You could make everything at the campsite. But the main reason we camp is to go explore, and hike, bike, kayak. To go do stuff. After a day full of doing stuff, I want dinner to be as fast and easy as possible. A little bit of prep before you go, in a place where you have luxuries like running water, counter space, multiple cutting boards, and trash service can make things much easier. Here are some of the tasks and recipes I like to prepare ahead of time, at home.
