Usually we end up having lots of meals that have dried pasta etc. What kinds of gluten free menus would you recommend? I think I could probably go to Pack-it-Gourmet and Camp Chow for ideas too... but those get expensive. I like packing my own food, but we don't bring much that needs to be kept... fragile (e.g. not much fresh food).... Ideas? Go! |

I'm actually looking mostly at GFree. I guess Quiona or Gfree pasta is the obvious answer... |

I think you will find more ideas and options at Outdoor Herbivore than the others. I buy a lot from them, not just because it's vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, or dairy-free, but because I like them and the "hungry single size" works for me. You will also find some ideas and options at Hawk Vittles . I have him substitute quinoa in his Cashew Curry meal, which I really like, to make it gluten-free. Oats, of course, can be eaten as oats, or turned into muesli or granola, or even baked into bars with other ingredients. Quinoa and rice can also be eaten as breakfast cereals with nuts and dried fruits and cinnamon, etc. Quinoa, which makes a good substitute for couscous in recipes, rice, and gluten-free pastas can all be used as meal bases with meats, fish, beans, lentils, vegetables. You can even find dairy-free protein powders for smoothies to add to breakfast. There are plenty of "milk alternatives" in everyday life - like almond, cashew, soy, or coconut milk - but finding dried ones might take a lot of searching online and by then you might not have much cost advantage. I think you can find coconut cream at Pack-It-Gourmet, but I'm not sure how that would work for flavoring cereals, smoothies, etc., but might be worth a try. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask here or email me. |
