Backpacking Menu

The food Polly and I put together for the weekend was a huge success so I thought I would share our menu:

Breakfasts one and two: Quick 1 min oatmeal with brown sugar. Green tea.

Lunch one: Bagels and cream cheese, beef jerky, home mixed trail mix (cashews, honey roasted peanuts, banana chips, m&ms, yogurt covered raisins), fresh oranges

Dinner one: 2 cups instant rice, 1 can cream of celery soup, 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 large foil packet of precooked/diced chicken- all mixed together and heated through and a little later the boys also made instant 4 cheese potatoes, instant gravy, and another packet of chicken. 

Lunch two: Hard salami, pepperjack cheese, wheat thins, and bacon cheddar squeezy cheese from a can. Fresh oranges, velveeta shells and cheese, and more trail mix.

Dinner two: McCormick Zesty Italian Marinara sauce packet (add a can of tomato paste), whole wheat noodles, whole grain artisan bread- warmed on a rock by the fire.

Snacks throughout the trip (and breakfast three): Various flavored granola bars, trail mix, fresh apples and oranges, s’mores, kettlecorn, hot chocolate, propel flavor packets for water, and a few other things I can’t remember right now. 

The food was a bit heavy but oh so delicious and worth every pound carried.  We ate a good portion of it and didn’t come back with too many extras…  Now I’ll just need to find a few new meal ideas for the next trip!!!
