Here are some rules to abide by in any place with wild animals, don't store any food in your tent or leave out in the open during the night.
Cooking on the fire ring great but will involve more time and work (gathering wood, starting the fire, gathering more wood) and practice.
Using a combination of the wood fire & propane stove will make cooking much faster and easier.
Since most of this will be carried in the car (as opposed to carried in by backpack or bikepack), space and weight will not be much of an issue. The two-burner stoves are easier (and more stable) than the one-burner types.
On the propane stove using your pots & pans from home will work without too much trouble. Over a wood fire, plastic handles on the pots could melt. Soot will blacken the bottom of the pots and pans (coating the bottom of the pots w/ soap makes it easier to clean off if do decide to use the fire).

Warm shells if desired (makes folding easier).

Ingredients:
Angel Hair Pasta
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh Garlic
Fresh Tomatoes
Broccoli
Basil
Shallots
How to Prepare:
Simple dish with no set quantities. Cook enough pasta for the folks in your group and eyeball the rest to your liking. Prepare the pasta al dente. In a separate pan, heat the olive oil and add minced garlic, and shallots. Remove from heat and toss oil mixture into pasta. Add finely chopped basil, tomatoes, and broccoli. We like to find fresh vegetables for our camping meals at roadside farm stands. Easy and filling. Enjoy!

Vegan S’mores: Marshmallows aren’t vegetarian; they are made with gelatin, which is derived from animal bones. Whipped marshmallow toppings (available in glass jars) are usually vegetarian but not vegan. Use vegan whipped topping in place of marshmallow for vegan s’mores, or create a graham cracker chocolate “fondue” using vegan chocolate for a different delicious dessert.
