Camping Food Ideas

The best part to home prepared food is taking it away with you on your outdoors excursions. Camping food ideas couldn’t get any easier, the best way to think about it is to imagine how you will be cooking your food each day, if you are more likely to lapping up the sun and getting out the BBQ then making your own chicken or lamb or beef kebab sticks will keep the kids happy, and the adults.

All you need to do is cut up the preferred meat of choice and dice up the vegetables of choice, most favourites are peppers, mushrooms and onions. Once they are all bite sized slide them on to the kebab stick skewers and take them with you, obviously kept cool.

Why not add a little bite to the meat and have it prepared the night before you set off. Leave to marinate in your favourite flavours or sauce in the fridge and this will soak in to the meat and taste great once slapped on the BARBY…

Home made burgers are surely at the top of the list for camping food ideas, choose some beef, or lamb, mince bind together in balls with egg yolk and your choice of finely diced peppers, onions and chillies even. Add seasoning and any herbs you wish and carry them in a cooled container ready for devouring right off the BBQ. Great stuff.

Now if all you want is simple meat ideas then like the above suggestions just play with meats and veg to liking, but many people love those extra bits of sides when camping or any other self catering opportunities. Make your own salads and healthy crunchy dishes. Boil up some new potato’s and make a few hard boiled eggs, let them cool off and add to your favourite lettuce choice, cherry tomatoes, chunks of cucumber, diced peppers and hints of sweetcorn. Don’t forget the grated cheese, salad is great with sprinkled toppings of grated cheese.

Pasta dishes can be made and left to cool (and kept cooled) and taken away with you. There’s tuna or just plain chicken options, obviously with as many veggies as possible.

You can basically take any kind of food away with you when camping as long as you have the facilities to cook them through properly. Storage is easy if you have those iced packs and cool bags to keep the food in whilst travelling, so they stay good like when in the fridge. Plastic air tight containers should be used for food, if not cling film is handy.

Camping Food Ideas just got simple now you have realised what you can make up when getting in touch with the great outdoors.
