Expedition Food

| June 8, 2008

This is a five-day breakfast and dinner menu which I have been refining over the years.  The leftovers (if there are any) from one meal work well with other meals and five different breakfasts/dinners keep the choices interesting.  For more days, just double or cherry-pick extra meals.  The idea with all of these is easy, quick cooking with minimal clean up, and thus less fuel usage.
