24 Fire-Free Camping Meals

This blog article was originally posted on my first blog In Our Pond.  I started out trying to put all my travel content on my homeschooling blog, but it grew to be too big.  So, I'm moving all the road trip stuff over here!  It'll probably take me a while to move all the posts, but I'll also be posting new content on here as well.  In Our Pond will now be exclusively for homeschooling and parenting content, while this blog (Party Through the USA) is for all the family travel posts.  Check them both out!

I grew up camping, and love the smell of campfires and the way food tastes when it's been cooked over one.  Due to all the forest fires in the western part of the US and Canada, we haven't been able to have campfires for most of the summer.  Not being able to sit around the fire in the mornings and evenings is a bummer, but the real challenge comes in planning meals, especially for a large group.  When I was helping my mom plan our next camping trip, I decided to make this list of no-cook or just-add-water meals.  Enjoy!
