As above, pre-made sauces either jarred, packet or homemade are great. Just fry off the meat, poultry, or grill the fish etc and add to sauce, reheat sauce and include the carbohydrate component, such as the rice, cous cous, pasta, bread or potatoes.
I don't normally do packet foods, but we take things such as instant mash with use because it's easier than boiling the mashing potatoes.
Remember to also premake and freeze a spag bol, curry or chilli before you go, they will defrost over a few days so you will have the first few days main meals made and ready to reheat.
Breakfasts are easy, just do what you do at home.
A tip I read in this very site was to make the lunch option after breakfast before you wash up and keep it in the coolbox, especially for the children, so they have all the bits you would like them to eat throughout the day and it is just there ready and you only 2 tidy up sessions a day, one after breakfast and one after dinner.
I will defiantely do this with my DD who is 5, I willmake her lunchbox up and she can take what she likes when she wants rather than coming to me to ask for a sandwich, then an hour later coming to ask for chopped fruit etc. Its not a bother at home, but getting out the chopping board etc and washing every 5 minutes is not my idea of a holiday, especialky when it includes a walk to the wash up or to boil the kettle for hot water.

As Val said, cooking whilst camping takes longer than at home so its good to be prepared. We used to have healthy nibbles nearby for when the littles (and big ones) start moaning that they're hungry.
Mine are now 11 and 14, but they were tiny we used to have just a twin burner & bbq. Spag bol with salad & bread, curry or chilli and those quick cook rice packets, cheesy or tomato pastas, hamburgers, hot dogs, kebabs, grilled meats.
We do quick pizzas using torila wraps, tomato puree and grated cheese, bit of ham or whatever else you like. Wrap in foil and pop on the bbq for a few minutes until the cheese melts. Your 3 year old could help prepare these  I'm all for child labour.
Have fun, keep it simple and know where the nearest tke away is just in case

), we have a stew for dinner. Tinned meat, potatoes, carrots (and whatever else takes your fancy), some mixed herbs all bundled into one pot and stirred often - served with crusty bread and butter is always a warming favourite.
