Second, we tend to use the seal a meal and make a few crock pot dishes
ahead of time and put them in the cooler. A bit salty, and they can last
a couple of weeks bagged up in a refrigerator. I like to take a pork
roast, 3-4 pounds and do it up. Slice it and break it into 10 - 12 meal
packages. You can do the same with baked potato and you have the
microwave to heat up the meals and some veggies. I also freeze and
package mashed potato and a great 16 bean stew I make here.

If I were in a camper with 110 for an extended period I might bring my
veggie steamer. Hell, you can grab fresh veggies anywhere and throw them
in anytime. Fresh veggies will help with the whole diet change thing and
keep you in fiber.

Lastly, of course, any kind of ground meat and a few buns, a couple cans
of Bushes baked beans always make a great meal too. If you eat hotdogs,
slice them up and throw them right in the beans YUMMY!

For drinks we carry cases of cheap bottled water and a few small plastic
containers of powdered gatoraide of lemonaide, etc.. and mix it in as
needed, that way you always have lot's of fresh plain water which is
real important in staying "regular" on longer outings... Sometimes
however you just feel like a sugar drink with a bunch of ice

You can also bring some instant potato, quick stuffing, or bisquick
pancake mix to fill in some blanks too..

I purposely didn't mention Hotdogs (served traditionally) or Hamburgers,
bacon and eggs, etc.. as those are probably a given. I am trying to
focus on the stuff that will give you real value between the burgers and
doggers

Now, since you have a microwave too, you have an opportunity for
"breakfast potatoes".. You make your bacon, and eggs, and cheese, or
whatever slather it all over a fresh baked (skin on) brown russet, split
in half and mashed out flat. Kind of like making a potato and egg
pizza

The idea is to try to eat as healthy and "normal" as possible as much as
possible when you are out there. Being in a camper as opposed to a tent
you have a much better opportunity to do this and everyone will feel
better for it...

"Healthy and normal"

As in:

breakfast potatoes
bacon
instant potato
quick stuffing
ground meat
hot dogs
salty pork roast


Blech!



That's about as "Healthy and normal" as the Freak gets.


Maybe a Canadian diet? Just came back from a couple weeks in BC. Seemed as
if there was an over abundance of excess flesh on the locals. Seemed to be
a lot of fatness.

Reading Jim's posts on boat food left me thinking that some of you folks
may
have some good ideas for our upcoming trip to Utah. We're planning to
leave next
week, taking the travel trailer, and will return o/a the 24th of Sep.
We'll be
spending about two weeks in the southern portion of the state seeing Zion
National Park, Arches National Park, Grand Canyon (north rim), Monument
Valley,
Canyonland, Muley Point, etc, etc.

In the trailer we have a refrigerator with a small freezer. I'll have the
gas
Weber, and electric stoves in the campgrounds. On the way out and back
we'll be
spending some nights in Flying J parks, but while in Utah we'll be in
campgrounds or the Grand Canyon Lodge.

So, what I need are suggestions for food. Can't be sandwiches all the
time - too
fattening.

Ideas anyone?

All decisions are the result of binary thinking.


Take an extra cooler and buy a dish drainer or make a device to keep the
food out of the melting ice. Use it as a spare container. For healthy
breakfast, mix oatmeal, Craisins, and cinnamon together and put in a Ziploc.
Just add boiling water to the mixture for a quick easy morning meal. Buy
local produce and stir fry with a little olive oil for veggies at dinner.
Buy some good fruit and spinach and Trader Joes Champagne / Pear dressing is
great over the fruit and spinach as a salad. Plus you can cook the spinach
as a veggie. Cut some fresh corn off the cob and add to the stir fry. Get
a toaster oven for when in RV parks. You can toast bread, reheat pizza, get
the refrigerated Tollhouse cookies and cook 4 at a time for fresh dessert.
Take PB and jam for lunch at times. The new thin bagels and thin breads
keep well and do not have the excess bread. Plus some Costco sliced turkey
luncheon meat. Get some good brats for dinners. Get some of the pasta
dinners that you just add meat to. Then use the canned chicken meat from
Costco as the addition. The pasta dinners store without refrigeration.
Then just shop in the local area for fresh supplies. We have Safeway most
places as well as Costco all through the West.
Most of the parks are very reasonable in the Southwest, and you will have
electricity. Flying J is noisy with all the trucks. Wal-Mart is a better
choice. Hospital lots are also a good choice. They figure you have a loved
one there and do not bother you. Zion will be free entry with the senior
pass, but may cost you $15 for passage through the tunnel, depending on
width of trailer. My truck camper is 1" over the limit. When going to
Canyon De Chelly, hire a local guide. Get a personal tour. With tip was
about $200 bucks for the 4 of us. Was just us and guide, and we used
buddies 4x4 Suburban as the vehicle for tour. You can book a tour at the
info center. There is a cheap RV park run by the Indians just outside the
entrance. South Rim Grand Canyon used to have GREAT ice cream shop. Have
not been there in years, so do not know if it still is good. Stay in
Flagstaff if no reservations at GC and get up early and go to the canyon for
First Come, First Served standby for camp site.

