Now we camp lighter with an 'eat to live' mentality. (Breakfast- bagels and cream cheese, or english muffins and PB. and fruit. Lunches- sandwiches which we can pack right after breakfast and hit the road with, and Dinners are hot dogs, burgers or hobos- foil packs with burger, carrots, potatoes and onion)
I don't mind prep work, most will be done at home. The menu is leaning towards cooking the main evening meals at home, freezing them and packing them in an cooler.
