Trail Meals

Here are just a few ideas for tasty picnic meals in the backcountry :)

Some basics that I always take:
  • small squeeze bottle of honey
  • small bottle of olive oil
  • nut mixture (sunflower seeds, plain almonds, flaxseed – all ground up together with a food processor)
  • apples
  • tea bags
  • coffee
  • Costco makes the BEST dried fruit mix – kirkland – in a big yellow bag – strawberries, kiwi, banana, mango, apple, walnuts

 Breakfasts

  • Plain organic oatmeal with dried fruit and nut mixture, with a squeeze of honey
  • Dehydrated milk and granola cereal
  • Dried fruit and granola bar

Lunches

Tuna fish with chopped up veggies and olive oil (tuna in individual sized foil packets, chopped carrots, onions, broccoli) on crackers or bread
  • Chop veggies before hand and place in quart sized ziplock bag
  • When ready to eat, add tuna and oil to bag, squeeze gently to mix
Dried fruit, granola bar, turkey jerky
Bagel with salami and cheese

 Dinners

Curried Veggies
  • Instant rice serving for two
  • Two tablespoons tomato paste and two teaspoons Indian Spice Mix in a snack sized ziplock bag
  • Chopped sweet potatoes, green beans and any other veggies in a quart sized ziplock bag
  • Small can sweet corn, small can garbanzo beans
  • Olive oil
  • Pita bread
In measured boiling water for the rice, cook the raw veggies for just two minutes before adding the rice. Add rice, tomato paste, spice mix, oil, and canned/drained veggies – seal and wait for rice to absorb water. Heat bread in dry pan

Classic Thanksgiving Meal
  • Foil packaged pre-cooked chicken
  • Single serving herbed/garlic dehydrated mashed potatoes
  • Half a bag of Stove Top Stuffing
  • Dehydrated gravy mix to taste
  • Dried cranberries
  • Green beans
  • Salt and pepper
  • Paprika
Bring 2 cups (16 oz) water to a boil. Stir in all ingredients, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes. Enjoy
