Lazy Camping
It can be a lot of fun to go camping with your family or friends. However, cooking for everyone can also be incredibly labour-intensive. Fortunately, there are lots of delectable camp cuisine options available that don't require much cooking or a stove. Our top picks are as follows:.
Munchies
Going camping with a bunch of buddies is a lot of fun. However, creating menus that satisfy everyone's appetite can sometimes be difficult, particularly if you don't have access to a refrigerator. To ensure you have some simple cold meals available, bake some muffins the night before you go camping and pack them with some peanut butter-covered apple slices (and perhaps some granola, too). Another classic is a banana wrap, which is made by carefully placing a whole peeled banana in the centre of a flour wrap, spreading it with peanut butter, and rolling it up. Sliced avocado, Nutella, or even Vegemite for an Australian spin are other options. Another alternative is to try non-perishable foods like pot noodles or other ready-to-eat items that just need to be boiled. Alternatively, you could purchase some egg powder, which would allow you to make omelettes while camping without needing to pack raw eggs.
Dinners
On a camping trip, there are lots of quick, simple, and delicious meals that may be prepared. To maximise your camping experience and save time at the campsite, select foods that are easy to prepare and can be prepared quickly. One tasty choice for breakfast is smoked salmon and cream cheese on bagels, which is quite simple to make at the campsite. Or try baking cinnamon rolls over a campfire. A charcuterie board with crackers, sliced cheeses and meats, fruits, and nuts makes a simple lunch option. Grilled chicken skewers with tzatziki sauce can be the centrepiece of a lavish dinner set or enjoyed as an appetiser. To simplify, prepare the tzatziki sauce and skewers ahead of time so that all you need to do at the campground is assemble and cook. Another wholesome and nourishing lunch choice for camping is salad. Salad dressing, chopped veggies, and prewashed salad leaves can all be packed separately and assembled at the campsite.
Sweets
It's not necessary to wing it when it comes to cooking when lazy camping. Making a dinner that would appeal to everyone in the group is actually not that difficult to prepare ahead of time. All you need to bring are adaptable, fast-to-cook foods and an understanding of cooking and assembly schedules. Naturally, a camping trip wouldn't be complete without a few delectable sweet treats. The traditional s'more is the way to go; for a twist, add some flavoured marshmallows or peanut butter cups. Drinks should be on your list of foods to bring when camping, particularly if it will be warm outside and you intend to stay out late. Take a sip of fruit-flavoured water or one of those small, kid-friendly fruit squeezables that never go bad. They're the ideal complement to a leisurely bonfire! Another option would be to bring some tea or soup in a can. In case you are concerned about the availability of a refrigerator or cooler, these are fantastic choices for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Liquor
A cool drink is the ideal way to cap off a long day of leisurely camping. Fortunately, the best spots for carefree camping offer on-site beverages, pre-pitched tents, hot showers and restrooms, game rooms, and even spa cottages. It's frequently best to keep things simple when it comes to cooking drinks in a camp kitchen. It is crucial to carry drinks that don't need more than three components because of this. Our favourite beverages for casual camping are kalimotxo (red wine and Mexican coke), whisky gingers and ranch water. Consider making a large quantity of sangria if you're camping with a group to keep everyone content and hydrated. You can enjoy these cocktails warm or cold, and they will take up the least amount of room in your camp kitchen.
