Backcountry adventure and cuisine for aspiring hiker trash
Pasta Con Salsa Caruso
Another famous dish from Uruguay adapted for backcountry enjoyment I made this unusual pasta dish on the 3rd night of my Florida Trail section hike. It normally would’ve been too much for me to eat by myself, but hiker hunger was starting to kick…
Sri Lankan Chicken Curry
A different take on chicken curry I made this one on the 2nd evening of my recent section hike, as the sun was setting over Farles’ Prairie in the Ocala National Forest. I had a fellow hiker with me in camp that night, 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…
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…
African Peanut Stew
A simple and calorie-packed meal I periodically make this dish at home, and it’s my youngest son’s all-time favorite dinner. And it wasn’t terribly difficult to adapt the recipe to something more trail-friendly. It requires several small “fresh” ingredients but everything else about it…
Butter Chicken
A delicious Indian dish so easy to make it almost feels like cheating I made this dish as a lunch on the last day of my recent section hike. We had planned to eat it the night before, but we were still too full…
Chicken & Red Lentil Stew
An Ethiopian delicacy packed with protein So yeah, I didn’t take that picture. I’ll post my usual crappy photo below in a minute. I made this dish for the first time on the 3rd night of my recent section hike. We had just finished…
East African Pelau Rice
A tasty rice dish with a lot of calories I made this dish on my recent section hike, and also enjoyed it back in April in the Shenandoahs. With cashews and coconut milk, it’ll turn simple rice into valuable calories, and the mixture of…
Massaman Beef Curry
An amazingly simple gourmet Thai meal Trust me, it’s WAY more awesome than it looks in the pic that my crappy Galaxy S5 took on my recent hike. That phone by the way was traded in to the folks at the Verizon store yesterday,…
Pizza Pasta
A one pot wonder I made this meal on the first night of my recent section hike, and it was AMAZING! If you like meals such as MH Chili Mac or Lasagna, you’ll love this one, and it really doesn’t take much extra effort. …
