We added another option to our single serving meals this week - our Creamy Italian Polenta with Sausage!
This is an extremely easy meal to make - it's a cook-in-bag meal, so all you have to do is pour 9 oz (a little more than a 1 cup) of boiling water over the polenta – stir – let it sit for about 5 minutes and dig in!
Although we designed it as a breakfast, the Creamy Italian Polenta with Sausage also makes a great dinner. Savory and full of sausage, we think it makes a great, filling meal any time of day!
Each serving makes a serving large enough to feed a hungry man-sized hiker after a long day in the outdoors.
We introduced two new meals to the site this month both showcasing our version of comfort food.
All-American Burger Wrap
We were talking about the food that we crave the most when we've been in the backcountry for several days...and we pretty much all agreed on the hamburger! And so the All-American Burger Wrap was born. Although we admit that it doesn't look like a traditional hamburger - sure does taste like one! Lightweight, super low water requirement and delicious, this is a great meal for kids and burger-cravers alike.
Dottie's Chicken & Dumplings
My grandmother was famous for her chicken and dumplings and they've been a favorite in my family for as long as I can remember. Packed with a variety of vegetables, chicken, traditional-style Southern dumplings and a rich broth, this is a meal that really hits the spot after a long hike. And to top it all off? Some of our delicious Cornbread Toastees!
Dixie Grits
A favorite found throughout the South, grits are a quick, easy and delicious way to start the morning. Traditionally, eaten on their own, or served on the side with eggs, they are almost always accompanied with a crispy piece of toast and our grits are no exception: we serve them up with a package of our Artisan Bread Toastees. Yum!
Freeze-Dried Super Sweet Corn
Freeze-dried corn is restored to its sweet corny goodness instantly when added to water and can even be eaten on it’s own as a crunchy snack! Use in soup, chowder, mixed into refried beans or rice or served as a simple side dish.
Dehydrated Carrots
Delicious and nutritious, carrots make a great addition to stir-fry, pasta sauce, stews or made into a "fresh" carrot salad. Now available in a penny-saving bulk bag size for more carrot crunch for your buck!
Silicone Steamer
We discovered this small steamer some time ago and thought that it would be perfect for steam-baking with silicone muffin cups. The steamer keeps the muffin cups elevated off of the bottom of the pan – so just put a little water in the bottom of your pan, plop in the steamer and baked goods and voila! You’re baking in the backcountry!
