[quote=Anonymous]First, prep for keeping cold food cold for two days.  When and where? Fall isn't so bad, but if temps will be over 85, I'd work on keeping dairy and meat cold.  Take a couple of large containers - plastic gallon milk jugs, OJ containers, or gallon Ziplocs.  Fill 80% with water, seal, and freeze. These are your main ice blocks - put one on each end of your cooler, and pack the food in between.  Fill any empty space with a bag of ice from the store.

Breakfast:
- Instant oatmeal, fruit
- dutch oven biscuits or cinnamon rolls, if you are up for a challenge and slightly charred biscuits or cinnamon rolls :).  
- If not, a dutch oven egg casserole - cook some diced onion and bell pepper in a dutch oven, add a bunch of chopped ham, shredded cheese, and a bunch of scrambled eggs.  Cook with the lid on, and some charcoals or burning wood set on the lid, for 30-40 minutes until cooked through.  Remove the lid to stir occasionally.
- cereal, yogurt, granola bars

Lunch: 
- sandwiches
- sandwiches
- did I mention sandwiches? Maybe with some chips and watermelon.

Dinner:
- make a batch of chili ahead of time. Reheat in a dutch oven while you cook foil-wrapped potatoes in the coals.  At sour cream, shredded cheese.
- foil packet dinners. Tons of recipes online.  A BSA staple.
- most campsites have either a charcoal grill, or a campfire that you can lower the grill over (or both).  Take charcoal.  Grill chicken, steaks, veggie kebabs.
- make a batch of sloppy joe mix ahead of time.  Reheat over the campfire or camp stove, serve with buns and cole slaw.[/quote]
