Breakfast tacos… sausage, egg, black beans, salsa and some cilantro… key move- gottta have a gas stove- use the burner to char some of the tortilla shell- just toss it on top and flip a few times.

When you burn 6000 on a hike you actually need to eat more than any normal day. Interesting a packet of tuna is 80 calories and a packet of Spam is 230. Plus tuna is 1g fat and Spam is 21g fat. Funny how different nutrition is viewed when you’re gonna burn 5000/calories a day.

When concocting my backpacking recipes I often scour the dollar store for ingredients. Thought I grabbed some Parmesan Cheese today. There’s definitely zero cheese in here. But a whole lot of rice flour and sodium phosphate. WTH… off to the garbage w this stuff, yuck.

It’s a little bit psycho, little bit OCD, little bit ADD, and a little bit of fun (for me?) making my own freeze dried backpacking meals. Trying to figure out how to add calories to my Pesto Pasta. Already using olive oil but can’t seem to get even close to 1000 calories.

It’s rare I think “that was too much cheese” for a recipe but i think i’d use a little less on this one. Otherwise this one was tasty.

I always try to keep moving. But finally got two backpacking trips on the calendar for this year. Weekend of April 11 I’m going to knock out the NY portion of the AT and then May 30 i’m gonna retrace some of the NJ sections i loved with . Pretty stoked to have something on the calendar to look forward to. Legs are ok but gotta get things into gear a bit to make sure they’re fun trips and i don’t have to kill myself to get through them.
