[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1683252, member: 91402"] Morning food on my trips is usually instant oatmeal with some home dried berries, apricots, cherries, or prunes (don't want to be bunged up on a pack trip) thrown in. Pour boiling water in a large cup, add berries, stir for a minute and add oatmeal. Sometimes we also add wheat germ or granola Use what is left of the hot water to make a large hot drink. Dehydration is sneaky and easy to fall for when backpacking. If you are lucky, and in a group so someone can carry an ultralight frying pan, powdered eggs and skim milk makes a nice omelet and mixes can be put together at home where water can be added to make pancakes or bannock. Lunches are normally eaten out of a bag. Gorp, made up of favourite selections at a bulk food isle and/or power bars is a staple, but leave out chocolate or anything else that can melt in the heat or break your teeth when it's frozen. Suppers can be the Mountain House type stuff or home built. Some powdered soups are excellent and an easy source of bulk with rice or noodles added, and packets of spice are light. Just make sure it's filling because keeping your energy up is essential on a pack trip. Finally, after the evening meal, an English Breakfast tea bag steeped in some hot water with an ounce and a half of Fireball Whisky added makes a great muscle relaxant. [/QUOTE]
