quote boonie: "I'm usually solo, so mealtime is not a social hour; therefore, like thinblueline, I usually keep it very simple and easy. Boonie and I must be twins separated at birth... My solo menu is identical. I also bring foil packed tuna/salami/cheese/crackers for snacks/lunches on daytrip days. |

I tend to move most days so prefer no cook lunches, pb&j, summer sausage sandwiches, cheese & crackers, etc. Then maybe grilled cheese & soup for lunch on layover days. Dinner is where I exert the most effort in preparation. I enjoy camp cooking. So meal possibilities are greater. Just have to have the meal cooked, eaten and cleaned up before dark. I hate cleaning up after dark. ~ |

Dinners are always hot and vary based on whatever the group decided ahead of time. Could be chili, pasta, rice/noodles with chicken, fish, etc. |

Meal planning ideas Meal planning is fun for me, our menu is constantly changing. I am amazed at those of you that bake bread, use JMO's to make pizza & treats & cook in Dutch ovens for a crowd. Breakfast on a layover & dinner are meals, lunch is snacks or cheese & crackers. 2 dinners: Frozen ham steaks, cache lake wild rice salad, bisquick complete garlic & cheddar biscuits. Cache lake "pumpkin" pie for Dessert. Marinated chicken breast precooked & frozen, sautéed onions & peppers, cache lake sweet potato cornbread. Backpackers pantry dark chocolate cheesecake. |

For lunch we usually do some sort of a wrap using either tuna or chicken with some couscous, veggies and cheese. For dinner some sort of pasta or rice dish with chicken, tuna or hamburger in it. |

Breakfast is muesli or similar, lunch is ProBars or similar, snacks are nuts with dried fruit. Dehydrated dinners run the gamut from beef stew and bacon baked beans to spicy lentils and chili, to Thai curries. |

Every day for lunch...high calorie/high protein energy bar Every day for dinner...Mountain House dinner or fish with a side of rice or instant mash potatoes. Every day for a snack...trail mix or M&M peanuts or bannock or fry bread concoction, and maybe hot chocolate. I can eat like a king the rest of the year, but when I go up there, I eat like a pauper...and hope to lose some weight. |

From stuff shown I'll make, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, biscuits, bread sticks, gravy, soups, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, chili, beef stroganoff, potato pancakes, in various combinations. Snacks consist of dried fruit, nuts, chocolate, candy, rye pilot biscuits. Toss in a fish meal or 2. No wonder the spare tire is the size it is! butthead |
