Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday (most of it)-hubby and kids are gone camping with grandpa in his camper, so of course I had to send a few things with them for meals because eating out 3 meals per day is not good on the budget! Most of the food that I sent was easily prepared at home, stored in a cooler, and could be warmed in the microwave. My original intention was to prepared a few baked goods like banana bread, puffed carmel corn, or brownie cookie bars, however, our central air decided to have a mind of it's own. To make a long story short, apparently last winter and mouse and his family decided to make a home in our outdoor unit. While they were lounging around they decided to chew on some of our wires
So this is what I sent along for the camping in a camper event...
Chicken Lo mein (chicken helper)
salami sandwiches
string cheese
flexible Mexican filling for tacos
brown rice and pinto beans
canned ravioli
cereal with milk
yogurt
variety of pre-packaged processed snacks and beverages
Wednesday- scrambled eggs with ABC Muffins
Thursday-baked spaghetti with Parmesan knots, applesauce
Friday-grilled turkey burgers with homemade salsa, Suddenly Salad, and fruit salad
Saturday-crockpot potato and ham casserole

Mice? Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for lots of great camper food ideas... I'll be eating out of a cooler next week and wasn't entirely sure what kind of things to take with me. I never would've thought of string cheese, or the bean filling (easy enough to heat up and throw into a tortilla!)
Hope you enjoy the ABC muffins!
oh, mice :( bummer.
ReplyDeleteWe pack all our food for vacations/trips/camping too -- much better on the budget!
