Summer is for camping! And whether you’re getting out to a lake, hitting the trails or going to a music festival 😉, chances are, you’re going to be eating at some point. And why not bring along food that makes you feel good rather than something processed (as convenient as that might be)! We spend a little time prepping before a getaway so we have minimal prep and cleanup to deal with while we’re having fun.

Our friend Dan clued us in to breakfast burritos which we make ahead of time and freeze. Pull what you need it out to thaw the night before. Come morning, place on a hot skillet to get brown and crunchy.

Lunch and dinner tend to be salads made ahead, the splurge of store-bought fried chicken, and often a pressed sandwich. Salads include potato (no mayo!), broccoli (TJ’s fav from Trisha Yearwood), tabouli to which we add feta and olives, green bean, and pasta salad (so many choices!), or something that features what we have on hand. We pack the salads in quart yoghurt containers and share right out of the container or if we’re feeling fancy, actually put it on a plate.

Have fun camping or festivaling, or wherever this summer takes you!
