FREAKING MARSHMELLOWS. or beer.
Strawberries, Nuts…
hot dogs. duhhh.. it’s the known camping food!!! Super easy and you can roast it on the same stick with your marshmallow!!
big veggies or chips with dip
for meals i dont really know
tinned food
the charcoal
sandwiches for lunch
fajitas, chicken legs, hamburgers, hot dogs for dinner
Trail Mix. Cold foods won’t stay cold while you’re camping, trust me.
cool meals are hard becuase you will need to keep them cool all weekend in a cooler, try some granola bars, fruit snacks, juice boxes. steak tips, burgers hot dogs, even pasta, beef stew in a can.. throw it in the fire it cooks rightup. Bring some fruit, chips… camping food needs to be easy!
marshmallows
SAUSAGES!!!!!!!!!!!
Lots of them too!!!!!!!!
The smell of them on the barbi will have all the other campers drooling. : – D
salard with somthing like pasta or tuna
Hot dogs, pork and beans, bacon.
Just make sure to bring lots of foil with you because it is the best thing to put your food on top of.
my grandpa has a tripod cooking stand…we always cut up potatoes and fry them in oil above the campfire. they are soooo good and make eggs and bacon over the fire for breakfast. Also, the traditional hotdog is always yummy.
bbq stuff. steaks.hotdogs. top ramen.
all the above + hamburgers, smores, if you have a grill~ chicken, steaks, and any thing you want really
Fruts, veggies, pasta salads, peanut butter and jelly, cold cut sandwiches
bottled water is a must. i use it when i go camping to brush my teeth with. try to stay away from salty foods because you’ll just be extra thirsty. AND SMOORES!!!!!
I like to make big salads and fruit salads. Remember your good knife and cutting board from home, then just buy produce fresh on the road. It is relaxing to cut all of that up outside and people just love it and it’s so healthy! I have never had to store any leftovers there, either… it all gets eaten. We buy the grill meat near the campsite as well so less to pack.
take a throw away bbq.
Burgers sausages, kebabs if you want some nice treats try melting marshmallows and chocolate in a banana wrapped in tinfoil. its delightful.
Some nice healthy options would be to season some chicken breast with flavouring such as cajun, hot spicy etc put them in a cool box cook on bbq and serve in pitta’s with a nice salad.
UMMMMMMMMm making me hungary
canned food , chips, s’mores, and stuff like that
make a cooler put some yogurt smoothies in it.
watermelon.. its really refreshing..
we always had sandwhich stuff for during the day and did chilli or grilled fish (caught that day) at night..
dont forget the smores
Maybe chips
HOT DOGS, HAMBURGERS SANDWICHES POTATO CHIPS.
Cookies, fruit, nuts, crackers, bread…
hot dogs
hamburgers
marshmallows/smores
fish (go fishing)
sandwiches
chips
fruit
drinks
hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, chips, cookies, fruit, bakes potatoes, steaks, just about anything that you can cook over a fire or that you can prepare without cooking like sandwiches and chips and things that arent messy and an easy clean up or dont require alot of ingredients or prep time or anything special. salads are also good.
popcorn, peanuts, and crackerjack,kool aid,snakes, squirrel, worms,mushrooms, berries
Get a throw away barbecue grill and slap some sausages. steak, and skewers onto it.
Great cooked food on the go.
A list of things hot and cold are:
Hotdogs
Marshmellows (smores)
popcorn
drinks (alcoholic or not)
Any type of meat that you can cook over a fire with a grill
Sandwiches
… There are plenty of things that you can make while camping, check out websites and maybe you will find more ideas!
Franks and beans fruit salad sandwiches tuna salad cold cuts
hardboiled eggs pies cake cookies trail mix.
most outdoors and camping stores will have a section with dehydrated foods which are light to carry and easy to prepare as long as you have enough water. They even have dehydrated ice cream bars which have a weird texture but taste just like the real thing! Anyway, if you can’t find those then there are always the instant rice and mashed potatoes things that come in packets, trail mix, cereal, etc. This is under the assumption that you’re really camping (backpacks, tent, fire, etc.) and not just living in a trailer or mobile home temporarily… so keeping anything cool will be difficult unless you have a way to store ice for a long period of time. Have fun!
SNACKS:
pretzels
popcorn
candy
popsicles (if your’e in a cabin with a fridge)
ice cream (”")
fruit salad
BREAKFAST:
Pancakes
Waffles
Cereal
Fruit salad
Juice
Ice water
Bagels and cream cheese
LUNCH:
Peanut B and J (or other sanwich)

DESSERT

etc.
S’MORESS. and hot dogs.
and maybe ermm…
some sandwiches that you can bring
and maybe some salads.
hobos……mm my fav. Burgers, dog
Well you have to do hotdogs over the fire.
Quick and easy is one thing but cool is tough. (assuming you mean cool in temperature, not cool as in awesome) Cool is tough because you will have to keep it cool. You could do cereals, granola, fresh fruits are easily stored, PB &J, if you are fishing, freshly caught fried fish, and the ‘ole camping staples… hot dogs and smores. Have fun and stay safe! Be sure to bring plenty of drinking water.
Chips, Hotdogs, RiceKrispies treats..& Peanuts….
Pre make salads.
Cold Cuts.
Bread and the fixings for sammies.
I would also suggest you take something that can be heated if it turns a bit cold, even if it is a can of baked beans.
One of (if not THE MOST) favorite meals I cook when I go camping is the fresh fish I catch from the river or lake.
You say that it will be HOT, so I am not sure if there will be any water in the river where you will stay. S-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O (pulling out my Cliff-notes on Creative cheffing while outdoors)
How about BEEF STEWS, (O.K. you ask for “cool” – I presume you mean TEMPERATURE-wise ideas); For an entree, I would prep. simple sandwiches with cold (iced) drinks %teas or lemonade.
Or – if you are planning to stop at any Roadside Rest Areas, a re-heatable sliced beef dish fits the menu just fine!
easy things:
canned pork&beans
Hotdogs & smokies
soups
* Go buy some cans of chicken , lemons , frozen vegetables mix and mix it up everything. You can eat it with salad cokies or bread.
* Second idea , you can buy cooked shrimp jumbo size . Go put with bbq skewers .
For breakfast stuff I make a farmers breakfast skillet. I buy the liquid eggs in the carton it’s super easy to just freeze it at home and it will thaw by morning throw in some crumbled sausage and a bag of diced potatoes, serve with biscuits (make at home first, freeze) and gravy (buy the gravy mix in the pouch just add water). Oh yeah, and lots of bottled water. Don’t forget dish soap and scrubber to wash the pans.
beer
canned soups and veggies
bags of chips
wheat thins, triscuits, etc.
trail mix (BJ’s sized bags)
marshmellows+hersheys
instant rice
cereal
coffee
hot cocoa
cooler:
hamburgers (already made)
hotdogs

cheese (singles)
