taking us along camping! With all the violence and the sadness in the news this morning, your video was just what I needed!

@porterbrass 10 месяцев назад

Nice video Kelly! We do a simpler hobo pie when camping and they are fantastic. Two slices of white bread. Assemble them in advance with ingredients like pizza, Philly cheesesteak w/peppers and onions, pie fillings, ham and cheese, or whatever you like. Spray the preheated (hot) pie maker with PAM. Lay the “sandwich” into the pie maker. You can then put it directly into coals, but flip the pie maker every minute and check on it after the third or fourth flip. They should never take more than 5-7 minutes. Most important thing is to open it to see how it’s doing. The amount of time really depends on how hot your fire is. Try it, you’ll love it for its simplicity and deliciousness.

I live in florida and im old now but i have been every where you go weeki wachi, hommasassa,kissimee ,and your vids take me right back to when i was young great vids enjoy!❤

@marysalmon2367 10 месяцев назад

Glad you're feeling better and getting back out there. i think you're brave to camp alone at night!

@elenadavila5636 3 месяца назад

Everytime I need to get my stress level low, I tune you in and enjoy nature. Thank you and may God always protect you!

@LisaSelvaggi 10 месяцев назад

Kelly, wanted to let you know you inspired me to do my own solo adventures. I just got back from Florida a few days ago, I spent six weeks there camping, kayaking and so on by myself! I enjoyed all of it and can not wait to do more.

@kellyhays23 10 месяцев назад

That is so awesome!!! Proud of you and so stoked you had a good time!

@johndonahue4777 10 месяцев назад

You picked the best pie iron. Who makes it? Once it gets seasoned the pies won't stick so badly. In guaging the time and distance from the fire...think toast. Not roast. The ice cream act was pretty funni. That was good too. All it needed was a teaspoon of vanilla extract. And a tree ripened peach. Then it would be a ten or eleven.

@nam_hn 10 месяцев назад

I got it! The best way to enjoy some ice cream is to do some exercises with a ball for 15 minutes.

@claramullen 10 месяцев назад

Hi kelly that is a beautiful camp spot that area is so peaceful I have been there many times. I love the ice cream maker ball that's cool. Take care ❤

@Pman-hz7tz 10 месяцев назад

Awesome video! Highlands Hammock is such a cool place.

@diamondbackking4141 10 месяцев назад

Glad to see you camping again in Florida overcoming fears ! Enjoyed it as usual. Keep up the good work !

@paavoviuhko7250 10 месяцев назад

Wonderful and creative cooking over a fire. Enjoyed seeing this.

@wildeone1636 10 месяцев назад

Good to see you outside having fun again. 🙂

@fordtruckman80 10 месяцев назад

Proud of you for getting back out there, even if it's just taking it easy. What happened at Wekiwa, especially considering your history of thru hikes all over the country, was unforeseen and I don't blame you for taking it easy the next few trips. I suffered from heat exhaustion twice back in 2008 and it took me years to get over my fear of being out in the heat. I carried a bottle of water with me everywhere I went as a safety blanket to help ease my mind. The unknown is the most terrifying part, especially since you still don't know what triggered it other than the bug bite. Your campsite this trip was beautiful, and I would love to make it out there one day just to watch the sunsets and sunrise. Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

@charlesb4267 10 месяцев назад

I have a good chuckle when you pull up to entry gates where there are personnel you interact with, you have an inviting personality for one and its pretty obvious the men enjoy giving you a hard time ( another words flirting with you ), I am sure you've had a few good laughs over some of the situations. Nice campground, I like that remote area theme and looks like you had it pretty much to yourself.

@GraceB305 10 месяцев назад

Cypress swamp is my favorite. I love Highland Hammocks.

@Myyt6908 10 месяцев назад

Nice wildlife. I liked the dinner and homemade ice cream, perfect camping meal!

