Tomorrow we’ll be heading down to Mammoth Cave National Park for a weekend of camping. It’s become a tradition and it’s something the boys love doing.

This year The Husband has put me in charge of planning the meals (it was a challenge of sorts…). Now, those of you who read Mommy Bits regularly know that I have NO meal creativity what-so-ever. I can cook three things and they are all pasta based – veggie lasagna, homemade mac-n-cheese, and spaghetti.

I really want to surprise The Husband with my creativity so this morning I turned to my friends on Twitter for help and they didn’t let me down! My goal – come up with three days worth of meals that do not involve pasta!

Here’s what I have come up with so far:

Breakfast:
Oatmeal/Cold Cereal
Baked pancakes (courtesy of Andrea at UDandi and Laura at World’s Best Burger)
Breakfast Burritos

Lunch (nothing fancy):
Sandwiches
Hot Dogs

Dinner:
Rachel’s Mouthwatering Campfire Burgers (courtesy of Rachel at From the Land of Monkey’s and Princesses)
Red Beans & Rice

Snacks:
Backpacker Trail Mix
S’Mores (Courtesy of Justin Rains)

I think this is a pretty good start. I’m definitely coming out of my culinary (I use this term loosely) comfort zone, which was part of the challenge. I’ll let you all know how it goes…… Wish me luck!
