That sounds like a great start!

First, what kinds of food are you interested in eating? Do you plan to
have cooked breakfast and lunch as well as suppers?

I would suggest that bread/cheese/fruit etc. for lunches is something you
will want to consider, because it allows you (and anyone else you are
feeding) to just take food when they have a break in the day.

There are a number of good period breakfasty dishes (Hanoney, which is
scrambled eggs with onions, and there is also a french-toast-like dish).
These aren't harder to cook than regular breakfast.

For dinner, you might want to consider a dish like Egredouce, which is a
kind of pork or beef stew, with a little vinegar, and thickened with
breadcrumbs.

I know there are a number of good camp cooking articles out there, though
I don't have my bookmark list with me. Look for the articles on camp
cooking by Betty Cook; also try looking for Stefan's Florilegium.
