Your best recipes in and out of the backcountry

Fresh, dehydrated, fancy, cheap, tasty, palatable. What are some your best/favorite recipes to cook up. 

Buying a dehydrator was a completely worthwhile purchase for me. My faves are kimchee fried rice (prep and dehydrate everything) and loaded mashed potatoes (purchase potato flakes, cheese powder, butter powder; dehydrate broccoli and tempeh, add smoked hickory salt).

edit: I should also include jambalaya. if we are bringing the fry bakes and stove and not just the windburner the first meal is usually jambalaya. instant rice in one fry bake, can of smoke oysters--use the oil for sauteeing onion, bell pepper and a stalk of cellery, boullion cube, tomato paste, sausage of some kind, add the oysters and mix it all up. Depends on also carrying a nols style spice kit for seasoning.

Bring small bag of lemon pepper and 30” of tin foil

NOLS granola pan breakfast...the leftovers for the trail. Pancakes at BC after the send

Dehydrated home cooked meals are best.  Rissoto, sausage & peppers, shepherd's pie, etc.  Burritos first or 2nd night with fresh cabbage (keeps well).  Dehydrate refried beans & salsa.  Cook up canned chicken with taco seasoning or whatever you like and dehydrate that.  You can also buy your favorite curry from the restaurant and dehydrate that.

For breakfast: nothing beats a granola mix (nuts and dried fruit)- lots of calories per oz., full fat powdered milk.  Lunch: Austrian kaminwurst  (the small sticks), Babybel cheese, Polarbröd.   Dinner:  dehydrated beef (I buy the #10 can), instant gravy (pepper sauce), and a couple of semmel knödel.  + tons of Ritter Sport chocolate.
