Going to Utah - need food ideas!
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? -- John H All decisions are the result of binary thinking. |

We find that on longer campouts, simpler is better. I would first suggest lot's of dry breakfast cereals. They are of course quick and easy for breakfast, and work well for snacking (dry or wet) during the day, a great late night quick meal or snack. Another benefit, especially on a longer trip where diet can get crazy, if anyone has stomach issues, cereal is usual light and tolerable... 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...

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.

Can't be sandwiches all the time - too fattening. Ideas anyone? -- John H 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. |

Have you had a chance to look over that Idesigns, LLC, website? There's more bull**** on that site than on the average cattle ranch. It is fascinating how quickly the righties here jump to the little man's defense. He is the exact opposite of the virtues they claim they prefer. 1. He's unemployed. 2. He's unemployable. 3. He lost the jobs he had (working in a warehouse, sweeping out a stable, et cetera) because of his temper and attitudes. 4. He depends upon the taxpayers and others to pay his medical bills. 5. He engages in fraudulent advertising to promote his non-existent web hosting business. 6. He gets in trouble with law enforcement. 7. He's not preparing his daughter for the real world. And so on and so forth... And yet, the righties here love him, probably because he's stupid enough to ejaculate the bile they'd like to... They have a use for the Freak. He acts like a minimum wage security guard......... doing the bidding of other dopers. Is the weather bad? Why the hell are you posting here when you could be boating? |

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? We find that on longer campouts, simpler is better. I would first suggest lot's of dry breakfast cereals. They are of course quick and easy for breakfast, and work well for snacking (dry or wet) during the day, a great late night quick meal or snack. Another benefit, especially on a longer trip where diet can get crazy, if anyone has stomach issues, cereal is usual light and tolerable... 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... HTH Some good ideas there!

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. Our first stop in Utah will be Moab, for three nights. We'll find some stuff in Denver. Thanks for the tip! -- John H 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. Thanks for the info. We've already got reservations at the Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim. Our trailer's not very wide, so maybe we'll sneak through the $15 charge for the tunnel. Canyon De Chelly isn't on our 'to do' list, but we're now looking to see if we should add it. We're planning on the helicopter tour of Canyonland, and a couple others, so don't know if another tour will fit the budget. But what the hell, budgets are made to be broken, right? -- John H All decisions are the result of binary thinking. |

Now if I could just figure out a way to keep the mileage at 20 instead of 12 mpg! Wowser...five days to get there, five days to get back...10 days minimum on the interstates towing a little camper *and* sleeping in it! Of course, for you cruisers, getting there (and back) is part of the fun, right? Add up gasoline, wear and tear on the tow vehicle, campground fees, food and drink for those 10 days, plus campground fews wherever you are going...and... ...you'll probably spend the same or more than you would have flying out there, renting a car, and staying in a decent motel or hotel, and you wouldn't be wiped out from spending most of your trip on the interstate. What a bright penny you are. Whenever I see those RV'ers drive down the interstate I am amazed at the number of morons we have in the US. I am sure all of them are Rupublinazis. As an RV'er, I resent that remark. But we don't RV much anymore. It's much more fun to spoof the IDs of my little buddy Don and Hsrry and Plume..- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I love it harry, yoiu will go to so much trouble to ruin every thread with your spoofing sockpuppets...

Going to Utah - need food ideas!

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? We find that on longer campouts, simpler is better. I would first suggest lot's of dry breakfast cereals. They are of course quick and easy for breakfast, and work well for snacking (dry or wet) during the day, a great late night quick meal or snack. Another benefit, especially on a longer trip where diet can get crazy, if anyone has stomach issues, cereal is usual light and tolerable... 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... HTH Some good ideas there! Thanks.
