Camping food idea??

Camping with a camper and cooler or roughing it - backpacking/camping ?

Fresh pasta is always good as it cooks quickly.

Also tin of mixed beans, tin of tuna, chopped red onion all mixed together and some lemon juice and pepper poured over it all and served with salad and crusty bread has always gone down well with my lot.

Make ahead breakfast burritos – whole wheat tortilla, scrambled eggs (more whites than yolk to make them lower in fat), salsa, veggies and cheese then wrap individually tightly in foil and freeze. When you take camping, leave in the cooler then throw onto the hot coals to warm up.

Some of the other things I make sure to bring when I camp:
- Fresh fruit
- Precut veggies
- Nuts (almonds, cashews)
- Dried fruits (apricots, raisins, figs, dates)

Another thing I have been making is oatmeal banana breakfast bars / cookies (with apple sauce and WW flour). They would be perfect to eat at room temperature or wrapped in foil over the fire for a quick easy snack.

we are going in a couple of weeks and we were planning on making chicken kabobs to take and turkey spinach burgers. I was alo going to bring multi grain chips and nuts

I'm with the pasta, and well.. anything you can barbecue. We went camping with friends of ours, and they brought their crockpot, and did meatless lasagna in there-- and worked out perfectly. Also, make up a batch of chili before you go, and put that ( or spaghetti sauce, anything else you might need just warmed up) in to a large ziploc bag and freeze it. When you're out, pop the ziploc bag in your pot with some water in it to heat it up a bit, ( over a fire or bbq) After a bit, dump your water and our your chili in your pot, and you're good to go. Plus, when it's frozen, it acts as a cold bag for your other stuff in your cooler!

Love breakfast when camping.

Eggs -- this is a good opportunity to empty the fridge before you leave on your trip. Dice up the extra luncheon meat, leftovers, etc. Throw them in a gallon-sized baggie with some eggs. Add cheese, peppers, green onions, whatever. Shake well. Pour straight from the baggie to your camping skillet. Throw away baggie. Simple.

Potatoes. -- Dice up some potatoes. Throw them in a gallon-sized baggie a couple days before leaving so they soak up all that garlic and onion taste.. Add a little olive oil, garlic, onions, salt and pepper. Shake well. Pour straight from the baggie to your camping skillet. Throw away baggie. Simple.

Chicken -- Throw them in a gallon-sized baggie a couple days before leaving. Drizzle olive oil in the baggie. Pour your favorite rub or spices in the baggie. Shake well. Pour straight from the baggie to your grill Throw away baggie. Simple.

Bloody Marys -- Take a 1/2 full bottle of Bloody Mary Mix. Add lemon juice. Add tobasco. Add Worchestershire sauce. Fill with Vodka. Throw some celery sticks in a (you guessed it) gallon-sized baggie. Pour Bloody Mary Mix into plastic cups filled with ice. Stir with celery sticks. Throw away baggie. Throw away empty Bloody Mary Bottle. Simple.

Take a nap.

Cut up lots of different fruits and veggies before you go. Use them is salads, cook or for snacking. Chicken, Fish, Turkey burgers. Lots of bottled water. Baked potatoes, Sweet Potaotes. PB and J. Low charb breads. Whole grain cereal and low fat milk. Eggs. Flavored rice cakes, Marshmallows, Dark choc, and low fat Graham crackers.

I love camping! Im not too outdoorsy but recently gotten into it! I love grilled edamame, or any grilled veggie! Fat free hotdogs grilled with wheat buns, turkey pattys for hamburgers, baked chips and salsa dip, fresh carrot sticks for snacks and grill a bannana instead of doing marshmellows.. its yummy!
