camping backpack packing tips image
SBB
I'm going camping this weekend and I am looking for a few suggestions regarding food to pack. I've recently lost 30 lbs and this is my first weekend in a bathing suit. So, naturally, I want to stay lookin good and not chow down on some fatty, salty, bloating foods. I've already got fruits and veggies down on my list (frozen because I read somewhere that it will double as ice, which is an amazing space saver idea!)
Any ideas?
Thank you!

I'm a seasoned camper and have favorites for the type of camping I'll be doing. Sounds like you are either RV or car camping since you will have a cooler. In this instance, just remember the less pots and pans, the better.
- First rule: Prepare anything at home that you possibly can. Feels like a pain but you will love yourself for doing it before hand.
- Lunch: Sandwiches, fruit, cheese, nuts, chips/salsa, hot dogs/veggie dogs
- Dinner is easiest if you take stuff that can cook over/in the fire (hot dogs - on sticks, steaks & chicken on a grill rack, garlic bread-in foil, corn still in the husk-right in the fire, baked potatoes-in foil)
- Any pastas as this is easy and filling
- When cooking on the fire consider making 'aluminum foil' pockets (make a sealed pocket out of heavy duty foil filled with meat and veggies, like a nice fish with lemon/herbs, carrots, potatoes -- and throw in the fire). It's like a crock pot!
- Pre-made sauces (marinara, pesto)
- Breakfast: Before departing on your trip dice up your favorite omelet fillings like green peppers, smoked salmon, tomatoes, cheese, onion and throw these in a zip lock with uncooked scrambled eggs. Keep it on ice then when ready to eat, warm up the pan and dump the prepared and pre-measured contents in a pan.
- If backpacking and you need to take non perishables, my FAVORITE is pasta, pesto, and smoked salmon. All these don't need to refrigerated and are like a gourmet meal in the middle of no where, and it is a very easy meal: just boil the pasta and eat out of the pot!
Good luck and have fun!

What do I pack when I take my toddler and infant camping?

I am just wanting to know if anyone has any good tips for what to take along for our trip.
Answer
You don't say how old your infant is - and as you said infant and not baby, I would talk to your peditrician first and make sure they have had enough shots and are strong enough to go. Camping lends itself to misquitos bites, ticks and other things...
With that being said though - for slightly older babies - be sure to bring a baby backpack (for ages 6 months and up) keeps them elevated and allows for them to see everything better - also acts as a diaper bag. Jogger strollers are also a wonderful invention fo rthose trail that you can use them on.
A bassinet or portacrib - as they can't sleep in sleeping bags.
DIAPERS, DIAPERS & more DIAPERS as well as ziploc bags to seal them in while you are hiking, etc... since there may not be any garbage cans near and this will prevent a mess or smell in your diaper bag.
If you aren't breastfeeding - plenty of formula, bottles & BOTTLED water as you probably won't be able to boil water and you don't want them drinking tap water.
