I vary between grilling and reheating on longer trips. Food that I need to reheat can be frozen at home and defrosts in the cooler. If you’re car camping, I pack a grill to use in the campgrounds fireplace. I use one like this, but I cut the legs down a bit as I usually grill on charcoals, not wood.

The first few nights out, I may grill London broil or marinated chicken thighs, corn grilled in it’s husk (like Mexican street corn) or potatoes wrapped in foil and dropped on the coals. These require some attention to make and are great if you have a few people to help with shucking and wrapping. If you go this route, remember to pack salt/pepper, toppings, and a decent carving knife.
Alternatively, I may make one pot meals like goulash, jambalaya, chili, etc at home and reheat. I like these when the weather is cooler and I want cooking to be less of an event. These also only need a stove, but you can reheat bread (wrapped in foil) or tortillas on the fire.
If you want to get real creative, get a Dutch oven and you can have pizza, fruit cobblers, cinnamon buns, cookies, biscuits, ... A Dutch oven is a cast iron or cast aluminum pot with a dished lid you place coals on, to bake the contents. This is probably a stretch for your first trip, but it can be fun, especially with kids. Don’t get the wrong idea here - for the ingredients I use the biscuits, cookies, cinnamon buns that come in those cardboard tubes - this isn’t pasty-chef baking. Here is one, but you will need a hook to rotate the lid for even cooking.

To keep the critters away, make sure you don’t cook more than you can eat, burn your paper trash, and bag the rest. Don’t dump grease as it attracts animals. If you can, strain your dish cleaning water so the food can be put in the trash and not dumped on the ground.
Edit: I forgot to say to have fun, and welcome to camping!
