We are constantly watching supermarket shelves for new choices for meals. We
watch the calories per serving and cook time. We watch for cooking time of
under 10 minutes. This helps us conserve fuel and reduces weight. That usually
rules out the rice dishes. Since we are cooking for 2 we also watch for 3-4
servings per package. Buying in the grocery helps keep the costs down.
Here are some of our dinners:
We have a couple of others we are checking out. One is an Asian noodle dinner.
We add olive oil to most of the meals to add a boost of calories. (We carry
the olive oil in an 8 ounce water bottle.) After our hiker appetites kick in,
we add ramen to most of the meals to increase amount of food and calories. We
have found we can buy it cheaply most anywhere and we don't care if it gets
crushed.
