What Should I Take To Eat While Camping?

One of the great things about camping is the constant picnic-type atmosphere. We actually eat healthier on our camping trips than we do at home, since we take time to prepare good meals rather than eating fast food takeout.

Since you can pack just about anything in your car, your camping menu can be pretty elaborate if you choose. With a good ice chest, a two- or three-burner stove, a grill, and a few utensils, you can pretty much cook anything you would normally cook at home. The best thing is to plan your menu for the trip before you leave, so that you can purchase and/or pack all the necessary ingredients for your meals. Take bottled water to use for cooking and for drinking. And then just let your imagination run wild.

A typical day's menu might looks something like this:

Breakfast:
· Cereal (hot or cold)
· Breakfast bars
· Fruit
· Coffee

Lunch:
· Sandwiches
· Chips
· Fruit
· Cookies
· Soft Drinks or Beer

Dinner:
· Grilled Chicken
· Green Beans
· Long grain and wild rice
· Bread
· Wine
· Cookies

Snacks: Fresh fruit, peanut butter and crackers, sunflower seeds, trail mix, and of course, SMORES!
