Recently, I wanted a white board to have a physical list of homemade healthy food available at home. We didn’t have the money for one so we bought some dry-erase markers and taped old paper bags onto the back of the glass of our rarely used china cabinet. I like having a big visible list in the kitchen so my husband and I could refrain from opening the fridge several times a day. I also like planning a day before or on the day of so I can gouge what we’re craving for and which ingredients we have available that day.
Forgive the handwriting but I listed down several foods and recipes that we enjoy and have been repeats in our diet. We also wanted it to be relatively cheap so we process and prep meals at home to save food. All of the meals and food items listed are vegan. So far, we’ve been saving up great and feeling better with relatively healthier eating :D
How do you plan your meals?

For how many people do you cook for and what meals do you usually prepare in camp?
For about 50 people 3 meals per day.
There isn't oven, and we mostly cook on wood stove in 50l pots. So we are little bit limited in what we can cook. It is usually pasta, potatoes, rice, bulgur, couscous and sauces.
But favourite meal is some India with flatbread (translated don't know if it makes sense). You wouldn't believe how quickly it disappears.
