Calories: 1483 Beef Stroganoff Recipe Ingredients If you don't have sour cream powder on hand, a packet of cream cheese saved from your last trip to the bagel store makes a fine substitute. At Home: Place sour cream powder and nutmeg in their own bag. Remaining ingredients go in a separate zipper-lock bag. On the Trail: Place beef mixture in an insulated bowl or pot and add 21/4 cups boiling water. Cover and let stand 10 minutes. Drain off (and drink, if you like) the broth. Add nutmeg and sour cream powder and mix well. Breakfast Burrito Recipe Ingredients At Home: Package hash browns and veggies in the same bag. Eggs and cheese go together in a bag. On the Trail: Place dried hash browns and veggies in a pot or bowl, cover with boiling water, and let stand 5 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess water, using the liquid to reconstitute the eggs. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the potatoes and veggies. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 7 minutes until brown and crispy (a nonstick pan is a godsend on this duty). Turn with a spatula and fry the other side for about a minute. Pour egg mixture right in with the potatoes and cook until the eggs set. Warm the tortillas and wrap around about 1/2 cup of the hash brown/egg. Serve with salsa, ketchup, or hot sauce.

On the Trail: Place the couscous mixture in a pot or bowl and add 11/4 cups of boiling water. Mix well, cover, and let stand 10 minutes (insulate from the cold ground with a fleece jacket).

Bread Recipe By Robert N. Latz (Reprinted from the American Alpine Club, American Alpine News, April 8, 1998) Since its invention by the 1950 Mount Logan Expedition from the University of Alaska, Logan Bread has been used by many expeditions and short-haul trips. Its delicious taste, high calorie content, indestructibility and non-perishability make it a nearly ideal climbing food. The recipe is as follows: 4 cups water Preheat oven to only 300ºF. Mix all ingredients and pour into 2 greased 8x8 cake pans. Bake one hour. After cooling, cut into 2" squares like brownies, then invert the pans to release. Air dry for one day. Store in air-tight plastic sandwich bags. If completely air-tight, it will keep for months without refrigeration. Variations: substitute pure fruit juice concentrate for the honey.

Fry 1 1/2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crunchy. You can eat this dish as finger food right out of a napkin. Serves two. 115 calories per taquito. From: Mark Flood |
Crab
Cakes Drain some of the crab juice from the can. Add the spice-flour mixture and one ounce of olive oil to the drained crabmeat and mix. Cut bagels in half and fry them in a dab of olive oil and set aside. Form the crabmeat mixture into two thin crab cakes the size of the bagel. Bring along a sheet of wax paper if you want to do this perfectly circular. Fry each crab cake about 3 minutes per side in the remaining olive oil until golden brown. Form a sandwich with the fried crab cakes and bagels. From: Mark Flood
