We are happy to partner with Pine Mountain Firestarters and Logs. As always our opinions are always our own.
Some of my favorite moments with my kids are totally unexpected. We love living so close to the beach that we can actually enjoy it. Now that peak season has come and gone in Huntington Beach you can easily find an open fire pit for some nighttime family fun. It’s not just about sitting around the warm fire pit it’s about the imperfect moments.
I happened to snap the photos of all three of my girls on the beach with my phone. They had been playing with this one blanket and chasing each other around. The beach being windy provided the perfect opportunity to let the blanket fly with the wind. My girls were so thrilled by such a simple thing and they laughed and laughed. I don’t know about you but I celebrate any moment all three of my girls actually get along. HA! HA! 
Fires on the beach can be a little tricky so we used the Pine Mountain ExtremeStart Firestarter to easily get our fire started. The ExtremeStart Firestarter by Pine Mountain is great for indoor or outdoor use, as it lights fires and grills in minutes and lasts up to 20 minutes. The product also burns clean, meaning that your food won’t pick up any unwanted flavors.
Within minutes we had a fire that was not only able to warm us up but also added to all our night time beach fun.
When my husband and I first started dating we went camping. After we had kids that didn’t change and we’ve enjoyed spending time outdoors. One of the things that my girls always love when we go camping are fireside s’mores bananas.
Our Favorite Fireside S’mores Bananas
Ingredients
- bananas
- marshmallows
- chocolate bar
- aluminum foil
Fireside s’more bananas are so easy to make. You cut open the banana and carve out half of the actual banana inside so you can add in mar mallows and chocolate pieces. Then wrap the banana in tin foil and let it sit in the fire.
When my girls were babies my husband would always feed them their banana. It’s funny because now that they’re older they still always ask him to feed them. There’s just something so warm and delicious about wrapping up in a blanket next to the fire and enjoying a warm sweet treat. 
This summer we had such a busy summer with our move and just settling in to a new house. Now that it’s fall we’re just looking forward to more moments as a family. Even if it’s just a few hours of running around at the beach together. It’s about creating new memories and adventures. I always loved going to the beach and having bonfires and we’re really looking forward to more simple moments.

A very clever way to get some fruit in the dessert.

This looks so much fun! I will definitely try this s’mores banana!
Simple moments with our kids… there isn’t anything better than that. And these are the moments those kids will treasure and hopefully pass on to their own children one day. Great photos of the Banana S’mores and beach, too;
Oh my goodness, this sounds like heaven! I love S’mores and banana’s so putting them together is a dream come true.
I will have to try this next time we have a fire. You can’t go wrong with chocolate, marshmallow and banana.

S’mores and bananas?! GENIUS! Have never thought of this before!

I will have to pick up a Pine Mountain ExtremeStart Firestarter for our next camping trip. Smores are always a hit with my family. I will have to give this recipe a try.
Oh yum! Spending time around a fire and eating some s’mores treats is so fun. We’re probably going to get our fire pit going soon enough!
These look amazing. We love to go camping and now I know what I’m adding to my list to make.
I am going to have to get some of these for my fire pit. I am sure they would be so helpful.
You are so lucky that you live so close to the beach! If we lived that close to the beach I swear we would be there all the time. I would love to have a fire pit right there and all the sweet you made look so good.
How cool is that!? Very smart and it looks delicious! I might make these when we camp this Fall!
What a neat idea! I’ve never even heard of this before. I think it’s genius. Banana is so good with chocolate, and this is the best iteration of that I’ve ever seen!
That looks like ooey gooey goodness! I’ll have to try the Pine Mountain ExtremeStart Firestarter for my grill because it seems really easy and simple.
Ahhh! That looks absolutely amazing! I’ve never heard of S’Mores bananas before. I can’t wait to try this!
