    We go camping A LOT (We'e leaving Thurs for our next trip hehe).

    I take....

    Jennie O Lean Turkey Burgers
    Whole WHeat Rolls
    Fat Free Hot Dogs
    Fat Free Pringles
    Cheddar Chex Mix (for campfire snacking lol)
    I make low fat Mac Salad
    Low fat Tater Salad

    For breakfasts I make egg beater omelets (with ff cheese & onion), turkey bacon and wheat toast.

    WATER, and lots of it.

    When we go next weekend.. I'm making a big pot of sloppy joe (made with lean ground turkey).... I make it ahead of time so that while we're there all I have to do is warm it up :).

    HAVE FUN! :D

    Oh I donno...You can TOTALLY add these in as your treat. I do! I have one gram cracker, 1/4 of a piece of chocolate, 1 marshmallow and that is my "treat" for the day. I plan for it, but wow...after being good for days, this is my fun item. Just plan it and limit!

    I can't wait to hear how your trip went! YEY FOR YOU on a FUN adventure!
