Instead of a sugar laden, prepackaged meal plan, I’m want to share a healthy camping food plan filled with fresh fruits, veggies, and lean protein.    I’m calling this my Farm to Table Camping Meal Plan.

Camp Cooking

Cooking over a camp fire is probably one of my favorite parts of camping. Food has that unique flavor that you don’t get at home.

For this camping menu, I’ll set up my grill grates directly over the fire ring and cook most meals over the open fire. Food will be cooked directly on the grill, in a cast iron skillet, or in pot with hot water.

For this menu you will need the following cooking utensils:

• Grill Grate(s)*
• Cast Iron Skillet and/or Dutch Oven*
• Pot*
• Coffee Percolator*
• Long Handled Tongs*
• Marshmallow Sticks*
• Plates
• Bowls
• Cutting board/mat
• Sharp knife
• Forks & spoons