@just2creative 10 месяцев назад

Just down the road from that campground is Hickory Hammocks, one of a few free campground sites owned by South Florida Water Management. Has an awesome hiking trail that I think intersects the Florida Trail. Ice cream ball...what a concept...you can play with your food before you eat it. Fun video.

@maureenmukhlis2934 10 месяцев назад

What a fantastic adventure!! That food looked really great!!! I’m sure you will perfect the timing of the pie maker. Such a fun way to spend your he evening 💗💗💗

@asmr.poetry.readerd9630 5 месяцев назад

Recently (this afternoon 😄) discovered this channel and I'm absolutely addicted. Great work Kelly, your videos are pure joyous escapism. 😃☀️

@kellyhays23 5 месяцев назад

Welcome to the channel!! Happy for you to be happy🧡

@jimmyjenkins9240 10 месяцев назад

That was a lot of fun! It is nice to see you out and feeling better.

@joankline343 10 месяцев назад

Haha 😂 i guess I have to charge my mind about Florida. Its beautiful! You're a brave young lady to camp by yourself near a wild boar and alligators. 😮 Your camping adventure looks like a lot of fun and the food looks delicious. 😋 My grandchildren would love the ice-cream ball. 😉 That would make a nice Christmas gift. Nice video! ❤ I'm glad you're feeling better and its good to see you again.

@BootsAndPearls85 10 месяцев назад

I need one of those ice cream balls! Camp cooking videos are always fun for me to watch, I've always wanted to try similar pies but haven't had the chance to yet. Yours looked delicious! This video took me back to your first solo camping adventure before you did the AT, you are much more confident and seasoned now for sure! Glad you didn't have any health issues with this trip and hopefully you'll be able to get out and do longer trips again soon.

@karlabright1196 10 месяцев назад

Having moved up to the mountains of NC recently, I do miss camping at Highlands Hammock. The N. Ga. State parks are fabulous though. 😊

@robaylmer2450 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Kelly, a beautiful video that has made me smile and set me up for the day! re-kindled my love of camping, but a very wet, windy and wild autumn here in England so it'll have to wait for the spring 😊😊😁😁🌹🌹

@ianwalker682 10 месяцев назад

Now that's a great camp site. Glad you went out and enjoyed yourself.

@ontherighttrail 10 месяцев назад

#1 favorite place to go when I get stuck in Sebring at the race track working. There or the Blue Lagoon...

@RJ-ix4co 10 месяцев назад

I hope you never experience that allergic reaction again. I had the same thing happen too me one morning when camping. I still have no idea what it was. Please please stay safe and I am sooo glad you aren’t letting that fear stop you! I did the same thing, I was back out in the woods hiking the next day, just with Benadryl lol

@813kengarcia 10 месяцев назад

It's good to see you back. You gave me inspiration for an upcoming trip, thanks!

@leedanielson7452 10 месяцев назад

Kelly, I’ve been watching you for a long time now & your videos are definitely getting better and better! Nice work! 😊❤👍👏🏻

@petranordlander8089 6 месяцев назад

That ice cream ball is majorly rad!!!

@debbieh1895 10 месяцев назад

That was a fun adventure! Thank you for taking us along, Kelly! ❤ I recently saw something about poisonous trees in Florida and I thought of you and your bad reaction to… whatever it was. I think there are two different trees that can cause some nasty problems. Not saying that this was your issue, but it bears keeping in mind when you’re out in the wilds. I’m glad you’re better and I look forward to more adventures! 😊

@dandypoint 10 месяцев назад

Another very good video. I sure enjoy these!

@richardthorne2804 10 месяцев назад

I really enjoy watching your videos and the food looked delicious 🎉. Very cool wildlife as well

@steveblindlost9424 10 месяцев назад

P5 is our favorite camping spot in HHSP. We have camped there many times. We live about 45 minutes away from there and enjoy our visits. It's so cool to see you there. Enjoy all of your videos!

@jasonk7578 10 месяцев назад

I camped at Highland Hammock last spring and I LOVED it!!! Everything about it was beautiful!!

