ok we are going on our summer family camping trip this coming weekend.. We go tent camping and only use the grill and camp fire to cook. So my question is does anyone have any food ideas for me? We will be gone for four days so I really need all the help I can get thinking of stuff to bring.

Are you bringing one of those travel cooler/freezer things? If you are you can stock it up with fish and chicken. If you are just bringing something to keep things cold (but not frozen) you could get some fish and chicken, and freeze them until theyre good and frozen, then put it in the cooler right when you are about to leave (it should stay frozen in the cooler for way over a day...you could probably cook it even on the third day).

If you like tofu, it doesn't require a freezer (just refrigeration) and is delicious on the grill.

And of course, theres always Beans and stuff.

Have a fun trip!

Hi there, i went camping with my 7 yo son a few weekends ago and I brought a cooler with plastic containers with yoplait yogert, string cheese, lunch meat, chicken for the bbq and choc puddings for my sweet tooth. I also cooked up talipia fish and measured in 4 oz containers...i never felt left out. I even walked the dog every morning....have fun!!! you don't have to feel left out!!!

My surgery is next week and we are going camping this weekend for my birthday. I am on a NO carb diet and I feel like I am so tired of meat right now... LOL So I am taking meat and cheese only for me LOL

I go camping very often and we tend to stick to lean meats, veggies and fruits. I put everything in foil packets with seasoning, marinade or other flavors and then cook over grill or camp fire. Works well. Last week we made fish with zucchini and mushrooms one day and grilled chicken with corn on cobb and grilled pineapple another day. Hope this helps.

We went camping Fourth of July weekend...I was able to eat burgers & Hot Dogs like the rest of them I just didn't eat the bun. Also I brought baked Beans and made fresh veggies via a pouch over the fire...Squash, Broccoli, and Cauliflower.

Tuna is a good quick thing to take also cottage cheese

I'm not sure where your at as far as foods are concerned, but canned re-fried Beans with some cheese is awesome. Also cottage cheese, yogurt, string cheese, all very portable if you've cooler space. Pre-cooking some meat is a great idea too if your on solids now. Also pre-made Protein shakes don't NEED refridgeration [though it sure helps!!].

Have a great time!

thanks everyone for you ideas. They are helping out alot when planing the menu.... we take coolers so things can stay cold. kroger has pork tenderlion that is already season so we are gonna freeze that and have it on the three day. the kids do smores so I am gonna take some choc pudding low fat graham cracker and some fat free sugar free whip cream and make my smore out of that. If I start to want some when they break them out. thank agian:thumbup:

So. Why is it so different this time from any other time you've gone? Serious question. What are you worried about? Just b/c you're banded now, doesn't change anything unless there are certain foods you have problems with.

We cook anything and everything when we're camping. Plan a menu and bring the stuff for it. We make Hobo stew in foil on the fire. Kabobs that we prep at home. We cook eggs and bacon and even make toast! pineapple upside down cake with a "solar oven" and so on and so on. We eat really well when camping! LOL!

Been a long time since we've gone camping. I'm itching to go again soon!

Have a blast and don't stress on the food. Take what you like and can eat. ENJOY!!!!
