Ok here is mine.

2 slices hole wheat bread
1 Banana
2 Table Spoons Peanut butter
1 Teaspoon Honey

Make a PB&Honey sandwich, then cut up half a banana and put that between the bread and Presto!!! You have a great snack that will give you lotsa calories, protein, nutrients, and it tastes awesome. I've been doing that for a looooooong time. Thanks for the chance to win an edge pro, I've always wondered what they were like.

Bannock was already mentioned, but I'll expand on it.

I typically use a 1 cup of flour to 2 tbsp baking powder ratio, but you can adjust to your needs, and increase the amount of each to fit your particular meal. If you're lazy you could just use Bisquick, but it doesn't taste as good. You can also substitute part of the flour with whole wheat flour, ground flax seed, quinoa, etc. to increase the food value and health benefits (just experiment with ratios before you go out so you're not stuck with something nasty tasting, although this may motivate you to try bugs, or practice your snaring/trapping skills).

You can use bannock to make dozens of different meals. Add trail mix and water and salt or sugar and fry them up as pancakes. Make it thick by adding a little water and salt and wrap it around a stick to bake it over a fire for bread. Mix in brown sugar, cinnamon and water, make it into paddies or coil it into a roll and cook it on a flat rock with a foil reflector to make cinnamon rolls. Add cheese, summer sausage, etc. to make pizza. Sprinkle some into your [insert animal that you shot, snared or trapped here] soup as a thickener. Mix with water and salt and pat flat, then cook on a flat rock to make tortillas (add roasted and ground grasshopper or other bugs to increase protein and add really good flavor). Form it into balls and deep fat fry it then roll it in sugar for doughnuts.

There's so much you can do with bannock and you're only limited by your imagination!

Corned Beef Hash

GREAT camp food. High in protein, fat, starch and salt. Easy to carry, and good leftovers. Can be cooked easily many ways. Done it on a camp fire with a cast iron pan.

Quarter and boil potatoes. Usually about 3. cook for about 10-15 minutes, don't boil them fully. Take them out, chop them up into chunks about the size of a pinky finger tip. throw in an onion and caramalize it, add the potatoes and start to fry them. Open can of corned beef chop it up and fry it up with the potatoes and onions. I like to make a fried cake out of it by kind of mashing it together and then frying it. Some people just leave it loose

If at home, poached eggs are great on top.

Sticky Rice bars-instant calories and easy on the stomach for long hard hikes. also SUUUUPER cheap.
boil long grain white rice on a rangetop or over a fire in a skillet with a small amount of salt and 2tbsp of sugar for every cup of dry rice. scoop into baggies and compress into a bar-like shape, refrigerate overnight. by morning they will be dry and sticky and hold shape-you can eat it in bar form with your fingers. Civilizations were built on rice and 50% of the world eats it as a staple food. It works.

Good for several lunches or dinners I always take backpacking...

roll or two of dry hard Italian salame

two, sometimes three cheeses -
Hard Cheddar

Parmigiano-Reggiano

Pecorino

couple of baguettes, saltines, packaged flat bread

apple, pear, orange

Lasts for days and provides a great opportunity to test blade steels...

Tuna Noodle
packet of microwavable mac and cheese
packet of tuna
boil 2/3 cup of water add mac to water and let sit for 2 mins or so.
add packet of cheese and stir well.

[Slidetechnik]

1 regular can french onion soup, 1 small can beef consome, 2 cups uncooked white rice.

Cook rice as normal but substitute soup and consome for the water you'd usually use.

Lots of calories, good for outdoors if you are willing to carry a couple cans.

Alright quietmike, I'll post a cooking tip to keep this one going. This has potential to be a great post so I'm surpised more people have not added to this.

Beans are a phenomenol food source full of flavanoids and when dried last indefinitely on the trail. If you want to cook beans to make chili, etc. you can put beans into a Nalgene bottle in the morning and keep them in there all day during your hike. When dinner time rolls around and you've set up camp and your fire, your beans are soaked and ready to cook with little to no effort on your part. By soaking them you can cook them for a fraction of the time saving prep time, cooking time and fuel (if you're cooking them over a stove). This gives you the base for tons of recipes:

You can soak black beans and form them into patties and season them to use as a meat substitute for hamburgers or mix them into hamburger to make the meat go further and to make the meal healthier.

Add tomato paste (you can even dehydrate it), brown sugar, dried minced onions, some smoked bacon, etc. to make chili.

 

[kage]

I'll throw in another simple one.

If you have a dehydrator you can dehydrate spaghetti sauce (your own or a bottled sauce). I use the multi-grain omega-3 thin spaghetti or angel hair pasta (it actually tastes really good, much better than the whole wheat pasta) for shorter cooking times and you can save fuel by soaking them in cold water for short while first (not too long or it gets slimey) and then heating the water with the pasta in it. Drain most of the water off and add the dehydrated sauce mix and serve. Real parmesan is a hard cheese and keeps for a really long time on the trail so you can have it to top off the pasta. For more flavor you can add turkey pepperoni or salami, which also keeps just fine without refrigeration.

Here's one of my faves....

I eat it as fast as my wife makes.


Cranberry Trail Bars
Ingredients:

* 1/3 cup sesame seeds
* 1/3 cup hulled sunflower seeds
* 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
* 1/3 cup chopped almonds
* 1/3 cup unsweetened dried coconut
* 3-1/2c cups crisp toasted rice cereal
* 1 cup dried cranberries
* 3 tablespoons peanut butter
* 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
* 7 cups (12 oz.) mini-marshmallows

Directions: In a medium frying pan over medium heat, combine sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pecans and almonds until sesame seeds are a pale gold, about 3 minutes. Add coconut and stir until sesame seeds are golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in cranberries and cereal. Remove from heat. Next, combine peanut butter, butter, and marshmallows in a 5-6 qt. pan. Stir often over low heat until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Add cereal mixture and stir quickly to coat evenly. Pour into in a buttered 9 x 13 pan and use the back of a buttered spatula to press into a firm layer. Cool until bars are set and cut into 24 pieces. Store in an airtight container or storage bags for up to three days.

This is an easy, one pot standby for me.

To boiling water add:

One packet of instant mashed potatoes
One small can of chicken or diced ham
Veggies (fresh, canned, dehydrated, whatever)


It's far from fancy, but it is fast, easy, non-perishable, packable, and filling.:thumbup:

 

[InsaneMachine]

Here is what i brought on a 3 day hiking trip for breakfast or quick food break if I was in the mood.

Bagels
Hard Salami (get the kind that is sealed nicely. I don't know if the deli will hold up)
Pepper Jack Cheese (feel to replace cheese with other cheese)

One Pot Apple Dumpling

What you need:
3 plastic sandwich bags
1 cup biscuit mix
1 cup dried apples
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons of butter
2 1/2 cups water

Prep before your trip: Measure biscuit mix and put it in one bag. Put 1 cup of dried apples in a second bag. Put sugar, salt cinnamon in a third bag.

While camping: Place apples into pot with 2 cups of water. Cover the pot and let the apples soak for at least 1 hour. Then, place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil, lower to simmer while you make the dumpling. Then, make the dumpling by adding 1/4 cup water to the biscuit mix and mixing into dough. Next, add the sugar-spice bag contents and butter to the simmering apples. Use a spoon to spread the dumpling dough over the apples. Replace pot cover and simmer for 15 or more minutes, until the dumpling is dry in the middle.
