Camp Cook
Putting together your camping cookware is not hard at all. It simply depends, first of all, on what you are planning for a menu. Most of the time you will include a couple of pots, a skillet, a bowl for mixing and general cooking utensils like spoons, spatulas, knives and forks. You'll also want to bring a wooden spoon, a whisk, a can opener and a set of hot pads or leather gloves to handle hot items off the stove or near the fire.
A good sharp knife is a must as well as something to use as a cutting board. If you are planning to grill, you should have a grate to put over the fire. Some campgrounds or tent camping areas have fire pits with grills, but you can't count on it. Cast iron cookware has been one of the choices for cooking over an open fire for centuries, and it is practically indestructible. As far as any other cookware to use on your cook stove, use whatever you are comfortable using at home. Food prepared in a campsite always tastes better than at home, so be creative and enjoy the open air and robust appetites that camping provides.
Don't forget to bring the usual spices, as well as things like peanut butter, jelly, honey and cheese spreads. Zip lock bags work well for storing almost anything and are perfect for keeping small items sealed and clean, as well as protecting the inside of your backpack. Use a separate sack for you utensils and your cookware. After you have used the pots on you stove or over the fire, they have a tendency to get covered with soot, so the sacks keep them from soiling your backpack as well as anything they touch.
Plates, drinking cups and eating utensils should be as light and multi-functional as possible. Spoons can take the place of forks so leave the forks at home and everyone should carry a pocketknife so there's no need to pack knives for eating. If each person has a drinking cup and a deep-sided plastic plate that doubles as a bowl, you've got everything you need.

Campers: What type of camp meals do you have when tent camping for about a week?
We’re a family of 3 & we’re going on a longer trip this time, & restaurants are far & few between. How do you manage meals & what type of food do you bring? Do you precook foods at home, bring them raw & cook them at camp, or frequent local grocery stores? Do you tend to eat a lot of canned food? Peanut butter sandwiches? Just looking for easy ideas & non-complicated recipes as space is at a premium w/ all the junk we have!!!
Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches work fine for lunch, but if you're gone for a week, don't make them part of the dinner routine.
I would recommend that you pre-measure and prep before the trip as much as possible. Segregate stuff into zip-lock baggies and then just dump and mix once you are at the camp site. It makes life so much easier when you are trying to prepare the meal if you don't have to spend time cutting vegetables, measuring flour, spices, etc. Some recipes that work well include stews and cobblers. Don't be afraid to have a night roasting hot dogs. Do some searches for "Boy Scout Meals" to get some ideas.
Bring powdered drink mix like Tang, Lemonade, or Kool-Aid (leave the sugar free and low-calorie stuff like Crystal Lite at home as you and the kids will need the extra calories) to have with breakfast and lunch. Hot Cocoa works well for dinner.
