Camping Recipes

You could make some turkey burger patties and freeze them - they should keep for a couple days in the cooler if they are frozen when you go.

Some fruit and veg that travel well.
Healthy muffins (great for breakfast with a slice of cheddar)

Sorry, not much help but the last time I went camping the major food group was alcohol :drinker:

Graham cracker + large marshmallow + chocolate square = pure joy

We did steak kabobs last time we went camping. I made the kabobs with just steak. I stored them in the Yetti. I bought some of that cooked rice in the foil bag. It was really yummy. I just added a little water and heated it in a skillet. I've heard that campfire baked sweet potatoes or baked potatoes are good. You can get a camping pop corn poper to use instead of eating a bunch of marshmallows. I brought a big bag of cut up veggies, like broccoli and squash, to sauté or steam. I also brought a container of cut up fruit. Some brands on pork and beans are pretty good too.

Sounds like the way we camp. :laugh:

Seriously, fruit, vegs, protein bars so you can have a treat while everyone else is eating sweets. We grill chicken, turkey dogs (no bun), grilled vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil, cereal and milk for breakfast. I don't know if you have a camper, or a site with electricity, or if you rough it (we do) but take your own cooler with your own healthy stuff. Hot air popcorn is a good bet too. We also take deli meat and do sandwiches everyday for lunch, whole wheat bread and no mayo, easy on the cheese for me, lots of tomato and lettuce.
Another thing to keep in mind, although you don't want to rely on this wholly, is that you expend a lot more energy camping, since you have to truck the dishes to the slop sink, walk to the shower and the bathroom, carry heavy stuff around, set up, take down, and then recreate if you're not exhausted from the rest.
Have fun and don't worry too much about it. If you have a few cheat meals, just get back on the wagon Monday morning.

Google foil pack recipes. They are easily done on the fire. I love doing one with onions, turkey keilbasa, and peppers.

My favorite camp food is bacon. Only 45 calories per slice. There is nothing better than the smell and taste of bacon over a campfire.

When I camp, regardless of type of camping, I eat the same stuff I would eat if I was home.

Nowhere does it state when you go camping you have to eat hotdogs and potatoe chips.
Mind you I eat those at home!

Anything and everything can be cooked in a fire over a fire, near a fire or on a BBQ if you are "car camping/RVing."

Bump for later

Make these Hobo Dinner things. Get a length of foil put cubed chicken or beef along with cut up onion, carrot, potato and whatever spices you want. They taste so good. All you have to do is put them in the coals and walk away for about a half hour.
