Ideas for trip away food, dairy free

9 replies

yawningmonster · 26/01/2006 23:49

We are going away for 5 days and will be camping so no cold storage other than a chilli bin and no cooking facilities except the burner. Some of the time we will be able to eat at the campsites other times it will be on the road. DS is 16months and dairy free.
I need ideas of quick easy meals. So far we have
Breakfast:
Quick cook porridge and soymilk,
Toast with olivani, marmite/soy butter
8 pk Mixed mini cereals (most dairy free, me and dad will eat those that arent),

Snacks
Apples and bananas both fresh and dried
Raisins
Dried Apricots
Fruit leathers
Rice crackers
Mini sesameal crackers
Meusli bars
Avocado/Tomato
Water melon
Fruit pots
12 pk mini chips

Lunches and Dinners:
Baked beans
Spaghetti
Canned soup (if I can find dairy free)
Canned meat (if I can find dairy free)
Tuna/Salmon
Bread for sandwiches
Eggs (some hard boiled for day one)
Carrots
Instant potato

Supper
Fruit pots
Cereal
Fruit

More ideas needed especially for dinner and lunch.

When we went away camping with ds at the same age we literally just gave him breakfast cereal (dry) fruit, raisins and biscuits. i made no effort to give him real food - it won't kill him for a few days.

thanks, he is going through this really big eating phase still and want to make sure there is enough for him, plus he is likely to have what we are having and while I could probably happily live off the chips alone I dont think dh will cope with that.

I'm afraid we go as Bobbybob when we are in holidays, otherwise we spend all the holidays looking for safe food.

I believe your list is fantastic already, but then I have a child that is allergic to some many things that he can't have half of what you have on the list.

Regarding dairy free tinned soup, beware of Sainsbury's economy range, milk is not mentioned in the label but, after a reaction to it, and several days of negociating they told me some milk had gone into the tomato sauce of it, probably they have corrected the error but I never saw a recall or allergy warning issued afterwards...

P.S. I may be worth it to post this as well in the allergy topic, it may bring some extra answers.

hi, you're not avoiding wheat are you? bcos ds1 at about the same age was really fond of couscous. Some of the sachets of 'instant' couscous are dairy free - I seem to remember the Sammy's chicken and mushroom was, but the roasted vegetable one isn't. We made a terrible mess on a B&B floor one time but at least ds1 was happy and well fed.

Oatcakes and hoummous spring to mind as well, I know we usually keep hoummous in the fridge but I expect it will keep for a bit out in the open (especially with current temperatures).

Just remember, if you use Swiss Bouillon (it's like chicken cubes but free from everything, you can get it from the Free-From section in Sainsbury's) to do egg noodles they may turn not bad, specially if you add a few fresh vegetables.
