Haylie Duff's Real Girls Kitchen

It’s time to go Glamping! Not camping – “glamping” – the stylish way to camp, with luxurious surroundings and fabulous food. But still out in the wilderness, of course. So with girlfriends Nikki Erwin and Jessica Szohr, Haylie prepares a delectable Brie with Thyme and Maple Syrup, Creamy Short Ribs and Wild Mushroom Stew. As the sun sets behind the hills, the girls enjoy fire–melted S’mores Cones loaded with all of their favorite toppings.
