7 people, 1 tent, rain, s’mores, canoeing, mosquitoes, biking and cooking over an open fire…it was memorable! We started our annual camping/canoeing trip several years ago and they’ve gotten much easier because the kids are older and can help out quite a bit at this point. This year, 4 of the kids were given specific cooking responsibilities. We had….
…The S’mores Elf…
…The BLT Queen…
…The Breakfast Babe…
….and, The Hot Dog King!
The kids’ help made these meals pretty easy. They were responsible for packing all the food/supplies needed to make their meals, prepping them to be used and helping the rest of the family cook them. This gave me the time to roast foil packs of veggies and apples and pack the lunches we ate away from the campsite.
The beauty of the ‘mostly’ real food meals was that we really enjoyed the splurges…thank you S’mores Elf!…and we still felt great at the end of the weekend.
What would a ‘mostly real food’ approach look like for your family? How would you get them on board with the idea? I’d LOVE to talk to you about it! It’s doable and easier than you think. I have a 2-3 spots opening up in my 1-on-1 online nutrition coaching very soon…and an option for 3 month goal coaching (more on this soon!).
