paper plates or doing dishes / wife advice

If you don't use paper plates what do you start the campfire with? We use GOOD plastic coated paper for meats ans hot or something that might leak and cheap paper plates for Sandwich's chips type meals and GOOD bowls for soups and the like but real cups for coffee and at times soups. Find precooking meals, freezing then Micro so we skip pots and pans cleanup on a lot of meals. Eating out which we do too much of gets us the china and leftovers for the paper plates.
