...isn't really all that easy. I'm pre-cooking all of the food for our Midsummer camping trip. I figured it would be easier than cooking from scratch; all I have to do is reheat the dishes and freezing them will keep all the other stuff cold as well.

But, that means I'm prepping for:

Chicken penne ala vodka.
Athenian frittata.
Potato salad, cranberry-chicken salad, and tuna mac sans mayonnaise, which will be added before eating to keep it from going bad.
Two loaves of sourdough bread.
Lemon/blueberry scones and maybe some orange cranberry scones as well.
Massive amounts of iced tea.

Most of all this will be prepared and put into trays or plastic bags for mixing together at our campsite.

So yeah, it'll be easier at the campground but it's a lot of work now.

If you can manage space for it, freeze your iced tea as well - for smaller quantities, baby bottle bag liners work well.

A tip I learned from the Food Network (curse you thank you, Alton Brown) is to line you cooler with a layer or two of dry ice, cover that with foil, a layer of ice and then put your food items on that.
