Pasta sides plus pouch chicken. If you are feeling ambitious you can add some dehydrated peppers and mushrooms. The pasta sides call for milk but taste just fine without it. Add a little extra butter for a creamier taste. Not sure if you classify butter/margarine as a fresh food.... |

quote lundojam: "Get two or three Bear Creek Potato soup packets. They call for 8 cups of water, so they make quite a bit. If you catch a fish or two, throw them in their and call it bass chowder. If you catch enough, have fish and soup. A Bear Creek potato soup is exactly what I was thinking when I read the OP. Another easy one is a box or 2 of Kraft tuna helper and foil packs of tuna to go with them. |

quote woodsandwater: "Question on the pizza... I will also be out with a group of six soon. I love making pizza using my reflector oven and the pre-made pizza crust where we just add our sauce and toppings. However, we can only make one at a time and for six would be quite time consuming. How do some of you make your pizza ?" JMO but for six, with large JMO, you'd still need to make two. I use jiffy or betty crocker dough mix. |

I need one simple meal idea. Allie came up with 3 of her favorites (chili, burritos and spag), and I really am kind of stuck for the last meal. I have never been in with a group this big (have not traveled with a group larger than 2 for a good 10 years), and I do not want to bring in any fresh food-not even for the first night. So, any suggestions for an easy meal would be much appreciated. Thanks! |

Cheaper option off the shelf would be mac and cheese. While we almost never eat it at home, its one of our favorites in the BW. A couple of tuna or salmon pouches really bulks it up and adds a lot of protein for the money and weight. |

This makes a lot, but maybe not enough for 6. Would be enough if you had a side dish of some sort. My kids both like it (ages 8 and 17) This is not my recipe; it was first posted by The Lorax. I'm adding it here so I will always know where to find it without searching. Because I like it that much. :) I added in the part about the red/pink salmon and the quantity of salmon. Pack the two quart baggies and the salmon together in one gallon baggie, and your meal is all packaged up and ready to pack. ________ Isle Royale Salmon (aka, "The best backcountry dinner you will ever have") I thought I would post this, as my buddy who developed the recipe wouldn't mind. This won first place at Titanium Chef 2002 and I have to say as far as back woods cuisine, it's the best I've ever sampled. Many agree.I'm guilty of even making this at home for dinner. the only thing I haven't done is try fresh fish (poached first) in it. I plan to this upcoming trip. First off, the credit goes out to "Prosecutor". A friend of mine who is lucky enough to enjoy 100+ nights a year in woods and on the water. He's very well known to a lot of outdoors type people as a world class outdoorsman. He came across the wife of a great lakes fishermen and was chatting with her up at Isle Royale. He asked if she ever got tired of eating fish.She explained how creative she is and described a recipe. He started scribbling and asked if he could adapt the recipe. She said yes and he's a nice enough guy to share it with everybody. So I present to you all......Isle Royale Salmon At Home: Package in a quart or half gallon ziplock bags the following, Ziplock 1: 1 package Knorr Vegetable Soup Dip& Recipe Mix 1 ounce dried sliced potato taken from a box of scalloped potatoes 1/2 cup dehydrated onion 1 tsp chicken bullion 1/4 tsp ground thyme 1/4 tsp fresh ground white pepper 1/2 tsp salt Ziplock 2: 1 cup powdered milk 2 Tbs flour 3/4 cup dehydrated mashed potatoes Stick in with the two Ziplocks: 1 7-ounce pouch salmon (some prefer the red salmon over pink if you can find it) On the trail or water: Bring 6 cups water to a low boil. Flake the fish (7 oz. foil pouched salmon)and add to the boiling water with the first ziplock bag of potato, onoin, soup and spice mixture and cook at a low boil for another ten minutes.Turn off heat and slowly add contents of the second ziplock bag of powdered milk/flour/potato mixture, stirring constantly. When the flour is mixed in without lumps, turn down to a low simmer and heat for two minutes. Serve with croutons. |

You can substitute instant mashed potatoes for the dressing. Another favorite is like this but uses home dehydrated ground beef and beef gravy and mixture on top of instant mashed potatoes. FD vegetables on the side. Last and very simple and filling - beans and rice. I like Zatarains. I add a ounce or two per person of cut up summer sausage. Hot sauce to taste. Instant pudding made with Nido and maybe ginger snaps for dessert. |

Fish tacos. Does require bringing in a little fresh food though (onion, cilantro, red pepper and tomato), tortillas (or pitas) and catching fish. |

Maddy The Goose how to video I stumbled upon this from the recipe section here and have made it 4 times. Just need to scale it up for 6. |

quote wingnut: " Pizza made with peta bread for the crust, cooked in a frying pan would be doable. It's much better if you can heat the pepperoni before it goes onto the crust." Good call, esp is we have a fire. Then I could use the embers to set on top of an inverted pot placed over the pizza to melt the cheese. I do always cook the pepperoni first and then drain the fat. Along with caramelized onions and garlic, yummy! |

EDIT: Looking at your post again and it says Spag which I'm guessing means Spaghetti. So if you are planning to fish then I'd suggest fish tacos. I made some that require a little effort on my last trip, but everyone agreed that it was the best meal of the trip. |

More labor intensive, but I've pleased a crowd or two with quesadillas. Simple if your pan is big enough. Pouch chicken. |

Good luck with all the newbies and have a great trip. |
