How to plan meals at the campsite? – main image

On the way, but tasty

Anyone who appreciates the independence of traveling and explores the world with their own motorhome or other vehicle knows how important an aspect of such trips is proper preparation - also in terms of provisions. After all, the point is not to stop at a roadside restaurant or fast-food bar for every meal, but to be as self-sufficient as possible. Thanks to good organization, we will provide ourselves the opportunity to eat what we want, while reducing the burden on our budget.

First of all, you should carefully plan your menu before embarking on a trip. Sounds banal, but it happens that while driving, we either lack an idea for a meal or some of the ingredients and, as a result, give up, we end up in a restaurant. Therefore, it makes sense to have a precise meal plan for each day of travel - it will save you both time and money.

Simplicity is the key

When planning, remember to choose the simplest possible dishes. If someone is a fan of sophisticated dishes and would like to taste, for example, duck in oranges while traveling - no problem, but other participants of the trip may be a bit dissatisfied. It makes the most sense to choose stews , reheat sets and meals that can be quickly grilled. Such a dish can be spaghetti, soup, omelette, stew, grilled vegetables, fish or meat. The leftover food can be used for the next dish.

After you plan your meals, make a list of the ingredients you will need. Some of the products will probably be found in the kitchen cupboard, so you can cross them out of the list, while for the rest you have to go to the store. The culinary essentials include salt, feathers, various spices and sauces . It is also worth remembering that ingredients such as vegetables, milk or cream can be bought later during the trip.

Saving time is essential

Before leaving, you can mix some of the ingredients and mark it properly - this will save even more time spent on preparing meals. You can also put the recipes together with the products (not the ones that should be in the fridge, of course) to avoid getting confused on the go.

When we prepare everything and pack it properly, all that remains is to enjoy the trip. During the trip, we will probably try new flavors, maybe we will also get to know completely new recipes. But each time it will be only our choice, and that's what it's all about.

Now just look for the right campground and hit the road!

5 dishes you must eat in italy
What comes to your mind when you hear the slogan "Italian cuisine"? What foods appear first in the head? Probably pizza, then spaghetti, then lasagne or gnocchi. Or rather ... rice? When it comes to sweets, the first association is panna cotta, or rather tiramisu? As you can see, it's not that simple. What must we eat in Italy, what dishes to know? Much depends on what region we chose as a holiday destination, which part of this beautiful and diverse country. The cuisine of southern Italy is rich, varied, and draws handfuls from the influences of other countries' cuisines. At the same time, it is quite light, and certainly lighter than the dishes on the restaurant's menu in the north. But more on that later. By choosing a holiday in the south of Italy, we give ourselves the opportunity to discover colorful dishes with an intense aroma and taste, with lots of spices and herbs. This kitchen is ruled by, among others oregano, basil, as well as thyme and tarragon. Parmesan cheese is added to many dishes, we can also sense the strong taste of garlic, onions and fresh tomatoes in them. If you order a pizza, it is right here, and preferably in Campania. Spaghetti or more corpulent maccheroni also taste delicious here. How it smells!.

A campsite is an ideal place for a holiday with children - games under the supervision of animators, a swimming pool , and often even an aqua park , and plenty of peers to have fun with. No wonder kids love it. “Does anyone know a proven campsite for children 4 and 8 years old? I am interested in some cheap bungalows or houses by the sea , it would be good to have a swimming pool. What are the costs? 2-week stay, can anyone recommend anything?”. “We are going camping for the first time with our children (daughter 4 years old and son 1 year and 3 months old). We will be grateful for any valuable tips.".
