My partner and I went camping last year and since it happened pretty much on a whim, we didn't really plan ahead or plan nicely for meal times. We are hoping/planning to go again this year and we're trying to come up with some nice meal ideas that are easy and that won't break our budget. Do you have any favorites?

*giggles* Smores! lol. Yeah, couldn't help that. Um... I haven't really cooked anything else except hotdogs over a fire basically. Geez I'm pathetic.

I think that smores are probably a favorite for most of us. We usually take along some sandwich foods for a quick meal, but there are other things you can make if you have a bonfire or a grill. Tinfoil packets are a wonderful way to cook. One of my favorites that a friend of mine makes is diced potatoes and onions, toss in a bit of butter, wrap in foil and toss on the grill. Cook it until the potatoes are tender. These are really good, and go great with hamburgers or hot dogs.

This is very yummy, we make them while camping as well as when grilling at home!

My favorite is to wrap a biscuit around a stick to heat it and bake it over the fire. I have not tried it, but will tonight, or at least on our trip that starts tonight!

I'm not sure what type of camping you are doing or what resources you have, but when I camp I find that things you can make with biling water are the easiest. When I camp I bring things like Ramen Noodles, "Easy Mac"-this is mac and cheese that you can make with just hot water, and instant mashed potatoes. Canned meats are also good, like canned ham or hash. I also like bringing those packets of tuna. They are especially good mixed in with the mac and cheese. These items are also very affordable.
