Breakfast: I hard boiled eggs at home for a quick and easy source of protein. On most camping trips I will cook eggs there but I was camping light and didnt want to pack a pan. I also ate apples and bananas. A friend gave me a frozen hash brown that I heated in some foil on coals. I will be bringing some of those on my next trip!
Lunch: I made "unwiches" with romaine, honey roasted turkey from the deli and mayo. Sliced yellow pepper and leftover red cabbage slaw.
Dinner: Before I left I spirlized a sweet potato, zucchini and carrot. I added that with some sliced cabbage, mushrooms, onions with salt, pepper, garlic and oil wrapped in foil. Then when I was ready to eat I put it on the coals. It took about 40 mins to cook. I also roasted hot dogs, but no pictures. I made a ketchup and mustard sauce before I left to make life easier.
Snacks: Carrot sticks, cucumber, dark chocolate raisins, and home roasted almonds. And chips, but dont tell Rosie!
I ate out of a plastic baskets I got at the dollar store. I lined them with wax paper. This was Rosie's idea and it was really fun. Next time I might use double the wax paper.
I was hitching a ride with some friends so I tried really really really hard to pack light. This is one of the reasons I chopped everything at home and did not bring raw meat. I like to a have separate small cooler for raw meat so if it tries to escape I should be safe. I wanted to have an easy time cooking. I also wanted to be out of the way and not dependent on borrowing a stove. I brought just enough food and was very satisfied! One of my camping goals is going to be dutch oven cooking. My friend made some amazing peach cobbler in hers.
What do you eat camping?
