Thanksgiving Dinner

When is Canadian Thanksgiving? It’s in October, but who doesn't love a feast? Especially after a long day of hiking around in the alpine. That’s why we created our own thanksgiving meals to satisfy immense hunger after 30km+ days. Don’t worry not much was left out! There is cranberries, gravy, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, stuffing, and, the piece de resistance, turkey!

1 serving:

30g instant mashed potatoes

10g instant gravy

30g instant stuffing

15g of dehydrated cranberry sauce

24g of sweet potato bark

30g of dehydrated ground turkey

8g of dehydrated shaved brussel sprouts

Place instant potatoes in a seperate vessel. Rehydrate all other ingredients together. When there is roughly 2 minutes left in the rehydrating process, add the potatoes. Enjoy!

Skurka Beans and Rice

A wonderfully simple recipe taken from professional backpacker Andrew Skurka (Link here). It’s nearly as easy as it sounds! Rice, beans, and taco seasoning in a bag and when you’re ready to eat add some cheese and Fritos. Bam! Good to go. 

1 serving:

42g dehydrated rice

56g dehydrated beans 

6g taco seasoning

Real cheese

Fritos

Mix rice, beans and taco seasoning. Add hot water when ready to eat, after meal is rehydrated add small slices of cheese and crushed up fritos for some pizaz. 

Hot Hiker Mac 'n' Cheese

Another easy meal for any folks with a dehydrator and adding a twist on the classic Canadian staple, KD. We needed to cook our noodles to al dente before dehydrating them. As much as we would like to just add the box noodles, they wouldn’t cook by pouring over hot water in the bush. A few extra ingredients really makes this meal great, especially the dehydrated jalapeño rings, taco seasoning, and sriracha coins. 

1 serving:

100g dehydrated macaroni

24g dehydrated veggies

1 ⅓ tbs cheddar cheese powder

1 tbs powdered milk

1tsp taco seasoning

¼ dried tomatoes

1 sriracha tab

Mix all ingredients together. When ready to eat, add hot water to desired consistency.