I live in Utah. Southern Utah. Toquerville, specifically.

Buy ALL you can in St. George, Hurricane, and Cedar City. Depending on
where you are driving in from, stop at major cities, and stock up on major
items that are not going to spoil. You may have to buy some fresh
supplies in towns such as Springdale, Escalante, Moab, and Panguitch, but
expect to pay 2 to 3x the going rate, and the "fresh" foods available may
be freezer burnt. You may encounter fresh animal flesh from local
butchers. Buy and take as much as you can in advance, as the prices at
the local stores are two leveled - take it or leave it.

Steve

Speaking of Moab. There is a dirt road between Dead Horse Point and Moab. I
highly recommend driving that road from the point down to the town. The
Vistas are spectacular, and the drive is exciting. If I recall correctly
It's 10 or 12 miles and takes about 2 hours. I guarentee John will never
forget the experience. Oh, BTW. Don't try it while towing your trailer,
John.

Second, we tend to use the seal a meal and make a few crock pot dishes
ahead of time and put them in the cooler. A bit salty, and they can last
a couple of weeks bagged up in a refrigerator. I like to take a pork
roast, 3-4 pounds and do it up. Slice it and break it into 10 - 12 meal
packages. You can do the same with baked potato and you have the
microwave to heat up the meals and some veggies. I also freeze and
package mashed potato and a great 16 bean stew I make here.

If I were in a camper with 110 for an extended period I might bring my
veggie steamer. Hell, you can grab fresh veggies anywhere and throw them
in anytime. Fresh veggies will help with the whole diet change thing and
keep you in fiber.

Lastly, of course, any kind of ground meat and a few buns, a couple cans
of Bushes baked beans always make a great meal too. If you eat hotdogs,
slice them up and throw them right in the beans YUMMY!

For drinks we carry cases of cheap bottled water and a few small plastic
containers of powdered gatoraide of lemonaide, etc.. and mix it in as
needed, that way you always have lot's of fresh plain water which is
real important in staying "regular" on longer outings... Sometimes
however you just feel like a sugar drink with a bunch of ice

You can also bring some instant potato, quick stuffing, or bisquick
pancake mix to fill in some blanks too..

I purposely didn't mention Hotdogs (served traditionally) or Hamburgers,
bacon and eggs, etc.. as those are probably a given. I am trying to
focus on the stuff that will give you real value between the burgers and
doggers

Now, since you have a microwave too, you have an opportunity for
"breakfast potatoes".. You make your bacon, and eggs, and cheese, or
whatever slather it all over a fresh baked (skin on) brown russet, split
in half and mashed out flat. Kind of like making a potato and egg
pizza

The idea is to try to eat as healthy and "normal" as possible as much as
possible when you are out there. Being in a camper as opposed to a tent
you have a much better opportunity to do this and everyone will feel
better for it...

"Healthy and normal"

As in:

breakfast potatoes
bacon
instant potato
quick stuffing
ground meat
hot dogs
salty pork roast


Blech!



That's about as "Healthy and normal" as the Freak gets.


Maybe a Canadian diet? Just came back from a couple weeks in BC. Seemed as
if there was an over abundance of excess flesh on the locals. Seemed to be
a lot of fatness.


Pfffftttt, bonnie ought to talk... We have seen pictures of the little
bald bowling pin. Must just gross his kid out to see the fat man coming
to the couch...


Not if he's bringing beer!