@user-cr6sn7vm1u 10 месяцев назад

Keep getting out there and enjoy what god has created for us. Thank you for taking us along on another epic adventure Kelly. We love you and appreciate you showing us places that we may never get to see you n our lifetime. Take care and see you on the next adventure!!❤

@TooTall_hikes 10 месяцев назад

@Elizabeth-pt4bv 10 месяцев назад

This was so relaxing to watch, more work for you, but I'd love to be there and camp a few nights. Another well-done and informative video. Thanks for including us. 😊

@Sheltowee1775 10 месяцев назад

This was fun. You’ve inspired me and my daughter to try our hand at homemade calzones.

@RickINFJ 10 месяцев назад

Kelly can cook! Was literally drooling over your campfire pie ala mode! Glad your camp went off without a hitch, it was a beautiful spot. ✌️

@TeeGreen222 10 месяцев назад

While you’re loving life in my home state, I’m traveling and soaking up the Fall colors. This year it’s Virginia/Tennessee/North Carolina - and so far I’ve done McAfee Knob and the Grayson Highlands. Hoping to hike from Indian Grave Gap to Beauty Spot this week. The BEST part is….I’m hiking with a local / new friend who I met this time last year on Roan Mountain. Next week it’s Hot Springs NC! I’m 61 - gotta keep these old bones moving! Girl that burnt crust looked soooo delicious! That ice cream ball will make a great Christmas gift for the grandkids! Great video, thanks!

@carolwerner3881 10 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed the video. Just loved the cooking and ice cream making! I bet the apple pie and ice cream was sooo good. We've been wanting to go to this park so thanks for the sneak peek🌟its fun watching you make it such fun!

@trevdevadventures 10 месяцев назад

We probably were there at the same time. Too funny 😂. 🔥🆙

@trevdevadventures 10 месяцев назад

I was at 109, I like yours a lot better. Thanks for sharing

@starman9458 10 месяцев назад

It’s been a decade since I’ve been to Florida and I may make a return someday and your cooking is incredible!

@JCandCo. 10 месяцев назад

Nice video, Kelly! I’ll have to try that calzone recipe next time out. I wonder if you cooked them in foil vs the molds if they would be less prone to burning? Dunno, just a thought. Cooking over a fire can be frustrating sometimes, lol. Looked yummy nonetheless! State park looked very nice. Stay safe and keep on keepin’ on!😎🥾

@jimweagant8920 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the good video 👍👍

@keithmcclanahan9158 10 месяцев назад

Fun times. I’m going to try both pie iron recipes on our next camping trip. Thanks

@ralphp3057 9 месяцев назад

Very cool video. I was camping there in August. Love the bicycle riding around park! Also trail into Sebring from park. 28 mile bicycle ride including around the lake . Thanks for sharing your camping trip ! 😁👍

@irenecarter2075 10 месяцев назад

Live inHighland Co myself. Love Hammock park! My sister and I camped at the Olive orchard near Brooksville last Dec after your recommendation. It was awesome too. Just booked us a glamping tent/trip straight Notrh over in Lake Wales at Kissimmee State park. Something so peaceful about camping. Great video! 😊

@thomasbrandon5111 10 месяцев назад

@charlesjohnson9662 10 месяцев назад

@jimscott2998 10 месяцев назад

Koool✅. , the pie looked terrific, things can be so much more when you’re not alone. It’s always important to share those experiences with someone else 💕

@alexander1941 10 месяцев назад

Surely u have 1 friend who would have camped with you. I was surprised that ball worked as well as it did. Never made homemade ice cream without churning my arm off! 😊

@GeorgeBeck100 10 месяцев назад

Perfect campsite, lovely place, food looked scrummy, thanks for the great foodie ideas, glad to see you getting back into nature Kelly 🙏😍

@GabrielDoesOutdoors 10 месяцев назад

I'm going to eventually try cooking some of those pastries and it's good to know not to put them so close to the coals XD. Great video, Kelly! The new camera is kickin ass.

