Easy Camp Meals

Whether you're an experienced camp cook or a beginner you're always on the lookout for easy camp meals. You may have your old standbys that you take every year that could use some livening up or just want something different for this year's camping trip. If it's your first time as camp cook you probably want some extra help and ideas on how to set up your kitchen and what you need to take along.

I started out being the camp cook by default. I was the least experienced camper and had no gear other than a sleeping bag. Everyone pitched in and lent me gear on the condition that I do the cooking. Sounded like a plan to me! I love to cook and feed people and try out new recipes. There was only one catch, I had never cooked "in the wild" over a portable propane stove. How tough could it be?

I found out it really wasn't that difficult, but it did take practice and planning, especially planning. That was one of the biggest keys I found to make camp cooking simpler for me; planning the meals ahead of time, home preparation and packaging foods together as a meal are a few of the tricks and tips I worked out for myself.

Ending up eating an overcooked or not cooked enough whatever in the dark when you're long past caring what it even tastes like because you're so hungry and grumpy makes for an uncomfortable evening. Having a tasty meal to sit down to after a long busy day makes the day continue on into a relaxed and enjoyable evening of sitting around the campfire and makes for fun memories.
