Sunday Neil and I celebrated our 7th Wedding Anniversary with a camping trip (with the kids) to the Oregon Coast. We lucked out and were able to get a yurt at Cape Lookout for Sunday and Monday nights. We had beautiful weather on Sunday so we spent most of our time at the beach but Monday was dreary and wet so we explored the coast a bit before heading back to the campground for a hike and a wet walk on the beach. The weather got the best of us in the end as it started pouring just as we started to make dinner and poured all night and morning. Either way we had a great time and I’m so happy we were in a yurt!
Let’s get to the food though because that what this post is all about. These are all of my eats from Monday June 1st while camping at the coast.
Breakfast
For breakfast I started with a mug of coffee and a big bowl of berries. We had planned to do up a scrambled tofu and potatoes but our potatoes didn’t workout from dinner the previous night so we kept things light.
Since I was feeling like I needed just a bit more to eat I broke into my Good Habit Box and Neil and I shared the Forest Berry Oatmeal. This was the first time I had tried anything from my Good Habit Bo and I really loved the oatmeal. There were no added sugars just simply gluten free oats, goji berries and some other dried fruit. I added in some strawberries and it was perfect.
Since it was raining we headed towards Pacific City and Lincoln City to see if we could find anything to do. On the way there Neil and I shared the Rosemary Almonds & Apricots which were pretty good and the Peanuts, Pineapple & Seeds which I think were my favorite of the items in the box because they had a nice sweet and spicy thing going for them. We tried the other two snacks on the way home yesterday.
We stopped for lunch in Lincoln City and I had a veggie burger and fries. It wasn’t anything special but it was still good. After lunch we headed back to the campground to go on a hike and then we walked along the beach in search of crabs. While we walked I munched on a Chia Bar. I picked up the coconut flavor to try and it was pretty good but I have to say the coffee one is still my favorite.
After our hike and beach adventure we were all pretty hungry so we headed back to the campsite and brought out the veggies, vegan onion-dill dip and sparkling water while we got a fire and dinner started.
Just as I was finishing up the potato bundles to go on the fire it started to rain and that rain quickly turned to pouring rain. Thankfully Neil took over dinner and he cooked us up some veggie dogs and tended to the potatoes. Not a too exciting dinner but it was good.
The end.
We are headed out camping again in a few weeks and I’m trying to up my food game – what are your favorite foods to cook or bring with you camping?

Happy 7th anniversary! I’ve always wanted to stay in a yurt. And the Good Habit Box looks like it comes with a nice variety of tasty, healthy snacks. I’ll have to check it out.

I also went camping this weekend! We took two big potatoes with us and bought some fresh crab meat that we had in the evening! During the day, I nibble on a lot of freeze dried foods. The main thing I need to not forget is staying hydrated!
Happy Anniversary!!!

I definitely forgot to hydrate this weekend!

I love staying in yurts – but I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at one there! I’ll have to check it out since it’s so close to me!

I love oatmeal when camping! There’s minimal cleanup, it’s super easy to make, and it’s filling. How cool that you had a portion already measured out from the box subscription!

At the co-ops in town there is a dry lentil soup mix you can get in the bulk section. I get that and throw in some carrot, potatoes, and maybe greens if we really thought it through. Bam, super delicious and makes a ton for lunch the next day. Yurt camping is the best! Especially with kids, I love me a mattress.

“Exceptionally tasty oatmeal” – for some reason that makes me giggle.
