Planning a Menu for Boating

Planning a menu for your boating trip, then making a shopping list from your menu will help ensure all needed supplies are on board. Break the menu into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for the number of days you will be eating on board.

When stowing provisions, a menu will help in storing the last to be used items first for ease at time of meal preparation.

I like to plan a menu to cook once, eat twice as much as possible. For instance, boiled potatoes may be on your menu. Cube potatoes before cooking and make extra. Cool and refrigerate any leftovers. The leftover potatoes can be used to make potato salad, corned beef hash, browned with onions for the next dinner, or added to an omelet for breakfast.

An article I have written, Menu Planning For Boating, outlining 5 reasons for menu planning before your next boating vacation.
