Camping For 3 Days

[precious831]

We're going camping for 3 days. I rented a rustic cabin with a kitchen so I can cook. The problem is the fridge is one of those really, really small ones. I'm bringing a lot of stuff from home since my DD and I are avoiding quite a bunch of foods. Hubby can eat anything. So I'm just worrying that I'll be spending my entire time in the kitchen and that I'm just bringing my work there. I hope not.

I should have asked for tips for camping, tips on food and all that. I feel like I'm taking a ton of stuff, not just food but other things too.

What did you bring as far as food(for those who've gone camping while gluten-free/DF/SF)?

Thanks!

When I went camping, I kept it simple....I prepared a lot of stuff at home so that I could enjoy the trip, and just have to heat stuff up...Breakfast was bacon and eggs...made in my own pan and enough made for everyone ( I camped with 3 other non-food allergy friends)...For Lunch, I had made some Gluten free rolls and just had sandwiches, all the veggies were pre-cut and just needed to be piled on the bread. For dinners, I had pre-made a Gluten Free pasta salad that lasted me the entire trip with enough to share...I BBQ'd Chicken on a disposable grill and cooked baked potatoes in the camp fire...Also cooked some apples in the campfire for dessert...I had no kitchen..just a Coleman Stove and the campfire (oh, and my little disposable grill), but I had no problems and had a great time without spending the entire time cooking!! I also had popped some popcorn and gotten a bag of plain potato chips for snacking.....It took me some time at home to get ready for this, but I was really glad that I did because it meant spending more time with my friends and less time worrying about food!!

If your husband can eat anything than he can eat what you do. We recently went camping and I was fine. Hubby had his snacks and bread, had the same butter. Just a matter of being careful and watch for CC. I would say relax and enjoy.

I went camping this past weekend - I brought gluten free chips and crackers (and lactose free cheese) for munching; gluten free sausage and muffins to go with eggs for breakfast; veggies and chicken and ribs (on the grill) for lunch/dinners.

One of our quick favorites is: a can of black beans, a can of niblets corn, a chopped onion, tomato, cucumber, advocado & pepper. Mix all together in bowl with gluten-free catalina dressing and eat with gluten-free corn chips. You can modify or add more cans depending on your family and tastes. I have also browned some hamburger meat, and had it on the side. This throws together super fast and cleans up easy.

Baked potatoes in the fire pit are great too. I have added peppers, onions, and corn too. Just wrap in foil and remember to turn. If you need meat, you can roast sausages on a stick.

Have fun

Thanks everyone, it wasn't as bad as I thought, I still had to cook but it was alright. I kept it simple, well our meals at home are simple anyway.

Having a cabin with a kitchen definitely helped a lot.
