I don’t really want to cook that much when I’m camping: all I want to bring is a camp stove, a skillet, and a small pot, and it better be ready in around 20 minutes or less. I more want to assemble things together and still have something nice to eat. The food also had to be able to be cooked if there is a fire ban and fires aren’t allowed, and it’s preferable to not use a cooler as much as possible.

• Breakfast:
  • Pancakes
  • Scrambled eggs
  • French toast
  • Precooked sausage and bacon
  • Hash browns
  • Breakfast burritos
  • Instant oatmeal
  • Cereal
  • Bagels
• Lunch:
  • Pack lunch meat, cheese, veggies, fruit, crackers, chips, bread, tortillas, peanut butter & jelly, etc., and then assemble them together in different ways to eat lunch. So you can have salad, sandwiches, wraps, lunchables, etc.
• Dinner:
  • Hot dogs and beans
  • Asian chicken salad (cabbage, canned chicken, mandarin oranges, crunch noodles)
  • Nachos (with canned cheese sauce)
  • Chili and chips
  • Soup from a can (beef stew, whatever)
  • Tacos and taco salad (meat made ahead or just use canned chili)
  • Chili in a bag of chips with toppings
  • Spaghetti
  • Macaroni and cheese
  • Ramen noodles and frozen veggies (with eggs if you would like)
  • Tuna sandwiches/tuna salad
  • Pasta salad
  • Black bean salad
• Dessert:
  • S’mores (cook marshmallow on stove if fire isn’t available)
  • Baked goods and snake cakes made in advance

What other ideas do you have?
