<p style="margin: 0px;">Hi friends -</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">I was just curious what kinds of healthy stuff you like to cook up...&nbsp; So far it's been possible to eat&nbsp;low fat and&nbsp;nutritious food while camping.&nbsp; I was wondering what kinds of cuisine everyone enjoys...</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">Some of the stuff I make on a regular basis are toaster oven pizzas, hobo stew, stir fried anything&nbsp;(over the butane stove), baked cornbread with chili, etc.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">There are more ideas such as fried plaintains that sound fun and tasty.</p><p style="margin: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">I just discovered the super high fiber, low calorie tomato basil wraps.&nbsp; Good stuff.</p><p style="margin: 0px;"><br>What healthy foods do you like to make?</p>

Hummus and pita with a simple salad of lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and lemon juice/oil dressing makes for a simple but healthy meal.<div><br></div>

<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Fritattas - eggs, greens, veggies and cheese. &nbsp;If you have left over meat, toss it in. &nbsp;Free range eggs and grass fed beef made into sausage...yummmmmy. I use spinach, beet greens, kale, broccoli, peppers - you name it.</span><div><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">~SE</span></div>

Sushi rolls with fruit and vegetable filling. Haven't been courageous enough to work with raw fish. Takes a very clean kitchen for safety. Cooked shrimp and crab, I've used. Rice is easy to make, and so is miso soup and a salad with ginger dressing. Most ingredients don't require refrigeration, except the seafood.

The Diet Coke makes ALL the difference.....

*sigh* have recently made the decision to give up diet Coke and to cut back,on coffee , drinking decaf green tea instead. Or water. My Blood pressure was getting iffy, so...

<P>Potatos fried in peanut oil with sweet onions, orange, yellow and red bell peppers. Topped with eggs over easy.</P>

Baked bean and whole wheat bread, with a side of fruit, or a fruit drink.<div><br></div><div>Good solid all around meal.</div>

Pretty tasting sounding stuff... <br><br>I'll pass on the high cal McDonald's stuff though.&nbsp; I eat at McDonald's frequently (almost once a day) but just get a salad w/ honey mustard (350 cal total) or a grilled chicken snack wrap...&nbsp; A big ole' greasy cheeseburger or three would be so good right now though!&nbsp; <br><br>Our Iowa-based HyVee grocery store chain has been running some cool pre-made salads (usually $4.99) for buy one, get one.&nbsp; They really hit the spot.&nbsp; The special is on till the end of March.&nbsp; I love to cook but any more have been opting for salads to keep the blood sugar in check and to keep losing weight.<br><br>Sushi sounds kind of good.&nbsp; I'll have to get a package at the store today and make it last two meals (carbs).&nbsp; <br><br>Someone said PBJ... That would be fun to try on a high fiber, low cal, wheat wrap.&nbsp;&nbsp; I like the hummus suggestion, too.<br><br>Another thought would be some veggie cream cheese, along with veggies (and some turkey?) wrapped up and cut into pinwheels.&nbsp; The super high fiber tomato basil wraps (12g fiber) are quite soft and would probably work (and taste) great.<br><br>Thanks for the suggestions.&nbsp; They are really helpful.&nbsp; <br><br><br>Brad<br><br><br>

Sushi sounds kind of good. I'll have to get a package at the store today and make it last two meals (carbs).

Make your own. Not difficult. That way you can season the rice to taste and add whatever you have handy. Cheaper too.

Prefer baba ganoush to humus. Just me.

<div><br></div><div>I would kill for some baba ganoush right now! I haven't been able to find a place in MN or TX that makes it as good as a place I used get it at when I lived in CA. It doesn't look too hard to make but I've not been motivated enough yet to try it on my own.</div><div><br></div>

Hi Butterfly, sounds like you had a great trip!! I'm sure you are looking forward to your summer trip as am I. My mom made canned salmon patties when I was a kid and would like to learn how. So would you walk me through it like I wasn't all that bright!? I'm kind of grossed out by the skin and bones, how do you get rid of them? Do you batter the patties before you fry them? Bob<br>

 

[sparky1]

almost every weekend, I slow cook a Roast Beef 2--3 lb cut up in chunks,(4) beef boulion cubes,carotts,Tators,Mushroons, a touch of tenderizer, cook all friday.food for the weekend .maybe a salad w. grated cheese & olives thrown in.
coffee,& maybe some Ice cream for dessert.
Breakfast sometimes I do a nice Cheese Grits Casserole.
yum yum.

I get the small cans of salmon when they go on sale. The pink, red and others all taste different, i prefer the red over pink. I get a mixed salad at Supermarket and just eat the drained fish with a favorite salad dressing. Some crusty bread if hungry and always good red wine.
Stressed for time? I flay one can of sardines, with thin sliced onion on bread. i like the mustard ones. this is good with beer.
Tuna with avocado instead of mayo is surprisingly good, seeing that it is green fish.

 

[ice_maiden]

I'd rather Tuna patties instead of salmon.....and it's cheaper too!

 

[Patrick46]

Oddly enough, I live on the Oregon Coastline and know ALOT of commercial fishermen...but I've never tried those salmon or tuna cakes.

I'll hafta look into that!


me??? just about every morning it's a sliced banana over a bowl of shredded wheat. Lotsa good fibre!

 

[Kimbopolo]

My favorite on-the-road meals: Boiled egg with veggie beans on the side. Banana with a slice of bread covered in Peanut Butter. Cottage cheese with a side of pineapple or mandarin oranges. Hummus and pita chips. Apple and cheese. Bagged salad with low-fat dressing. Sometimes accompanied by Wal-Mart deli chicken wings.

 

[owl]

I'm going with Elvis here, deep fried banana sanwiches--mmm

 

[Unchained]

Geez, Owl, this is the healthy meals thread!
That should be 'deep fried banana sandwiches on whole wheat bread'!