@BOBSCOTTONLINE 10 месяцев назад

love the hobo pie maker - nice to have 4 way as us kids always had to wait with a single sandwich unit - may do better/faster in the coals but ya gotta check on 'em just the same. Kudos on getting out there - hard to push though when something spooks you like that.

@sebastianramos4993 10 месяцев назад

I almost stayed at the same park last weekend!

@kellyfromiowa1849 10 месяцев назад

Ahhh.... fond memories of you hiking the Florida trail. A great video as always.

@randybeeson3424 10 месяцев назад

I love this. Your next calzone and pie will be better. Never saw an ice creme ball that's cool . I'll bet you get recipes from Dome life Kelly. Oh last May my daughter had an allergic at Ginnie Springs camping. Her lips and tongue was swelling so we called an ambulance. Never knew what triggered it but she got released later that night and continued with the camp.

@severecracker3640 10 месяцев назад

Awesome video new camera is working well. I know Highlands Hammock very well It’s about an hour from me. I have a pic of my mother from 1949 of her standing on the catwalk. Nice place to go. I hope you clear out the webs of your medical scare. There is lots for you to see and do in the area

@chrissaunders8284 10 месяцев назад

I think you captured Big Foot on the road at 4:48. Thank you for this very mellow video. Is your freezer still stuffed with halibut?

@BackpackingFlorida 10 месяцев назад

Quite a good & chill back on the horse, video. The weather has been great lately.

@Camaro-kevin 10 месяцев назад

That’s a neat way to make ice cream, I usually do it in a mason jar with strawberries and put it in the freezer overnight. This way I know what’s in it.

@carlosherndon8908 10 месяцев назад

I always loved highlands hammock one of my favorites along with myakka river st park. If you are ever up around Palatka Ravine Gardens St Park during Jan-Apr when the azealas are blooming is super pretty. Up in the panhandle of north florida a smaller park that is kind of cool is Falling Waters state park with Florida's only natural waterfall a 73foot fall where a sinkhole opened up beneath a creek.

@MudFlap62 10 месяцев назад

That park looked awesome. I got bit to hell by those damn no see um bugs last time I camped in Florida.

@BillStraub303 8 месяцев назад

@KevinPhillips-xd7lr 10 месяцев назад

Great to see you back, and doing OK Kelly! You're "shooting ice cream ball hoops" made me laugh. Thanks.

@georgeball1147 10 месяцев назад

Haven't done highlands hammock yet, nice place to see stars I've heard. Big deer herds there too.

@JoeandEmmaLee 10 месяцев назад

Such an awesome camp ground!! Also amazed you did that ice cream on your own this time 😂

@bsfishing7073 10 месяцев назад

😮you’re a really amazing cook I love watching your adventures I have a few more things left in Florida and then I’ll moving away from Florida but I have learned a lot from watching your adventures

@davidbalderston2751 10 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed this video. I think you have an amazing personality too.

@user-David-Alan 10 месяцев назад

That was a cool park. So nice to see you out in your natural environment among the palms. The panini press sandwiches looked awesome and the ice cream looked yummy. Thanks for the video and was that with the new camera? I worry about you being out there by yourself so please be careful. Did you find help for your dog? Wherever you are stay well and be happy.

@itsyourboyroy 8 месяцев назад

I recently moved down to Florida and I watched your weeki wachee video since then you've been popping up on my RU-vid so I've watched a few more..so I was like let me leave a comment because she said it helps out the channel..I believe ice cream has that many ingredients for it to be able to sit on the shelf longer anything you make fresh has way less ingredients...do you not carry protection from wild life I mean that's fine if you dont believe in the second amendment but there's mace, sling shot, bow and arrow obviously a knife ,paint ball gun something I hope...I laughed when you said wonder if they smell my food uuummm ya of course they do...25 minutes 25 minutes for prepared crescent rolls come do better still looked good though..hey I also like things burnt..well thanks for making these videos talk about having some balls camping out in Florida..have a wonderful day
