I haven't read through all the replies, but did anyone suggest packet potatoes? these are a must while camping! use aluminum foil and place inside sliced potatoes, chopped onion, lots of butter!, salt & pepper, and other seasonings like garlic salt, Johnney's seasonings salt, or whatever you like. Roll up and seal the foil and cook over a fire. They are the best! You can also do them in the microwave in a glass bowl, but it just isn't the same!

Maybe she was trained in that foreign chef school. I think it's in the city of France. I'm not sure if they eat veals over there, tho.

I just found a totally wonderful site full of camping recipes.
One of the articles lists the foods you should bring with you "just in case."
# peanut butter in plastic jars;
# concentrated juice boxes;
# canned tuna, ham, chicken, and beef;.
# dried noodles and soups;
# beef jerky and other dried meats;
# dehydrated foods;
# dried fruits and nuts; and
# powdered milk and fruit drinks
BTW, I'm not sure why the alcohol argument is continuing, but I think it really illustrates a truism about the Internet. At least half of the folks posting here aren't what they claim to be. Anyone trained as a chef who uses "everybody knows" as documentation of a statement of supposed fact is obviously not all (or not as much) as s/he claims to be.

Cooking with alcohol is haram.
I think someone's husband is going to be very, very upset when he finds out that he's been fed alcohol.

A few of the kitchen stores in town offer "cooking schools". One of the upcoming 4 hour classes will concentrate on tailgating menus. Any tailgate idea would easily translate to the campground. A ball cap and a grill fork are included as gifts for the students.

Maybe Jen went to the same cooking school that a couple of others around here seemed to go to? You know the one where you buy a hat and a knife and start insisting people call you "chef."
As for the camping thing, I like to have everything done in advance. I've frozen steaks in with the marinade and when you let them thaw, they turn out prefectly marinaded. Burgers are good too. Oh, and hot dogs - but only if you can find the veals-free kind. I think that they are kosher. Hope that helps!

Will an example from personal experience help?
An ex-boyfriend of mine was in treatment for alcoholism, and was taking prescription Anabuse. He was warned by his doctor to steer clear of anything containing even trace amounts of alcohol. We went out for a very nice dinner and he ordered something he thought would be safe, stuffed pasta shells. I warned him to ask about the sauce but he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the waiter and admit to the Anabuse. Well, it turned out the sauce had chianti in it, although it had been left to simmer for several hours that morning. He was violently ill and I'm just glad it had been left to simmer that long. Because had it been any more potent, he could easily have died.
I no longer believe there is such a thing as an insignificant trace of alcohol. It's all bad and I don't serve anything that's been made with alcohol to anyone without checking first to be sure it's okay.
Getting back to camping recipes...
If you have access to a campfire, don't forget s'mores!

Jen, if you went to cooking school then you should know better. The alcohol only partially burns off. Do you know this or are you trying to trick your husband? If his religious beliefs are important to him, you have to know these things.
Posters here have proven this by posting evidence. Any basic cooking school would know that. I've never attended cooking school and I know that. How come you don't?

This is certainly a very educational thread. Following Chef JenJen's link I found:
Islam, Food & Diet.
As far as the information I have goes, cooking with alcohol is haram. According to most if not all of the scholars, alcohol is najis or filth. We would not eat anything cooked in filth no matter if it has evaporated or not.
So whether or not the alcohol evaporates is a moot point.

You didn't pay to attend this "school", did you? 
Some of the alcohol evaporates. But not all of it. As many people have stated, there are various resources on the internet that can help you learn more about the science of cooking. It mite be a good idea.

Jen,
I urge you to do some research on this. You'll soon see that I am right. It would be a shame to serve alcohol to someone whose religious beliefs forbid it. I also looked at some Muslim sites, many of which say cooking with alcohol is forbidden.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=muslim+%22cooking+with+alcohol%22
Here are the facts from the Agricultural Research Service of the USDA:
ALCOHOL IN COOKING
Alcohol remaining after preparation:
100% Immediate consumption
70% Overnight storage
85% Boiling liquid, remove from heat
75% Flamed
Baked or simmered:
40% after 15 min
35% after 30 min
25% after 1 hour
20% after 1.5 hour
10% after 2 hours
5% after 2 1/2 hours
