I might put it this way: while I try to make the majority of our food from scratch, not all of it happens. I like to have snacks for the boys in the van, we travel and hike and as well the oldest has school lunches. Sometimes it is just nice to be able to buy a box of treats [...]

Years ago on trips I nearly always had handmade fudge with me, tucked into my pack, on cold trips. There is nothing like a slab of it while sitting on top of your hike/snowshoe. You earned it! And all that sweet, sweet fat is going to keep you warm – especially if you live where [...]

There is a simple lunch I sometimes have. To me it is beyond comfort food. A bed of savory rice, topped with a crispy fried egg, preferably with a bit of yolk still left, so it can mingle with the rice. It is quite easily made while hiking. Well…if you don’t mind doing a little [...]

Crunchy, Salty & Sweet Trail Mix? Oh yeah. This is the good stuff. The stuff you hide and deny you have with you. There is so much more to life than buying a 5 pound bag of pre-made trail mix at Costco that isn’t at its freshest and frankly, taste is lacking. The textural of [...]
