Camp freezer cooking

In a couple of weeks our wee family is heading off to snow camp at Mt Ruapehu! Wohoo! This will be our fourth year in a row helping out - my third as camp cook. Last year I was 7 months pregnant with L, so I didn't get to do any snowboarding. I'm hoping this year Paul will watch L some of the time so I can hit the slopes. I'd also love to take L sledding as it will be her first time in the snow!

In any case, I'm usually much more organised about my camp menu planning than I have been this year. Thoughts about moving to Wellington next month have me all distracted. So when I saw that Money Saving Mom and Life as Mom are freezer cooking again I thought I would use it as inspiration to get planning.

Here's what I'm thinking we're going to eat at camp, and I'll make notes of the food I plan to prep and freeze beforehand.
