Preparing Camping food and Meals

I think it's a good idea to pack everything including your food the night before leaving. It always seems to take longer if you wait until the day you leave for the campground. If you live in an area where you don't feel that your items will be safe overnight in/on your vehicle, at least have it all ready to go the night before. If you have everything ready beforehand, all you'll have to do is get up, have breakfast, throw the equipment in the car and go. Easy as 1-2-3.

This Is One Of My Favorite camping recipies

Preparing Your Food For - easy camping meals

You can get tired of sandwiches after awhile so having some great tasting easy camping meals is a must when going camping. Camping out. Try the recipes at home first to see if your family likes them.

Use paper plates & cups (not plastic) that can be burned in campfire

Buy block ice, instead of cubes to keep things cool, it lasts a lot longer. Block ice can be hard to find in some areas so make your own - make one or several large cubes at home (using old milk or plastic containers filled with water)

Make sure you have enough fuel for the camp stove for the entire trip

Plan your meals now don’t wait until after you get there

Pre-chop vegetables at home (the night before the trip) and store them in zip lock bags, prepackaged bags 'o salad from the grocery is a great way to get your fresh leafy veggies

If you intend to carry cheese, grate the cheese ahead of time or buy pre-grated packages (put in cooler)

Buy Pringles canned potato chips - so they won't get crumbled

Put your bread in a box - so it won't get crushed

Carry only pancake batter that mixes with water. (no eggs or milk needed)

Put only beverages in the cooler that will be consumed on the first day refill every night

Corn on the cob is a real camping favorite. Wrap the on cob in heavy foil 3-4 times for cooking on the fire & rotate often, you can sprinkle a little salt on it before cooking also.

Camping can be the the best family experience of your life or the worst. Planning is a big key to camping bliss.
