Picnic/Camping food

Anyone have some ideas for a good sides for picnics or camping? We camp pretty much every weekend through the spring, summer, and early fall months. After awhile the corn on the cob, pasta salad, potato salad, deviled eggs, and baked beans get old.
Any ideas/recipes you like?, particularly something that can be served cold would be nice.

Yeah, cheese.

Fry the shells a little bit, fresh lettuce, maters, red onion.
Make some fresh pico, cilantro, red onion, jalepenos and tomatoes.
Tasty!
Also you can have breakfast tacos, just put eggs, sausage and cheese in the tortillas instead!
Greta stuff in there.

One hamburger patty, one sliced potato, one sliced carrot, one sliced onion. Salt and pepper. Wrap in foil, throw into the hot coals, keep turning it over every five minutes for about a half an hour.
It's a little mini-pot roast...
Only eat what you catch or kill.
That would not be boring.

Foil is a good---no it is your best friend...LOL...I did steak and mushrooms wrapped tight in foil and cooked to perfection...also did a stew of sorts....beef cut into chunks,...add mushrooms, potatoes, veggies, (carrots and onions)...add a bit of butter, and wrap tightly....let it all steam in the foil and when done, you have a very tasty meal...
Another good one and I still love this to this day...take biscuit dough, wrap it round the end of some doweling (bout and inch thick doweling) and bout an inch up the doweling, cover the end of the doweling as well...
we used poplar trees but they arent available everywhere...
hold it over the open fire (best done as a late nite snack), the dough is cooked when nice and toasty brown....slip it off the doweling, add butter and jam...ohhhhhhhh damn its good...you can add whatever you like to it..but it comes off the doweling like a little pocket, and when its filled with butter and jam, its to die for...
something else is a seafood salad...just a regular tossed salad, but add shrimp, crab, lobster etc...
But when I used to do a lot of camping it was mostly.
Beer and then some more beer.
Jicama, with lemon (and Salt if your Doc is silent)
Mandarin Oranges/Cottage Cheese
Peaches/Cottage Cheese
Fruit Salad (or Fruit Cocktail)
Dilled/Pickled Green Beans
cooked, but cold Ramen or Yakisoba noodles, with a little oil, and Orange Zest, maybe slivered Almonds
Thai Red Curry Noodles (you'll need Hot water)
Cranberry/Orange Compote
Cranberry Sauce, right from the can
Whole Cranberry Sauce, With Apple Pie Filling, and Butter Fried Onions, stir 'em up. I like ratio of 2:2:1.
Hummus, Pita bread (There are hundreds of variations on the Hummus)
Celery Spears, with Cream Cheese filling, dust with Paprika
Carrot/Raisin Salad
Pineapple rings, roasted or cold
Pickled Eggs, Jalapeno Eggs, Devilled Eggs (separate tents, please)
Spiced Peaches/Apples/Pears
Jello, with or without Fruit, with or without veggies
Extra Cheesy Mac & Cheese, baked till it browns on Top, then cooled, and cut into squares, served cold. With or without toasted bits of SPAM.
Red Beans and Rice
Dirty Rice
Rice with Currants
Rice with Raisins (the rices served cold)
Jambalaya
Cous-Cous Salads
I've got Thousands more.
For you, not me. I'm headed to the golden arches.

I'll probably give this one a try, I like the sides that I can just pull out of the cooler and dig in.
Whatever you like to fix at home, to eat, you can fix it while camping. I do the majority of the camp cooking in my 5 dutch ovens. There is really no great mystery about cooking in these black pots. Experiment, and enjoy.
Yea, we make just about everything you can imagine-walking tacos, enchilladas, spaghetti, whatever-but I'm always looking for something that I can get all ready at home and spend less time messing with while I am camping.

Have you ever made Acini de pepe? Better known as Frog Eye Salad?
Try it, you'll like it.

Never heard of it, just googled the recipe and sounds good. I'll have togive it a try also.
