I make the doughnuts and the kids love em.  It does take a while for the oil to cool but I put it back in the bottle and can use it again.

Last trip out I did some prep work ahead of time.  I bought some french loaves and sliced them 1"-1 1/2" thick.  I then slice a pocket in the middle and stuffed it with blueberries.  I then put the slices back in the bag.  I also mixed up a batch of french toast mix. (eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon) I poured it into a used OJ container.  The bread already cut and no cracking or mixing on site made the cooking a snap.  Serve with butter and syrup.

For lunch I made an asian chicken salad that was all prepped ahead of time.  I just cut up the lettuce and dumper the precooked and dresses chicken and pasta then added peanuts, green onion and mandarin oranges.  I had everything in zip lock bags to save space.

enjoy.

One of my camp favorites is Smoked Boneless Country Style Ribs, Coal Baked Sweet Potatoes, and Roasted in the wet Husk Corn on the cob.  Easy to fix, and is always the hit of the campout!  
 Soak the de-silked corn in cool water for a few minutes before placing on the grill...cook til the husk is dry. Then move to warming shelf.
 Wrap the sweet potatoes in foil..along with a couple of pats of butter. Spraying the foil w/non stick (Pam) before sealing helps also. Cook DIRECTLY
on the coals for 20 minutes..turning once.  Then move to warming shelf.
  Lightly season the C/S ribs with original Mrs. Dash..grill on tinfoil to keep from blazing.. turning every 5 minutes til all four sides are done.  ENJOY
