TF and camping

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
We have a tent trailer and so do all our cooking outside when we camp, either on the stove top or the BBQ. The more I get 'into' tf the more I am wondering about how and what to eat while we're camping.

So what and how do you cook when you go camping?

Bacon and eggs for breakfast with fruit.
Steak or chicken for supper with veggies or corn.
You could prepare a couple salads ahead of time. A potato salad with a vinegar based dressing will keep nicely. You could make a marinated salad too.
I wrap veggies or potatoes in foil with butter and toss them on the coals. Everything else I cook on a cast iron skillet.

We used to make bannock in a cast iron skillet over the fire. It was so yummy.

I always used to love porridge (oats) and a nice cup of tea for breakfast when camping back in the UK - anything to warm up as it was usually raining

I've gone camping a couple times TF. Oatmeal or eggs and bacon for breakfast (and of course coffee), sandwiches for lunch (meat, cheese, some veggies on ezekial bread or one time I took the nut butter from WFN) along with some fruit. For dinner I pre-made a lot and froze it flat in gallon ziploc bags. It helps keep the cooler cold until it thaws out and just reheat on stovetop when ready to eat. My menu for the last trip was:

Bratwurst (roasted over the campfire) and I can't remember what else
grilled salmon steaks with lemon and baked potatoes
Pasta bolognese (made/froze the sauce, served with rice pasta) & broccoli
Smoky lentil chili (can't recall if we had anything else with this either)

Oh and I made a batch of zucchini muffins and chocolate chip cookies for treats...though most of the cookies didn't make it past the drive up
