I know there are some threads on this, but I do believe it has been awhile and I am bored. Actually, restless is more accurate as I am heading out tomorrow for the next few days to enjoy the winter. Curious what you folks bring along to eat. The following are some of my meals for...

*Oatmeal and bacon for breakfast (occasionally eggs that I have cracked and put into Ziplock Freezer bags that can be boiled)
*Bagels (easy to warm up over a fire0
*Honey
*Cheese
*Beef Sausage
*Plenty of tea and coffee
*Anything I can boil in a bag (Byerly's soups are great for this)
*Soup (homemade and stored in Ziplock Freezer bags that can be boiled)
*Stew (homemade and stored in Ziplock Freezer bags that can be boiled)
*Chocolate
*Nuts

Granola cereal, in warm milk for breakfast. I like regular Nido powdered milk. Other wise about the same, bring some pre-cut beef, supplementing the packaged dry soups and let it boil a couple hours over a fire. Chocolate milk, coffee, anything with low bulk and weight. (the beef is my luxury item)

Addendum: scoop some of the good beef bouillon that comes soft in jars into a baggie for the soup. Mmmmm.

A couple home made items:

1. Beef stew with tomato based broth
2. Fried rice (Korean Style) with beef and whatever I prefer
3. Precooked bacon and eggs and Ham and Eggs

Nothing beats hot soup and the much needed liquids in the winter,also a old standby for me is a good gorp of peanuts,M & M's and raisins-many times it gave me a instant boost of energy.

I like to do a lot of the meal prep at home. I also bring things that I usually can't in the summer because you know... refrigeration....

Breakfast - I make pre-made breakfast burritos that I simply warm up over the fire grate or on a frying pan. (Eggs, Sausage, peppers, onions, and cheese).

Lunch - usually snack type stuff. Trail mix/beef jerky (Krave brand), nuts, dried fruit. Depending - I might pack a few pre-made sandwiches.

Dinner - Premade soup/ or / chili. Rolls, the pretzel rolls are super good.

For breakfast I've pretty much gone to bagels with lots of butter, sliced ham, and OvaEasy. Earlier this month I went out for 4 days and also brought some cream cheese and a hunk of smoked salmon - those were excellent bagel-toppers.

For dins, BiB stew or spaghetti are standard, but love to toss other things in there. I like 7of9's idea of Korean Fried Rice. I also like to remake a calzone - the crust on the stove gets wonderfully crunchy. I've also made Northern Pike Phad Thai, and Moroccan Walleye Tajine.

I thought I would add one more item that a friend made on a trip. A premade breakfast biscuit. Think McDonalds sausage McMuffin with egg and cheese. He boiled it in a bag. Worked good.

I have done this too, and I like it!

How do you identify which baggies can handle boiling
