 In
order to have an enjoyable camping trip it is important to plan ahead.
This includes determining your menu in advance. If you do this you
will find that meal time will be an easy task and that you can get
plenty of help from the kids.
Start by taking two
coolers. One for food and perishable items and the other to hold
all drinks. Fill your cooler with meat, fish and chicken and then
defrost based on the most perishable items first. Cook food on the
grill.
Supplement meat with
salads, and veggies. Small canned potatoes are great for grilling.
Purchase boxes of rice or noodles that just need boiling water.
Macaroni and Cheese and/or Penne in pesto sauce or marinara sauce are
easy dishes to prepare Be sure to freeze sauces and defrost as
needed.
Fresh fruit, S'mores,
cookies. brownies are great for dessert.
Breakfast can include
cereal, instant oatmeal or cream of wheat, fried eggs and bacon,
muffins, bagels and fruit.
Sandwiches for lunch work
best. Be sure to bring some peanut butter and jelly for the kids.
Cans of tuna or chicken can be turned into a great sandwich with some
mayonnaise.
Lastly, pack plenty of
healthy snacks. Remember that active kids will produce in hungry
kids.
Bring plenty of bottled
water to use for both drinking and cooking.
