Been a busy week! Check out these recipes (along with all the others we added this week!) over on Trail Cooking. The Health Bowl was an inspired ‘re-do’. Another hiker sent me his recipe that he cooks in the traditional way (simmering raw rice and red lentils). This version takes a lot less time and [...]
