Camping can be the ultimate sport. Aside from the many activities, the camaraderie, and living in a new environment there is something special about food prepared outdoors over the open fire. Eating is one of the truly enjoyable experiences while camping. It pays, before leaving home, to plan the meals. Most likely there will not be a Denny’s Restaurant nearby to run off to - so, plan accordingly for the number of days you will be away from home. Of course, include in your plans all of the cooking utensils which will be needed so you have everything for every meal.

Depending on camping expertise, there might have a propane stove. However, if the more daring might decide to do all of the cooking over an open fire. If this is the choice it will require a little more planning because extra items such as charcoal, matches, tinfoil, old pots and pans and a wind-proof lighter (in case you run out of matches) will be needed.

Breakfast is always an exciting meal. It is great to leave the tent, inhale the mountain air, and smell the morning breakfast cooking. It is also important to plan this meal according to the activities planned for the day. For example, a five-mile hike will require a more protein-packed meal then a leisurely day of sitting around the campsite. Delicious breakfasts include everything from pancakes to prepared meals. A simple breakfast consists of a favorite cereal and milk, dried fruit bars, apples and other fruit, juices - the meal depends on the needs of the family and the activities planned for the day.

Lunch can be as simple as sandwiches that include turkey meat, deli meat along with tomatoes and cheese. If there is mayonnaise and mustard, or other condiments, they can be put on the sandwich as well. If a hot lunch is to be served, hot-dogs cooked over an open fire can really meet everyone’s taste. Add some chips, fruits and vegetables, and a drink and it will hold everyone over until dinner.

Depending on the previous meals of the day, dinner should be a filling, well-rounded meal. Grilled meat, grilled fish (caught during the fishing trip), even a meat stew - they all taste delicious in the outdoors. Simpler meals, such as hamburgers or chicken roasted over the open fire are also great choices.

It seems like there is always more than enough food taken, for a camping trip No matter what the meal, it is unlikely that anyone will go hungry.

When night falls a camping trip would not be complete without roasting marshmallows over the fire while singing camp songs. These activities make for great memories!
