Hi Ken
Camping and food belong together.
What to take depends mainly on what you like to eat, I guess.
But you have to consider other things as well. For example:
How well does your fridge work?  Are you planing to stay in
isolated places and are you on a special diet?
We try to keep it simple. I plan a few meals in advance so
I know how much to take. Avoid meats as they spoil.
Canned tuna is very versatile. Anything in cans is safe.
There are lots of dried goods as well. (eg. rice-a-roni)
Things that keep well are: Bread, jam,cheese,eggs,margarine in
buckets (can also be used to clean greasy hands after car
repair) Instant coffee, tea, creamer, granola, oats, small jar
of mayo, etc.   Fresh fruit : Apples and oranges are great.
Avoid mushy fruit and veggies. They spoil.
Cooking things I take along:
small water-kettle, medium cook pot with lid, small cookpot
with lid, one good medium frying pan with lid.
One big spoon, and a spatula. Small cutting board.
some forks, knives, small spoons, Bread knife, peeling
knife, can opener, plates etc. Paper plates can be handy.
Don't forget some big coffee mugs.
Have fun.
