Preparing For a Camping Trip
Always take along food that is simple and easy to prepare at any time such as all kinds of pasta and rice. These kinds of foods cook up quickly and can make a great meal by just adding sauce to them. You can choose to cook up some pasta or rice dishes before you begin your trip. The readymade pasta and rice can then just be mixed with a couple of other ingredients and you have some delicious meals that can last for a few days in the fridge.
Always have some fruits and veggies on hand with can last for some days even if it is not possible to refrigerate them just make sure they are kept in the shade. It also depends on the outside temperatures. If you are going to be camping where a small store is nearby then purchase the fruits and veggies as you need them.
Make sure you bring along your spices and herbs especially garlic and onions which you can purchase fresh or dehydrated. They always make a great addition to salad or to the grill. When camping to keep to a healthy diet stock up on sun-dried tomatoes, dried mushrooms, lentils, and bring along pre-cooked beans which go with most any dish. Be sure to have plenty of dried fruits and nuts with you which are great for snacks. For those sweet treats kids want while sitting by the campfire make sure you have marshmallows on hand.
You can bake up cookies to take along with you which will always make a great snack. Bake up some cookies with fruit like banana chocolate chip cookies or bake up cookies that can be stored for a long time like almond cookies and for eating on the road at the beginning of your trip freshly baked orange cookies.In Conclusion the Best Foods to Take Along on a Camping Trip
