I would never bring freeze-dried foods on a one-night camping trip. That stuff is for extended backpacking trips (i.e. a week or more) where you can't afford to carry even an ounce of extra weight.
Bring just normal food as suggested by a number of posts above. When bike camping my strategy has always been to shop as near to daily as possible so that I was only carrying a one day supply of food and could maximize the number of perishable fresh food meals (as opposed to canned or packaged food). Spaghetti and sauce is a good easy choice if you have water available where you're camping. You don't need to be too picky...any calories taste good when you're camping, and especially so if you've expended a bunch of calories getting there.
