When Kirk and I moved Freezer Bag Cooking into Trail Cooking a year or so ago a number of photos were lost that were connected to the recipes. I am slowly going through the recipes and adding back photos but also when I see instructions/directions that could be better they are getting updated. Check out [...]

I saw a recipe for a pasta salad that gave me an idea for a ‘re-do’. It was a simple one – but the hardest part was figuring out a honey mustard dressing base. Why buy it if you can make it easy, eh? Thanks to Teresa “Dicentra” Black for helping me yesterday with finding [...]

Up first is the Garden Veggie Couscous which we created as an alternative to a commercial freeze-dried meal. It can be made either with organic or traditional ingredients and is vegetarian friendly.

Food can make or break a trip when you have kids along – especially in the 3+ years and up range. Especially if you have them hiking hard miles – they need food that fuels them but also that interests them more so. When Ford was younger (he is 12 now) I did a combination [...]

I have long loved Annie Chun’s products – they can be found in many grocery stores, often in the “ethnic sections” or the “Asian” section. The Noodle Bowls in particular are easy to prepare and taste great with 6 varieties to choose from. The Korean Sweet Chili bowl is a fun one to try, mildly [...]

A recent food find was Frontier Food’s Cheddar Cheese Soup Mix. I picked up a bag in my recent order from Frontier Foods and like most bases figured might as well have fun adding more to the soup – make it heartier. The mix itself is easy to use, simply add 3 Tablespoons of dry [...]

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 [...]
