1. franks & beans sausage a good breakfast including eggs, bacon, toast - can make it all on a griddle over fire steaks - seasoned to your taste burgers
2. Make tin foil dinners. You add the ingredients, leave it to cook, and there's no cleanup! Here are recipes and tips: http://www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/camping-recipes/tin-foil-dinners.htm Have fun!
3. You have good recommendations on dinner, here's a nice, easy dessert. You need: 1 Large can of peaches or pears (other canned fruit will work, too) 1/2 cup of any flavor cake mix. Open the can and drain about 3/4 of the juice into a separate container. Stir the cake mix in with the juice and pour back into the can on top of the fruit. Cover with foil and cook to your liking in a campfire. Make sure to let it cool off for a while, the fruit underneath will be very hot.
4. Nowadays, it really depends on what kind of camping you are doing, and gear that you have. With a good campstove, you can cook anything you could at home. If you are dealing with just an open fire, you can still cook almost anything, but you have to use a little ingenuity. Dutch ovens and foil packs work really well in this case. It also depends on how much room you have to pack stuff. If you are going by vehicle or camper, you have plenty of room to pack things, and ways to keep perishable items cool. If you are packing a backpack for a hiking trip where you pitch camp every night in a new place, you can take considerably less, and nothing perishable. I know this hasn't been very specific, but I hope it helps.
5. I used to (I don't eat meat anymore) make burgers at home, I would bake them in the oven until they were almost cooked all through...then i would wrap them in tin foil and heat them up over the fire...it doesn't take long and if you leave them a little undercooked, they will retain their juice. You can wrap up potatoes in tin foil and put them under the earth near your fire....leave them all day (night)...then eat them when you want, I like taking them out in the morning and re-frying them for breakfast. I have a little grill and brush olive oil onto all my veggies and cook them over the fire. http://www.camprecipes.com/ :)

8. My sons were big potato lovers and so I always brought a few potatoes along when camping. I'd bring my hand metal grater ( similar to a cheese grater) and peel the potatoes first. Then I'd heat up a well seasoned cast iron pan or griddle and simply grate the potato into circles like pancakes. You can season with salt and pepper. Sometimes I would bring a small bag of Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over each potato circle. On occasion I would throw in a few chopped pieces of ham if you like. When I'm making it at home I take a few chopped chives and throw that on while it's cooking. This is very easy to make( no eggs, no milk,) and I do this often at home as well. Flip it over a couple of times until it's lightly browned. You don't need anything to hold it together as it will cook all in one piece. They are quite tasty.
9. I learned about Walking Tacos at a summer camp where I worked, and now I make them when I go camping. Cook up some either ground beef or thinly cut chicken strips. Season with Taco Seasoning or Salsa. Open a small snack sized bag of Fritos (or your fav corn chip) for everyone who is going to eat. Put a scoop of seasoned Meat into the Frito bag. Add taco toppings as you like, salsa, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, tomato, peppers, etc. Roll the top of the bag down and shake a few times to mix. Open the bag and use as a bowl. Eat with a spoon. Enjoy.
10. Tin foil meal. Pre-cook some marinated chicken breasts. Cut them up small. Lay out aluminum foil squares. Place chicken, butter pats, canned veggies, canned potatoes or cooked rice on them, season to taste, fold up to hold in juices, and take with you. At camp, throw them onto the coals for long enough to heat up...everything is pre-cooked! Pie irons. Spray with non-stick cooking spray, and then place anything you can cook between two pieces of bread inside. Pizza, pie filling, grilled cheese, meat. Or make french toast batter and dip and cook. You just hold them over the fire and grill.
11. taco, soups. stews, baked ham, any of these you can have left overs.
