I was still a youngster the last time I went on an extended camping trip, so all the preparations were done for me. As I got ready for a week of camping in Yellowstone National Park, I wanted to keep the food prep simple, but delicious and wholesome. This lead to me pre-making and freezing lots of homemade comfort food.
Take a look at our dinner menu for the week:
Day 1: black bean burgers, baked beans, corn on the cob
Day 2: spaghetti with marinara sauce
Day 3: veggie pot pie with corn muffin tops (recipe coming soon!)
Day 4: veggie chili with corn muffins
Day 5: soup and sandwiches (I cheated here, I'm bringing cartons of yummy Pacific organic soup)
Day 6: tacos
Day 7: Mac and Cheese
Extra fun aspect: one of our fellow campers is gluten free. So everything I made for this trip fits her bill. Though she will help make it possible by bringing gluten free pastas, breads and muffins. I substituted gluten free flour into my sauces and gluten free bread crumbs in the black bean burgers. We're good to go! Do we have enough room in the car?
