So you don’t get there and wonder what each meal will be and realise you have left some food or important utensils behind. Here are a few tips and ideas. Plan your meals – For example if you are staying for a long weekend work out how many meals you will need to provide for. Then take the appropriate food required for each breakfast lunch and dinner. Keep Meals Simple – Keep all or most of your meals easy to prepare, cook and to clean up. No need to make restaurant 3 course meals. Cooking equipment – Check if you will have a campfire, barbeque or using the camp stove. Take the cooking equipment required to suit the food that you are cooking or preparing, Do you need a frypan, saucepan, tongs, camp oven etc. Food – Work out what ingredients you need and only take the food required for your meals. Don’t take five different types of sauce if you are only going to use two or don’t take kilo of rice if you only need 1 cup. You have limited space so make the most of it. Camping makes you hungry – When deciding how much food to take allow a bit extra for each meal, add a few more sausages, or eggs etc. Experiment – You may like to test out a new recipe and try a new meal or dessert each time you go camping too make it more interesting. If it’s a success that’s great, you may like to add it to the menu next time you go camping. These are ideas I use each time we go camping so there is enough food for everyone, without having wasted leftovers when we get home. Make your meals tasty, but easy to prepare and wash up and everyone will have a great time. A wash up time saver is to use  a paper plate over a sturdy plastic plate for the main meal, saves washing up a greasy or messy plate.
