Camping Food

Posted on by

Camping should be a fun activity, but if you take the wrong type of food or you run out, it’s not going to be as much fun as it should be. I have been camping many times and it seems that we always ran out of camping food or we had forgotten to take something with us. Luckily for us, we never were far from a store. Some, however, are not that lucky. Thinking about the food and what you need before you buy are good ideas and can save you a lot of trouble.

The first year we went camping I took all of the wrong things, or perhaps I should say they were the right things used in the wrong order. We went for three days, and I took hamburger patties with us as part of our camping food. We should have used them up the first day or two, but we saved them for the third night. That was not smart. Our cooler was not as good as it should have been, and the hamburger wasn’t looking too good. We decided not to eat it. Had we been further from civilization, we would not have had dinner that night.

The next year I thought I did better with the camping food, but I forgot butter. Sometimes you don’t realize how important things like butter, ketchup, and mustard are until you have forgotten them. I went to the camp store to get more, but they, like most camping supply stores, charge a lot for their camping food. I had to pay two dollars for a single stick of butter. I was not happy about it, but at least I finally had my butter.

Though perishable camping food items are okay, only have them for the first few nights unless you have refrigeration. They do okay in really nice coolers for a day or two, but after that, they are probably not going to be any good. You should make sure you take a lot of things that can last without the cooler or the refrigerator when you are thinking about your camping food. On top of that, you should take more than you think you need. You may have to share with someone unexpectedly, or you may have forgotten something and you will be short. Having a back up supply is a mighty good idea when camping far from civilization.

There are many quick and easy snacking options out there which honestly do not have our best interest in mind. It may be easier to pull a bag of chips out of the cupboard than to slice and dice some fresh fruits or vegetables, but the potato chips are going to do nothing for your health. Many people do not really realize how many healthy snack options are available to them, because chips and crackers just seem so much easier.

Ice Cream Scoops

Posted on by

If you look in any freezer, you will probably find some type of ice cream. Even those with a very healthy eating plan have some sort of frozen treat that they can have and enjoy often. If you have ice cream, you have to have a way to get it out of the container, of course. This is why you will also find ice cream scoops in every home, though the ones people choose to get are as varied as their choice of toothbrush or laundry detergent. Having a scoop will save you from a collection of bent spoons, especially if you have children.
