I second the Stove Stop Stuffing suggestion. Easy as boiling water and adding to stuffing and stir. It is tasty too. Far more tasty than powdered mash taters. It is also filling. Light weight. Super Fast n Easy both cooking and cleaning. Tasty. Hard to beat that. K |

Yep, I use the "chicken" stove top. Light as a feather to carry. All you have to do is boil a cup and a half of water, dump in the stuffing, stir, wait a minute, there's your side. Quick, easy, tasty, filling and light, can't beat it. |

The Hungry Jack hash browns mentioned are very good too, easy to make and tasty. Bring a little oil to brown them up in. I prefer them for breakfast, especially the first day with fresh bacon and eggs. Rice and noodle sides are great too but mashed potatoes just didn't get the love they deserved in this thread:) |

For mashed potatoes, I bring gravy mix and foil pack chicken. Good meal if you come home fishless! I like to have sides that can have chicken added to make it a meal. |

I prefer to have as much of the food as possible squared away before I get up north. I don't want to waste vacation time shopping for groceries and worrying that I'm forgetting something. I also like to take a few onions with me to sauté in butter to enjoy with my fish. But that's just me. |

There are Knorr sides, like pasta, that are easy but I don't really care for them. Good luck! Hope this helps. ~~ |

Greenbush Bakery I have been to their Regent St. location, and I assume their East location will be just as good. The East location is much more convenient when traveling on 90/94. If you need coffee and another snack after Madison but before Eau Claire, stop in at Molly's Rude Awakening in Black River Falls. Molly's |

quote OldHiker: " It is a weird question, but I'm a UW grad so I know the answer...Greenbush Bakery in Madison. Their original location on Regent Street is the one I can vouch for...it's not terribly convenient to the highway you'll likely be traveling through town on, but if you're serious about that quest for the country's best donut, check it out. If you want to chase that donut with a proper breakfast, hit up Mickie's Dairy Bar right down the street...excellent. Both are pretty iconic places. You'll be right near campus too, so if you want to swing by the football stadium or give yourself a little driving tour of campus if you've got time to kill, it's nice there. Greenbush has opened a second location right off the highway that will probably be much more convenient for you...the donuts *may* be the same, but you're going to miss all the ambiance and atmosphere - it's in some corporate strip mall or something. But, if you just want to grab the donuts and get back on the road, I'm sure they're still real good there. http://www.greenbushbakery.com/index.html Enjoy! |

Not only can you get the country's best donut in Grand Marais, you can get the World's Best Donuts! |

Next question, and this one seems weird, best doughnut shop around the Madison, WI area? We'll hit there around breakfast time and in our various adventures we've been trying to find the country's best doughnut. Thanks again for making a southerner feel welcome! |
