Well, i go canoing and camping almost every week-end throughout the summer and let me tell you what we take; may come in handy!. First we camp along the river in tents!.!.!.just the open fire pit!.!.!.no grill accept a griddle that is normally balanced on rocks (awsome)!. We normally take (for 2 adults and 3 children 14,14,11)!.!.!.!.
five potatoes(great wrapped in foil with butter to put really close to the fire for baking!.
1 can of corn!.!.!.!.open the top and put near the fire in the can!.
smores (of course)!.
meat is normally samon or deer steak!.
for breakfast it is sausage!
Other food to take as a snack is chips (pringles open and close easier), shoe string fries (found in the chip isle too; also in a can), pretzels (can't go wrong), jerky (great for in between meals), freeze all drinks!.!.!.!.saves on ice and they melt over the short period of time!.!.!.also great for keeping your cooler cool!. Oh, put your grease and butter in the same small tub for cooking!.!.!.they both are hard and it won't hurt your cooking any!.

Food that requires little or no cooking works the best!.
Examples:
Breakfast: Pop-tarts, granola bars, yogurt (keeps fine in a cooler for a couple days!.!.!.)
Lunch: A loaf of bread for sandwiches, deli meat, cheese, pb & j for the child!.!.!.
Dinner: Hot dogs, hamburgers, buns (you may need a grill, a wire one to put over a fire, or if you have one a gas-powered grill)
Snacks: Chips, fruit snacks, stove-top popcorn to make in the fire or on a grill etc!.
Don't forget ketchup, mustard, and marshmallows!Www@FoodAQ@Com

mac&cheese, hamburger helper, etc!. are easy, and kids will eat it!. steaks, burgers, hot dogs!. bring a camp stove with a griddle for griddle cakes, eggs, bacon, etc!. bisquick will work for the griddle cakes and dough-boys (thicker dough consistency, toasted on a stick!. sprinkle cinnamon/sugar, drizzle syrup, etc!. fun for the kids!)!. s'mores (graham cracker, chocolate bar, toasted marshmallow)!. instant pudding (sure you can get the cups, but the mix keeps the kid occupied)!. bring plenty of hydration: bottled water, juice boxes!. for milk, bring parmalat, as it sits at room temp!.
of course all this assumes you aren't back-packing!
have fun!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can make "potato foils"!. It's a great open fire meal you can cook!. You need cut up potatoes, carrots, ground beef, tin foil and some seasoning!.
To make it easier on yourself you can precook the meat and boil the potatoes a little!.
You put it all in the foil, (for each individual) and either hold it over the fire using some tongs or set it on a grill if you have one!. It's yummy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

One pot meals are best and easiest to keep sanitary in an outdoor environment!.
Throw some good German sausage in with sour kraut or hot links with chili!.
Anything bagged or prepackaged like chips and cookies to munch on!.
Bagged salads work well too but bring some tongs as hand washing is usually inconvenient or just not a priority!.
Then all you have to watch is the condiments and beer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have a recipe, for omlettes!. Awesome!. You have to use "Ziplock brand" bangs!. No other works!. Precook saome veges and what ever you would like in the omlete before you leave home!. Pour eggs into the Ziplock, add chees and the other items!. Place bag in a pot with boiling or very hot water and cook until done!. It is so good!
We do steaks and brauts too, just because you go camping doesn't mean you can't eat well, if you think about it meals are a big part of the camping experience!Www@FoodAQ@Com
