Backcountry adventure and cuisine for aspiring hiker trash
Good To-Go Mexican Quinoa
I’ve never been a quinoa fan, but this dish surprised me It seems like I always have a few “leftover” backpacking meals in the pantry. They come in handy on the occasional bachelor’s night. Recently, I found myself home alone with nobody to make…
Good To-Go Granola
Finally, something that worked for ME for breakfast If you’ve read through much of this blog then you know that I struggle to deal with breakfast. Over the years I’ve cooked fancy breakfasts, done granola bars, and tried smoothies as well as oatmeal and…
Heather’s Choice Chicken Mole
Lo, finally another contender for top commercial backpacking meal So, I had decided that on my recent section hike that I would take one night off from cooking and bring one commercial meal. I wanted it to be something I hadn’t tried before, and…

Uruguayan Lentil Stew
Dress up your lentils with this recipe I am just now returned from my Florida Trail section hike, and I don’t have time to work on a trip report just yet. But a food report, now, that doesn’t take nearly as much time. And…
Good2Go Thai Curry
The best of all commercial backpacking meals I have had this meal several times in the backcountry when I didn’t feel like doing real cooking, and I’ve even made it at home a couple of times when the pantry was otherwise bare. When all…
Tiberino Spicy Spaghetti
A gourmet one-pot pasta dish, but is it worth the cost? One day while surfing the ‘net I stumbled into Tiberino pasta dishes. Lots of intriguing options, all of which can be made in a pot or skillet by merely adding water and cooking…
Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta
One of my simplest recipes, but tastes like something from your kitchen at home Well, in this case it DID get made in my home kitchen, but it was trail-style. This was the leftover dinner from my last hike, and one night when it…
