Camp food
So what is everyone eating on their adventures.Need some simple ideas. Hot dogs over the fire are really getting old.
Forum Discussion
Others have mentioned scout websites for food ideas - and this is a great source if you're camping with kids. It's always a good idea to get the kids involved in meal preparation. And why not focus on outdoor cooking, even though you've got all the appliances you have at home?
I mean . . . you know, last time I camped I brought a rice cooker and enjoyed it. We microwave stuff. I'm not very pleased with my oven, but everything else works fine. I guess it depends on why you camp. If it's just a personal hotel room while you do other things, enjoy all the conveniences. But if you're after the outdoor experience, learn outdoor cooking. :)
I've been a Girl Scout co-leader for 9 years, and I was in scouting myself too. So yeah, I know a thing or two about camp food. Even non-scouts enjoy banana boats (foil-wrapped bananas stuffed with chocolate chips and marshmallows), dump cake (delish, Google it), brown bears (canned rolls cooked on a stick like s'mores, covered in butter, cinnamon and sugar), hobo pies (foil packets filled with ground beef & whatnot), etc.
So yeah, if you're camping with kids, PLEASE teach them how to do these things. :)
