The Big May Long Weekend Camping Trip

Well, I'm a day away from Camping out in the mountains for May Long Weekend. I really look forward to this weekend every year. A bunch of us get together, book a group site, and then have a blast for the weekend. The only dilema I have is what to bring for food? I need to think up some new ideas for stuff to cook and snack on when I'm out there. I plan on bringing a couple of steaks for supper. Perhaps do up some onion soup mix potatoes and maybe even some pizza pops to grill on the fire. I also need to bring some pre-mixed salad, some crusty rolls, and maybe some chips and salsa. For breakfast I was thinking about making Ham n Egg with Cheese buns. I try not to bring out hamburgers anymore, mainly because I'm too lazy to make my own, and the frozen patty's turn into mush when they unthaw, making them very messy. I guess that leaves hotdogs as a good backup or "just in case" type of food. Anything that you need to keep cold is gonna be somewhat tricky.

So I guess I'm really looking for some food ideas. If you have any suggestions for food to take camping, just post a note here and I'll compile a list. I'm sure I'll see s'mores on the list somewhere, but I'm trying to keep a handle on my blood sugars, so I would prefer to stay away from the really high glycemic foods. I don't plan on bringing out any chips or dip this time round either. So hopefully I the feedback includes some healthier choices. :) lol

Beer, definitely have to include that on the list.

2005 Yamaha Vstar 1100 Classic

Ahhhh... it finally arrived. Here is my brand new 2005 Yamaha Vstar 1100. I've already racked up almost 700 km's on it. It won't be long before I get a few accessories for it, like a backrest and windscreen. Many fun km's have already been racked up on it. Click on the picture to the right if you'd like to see more photo's of this bike.
