Other Food Items to consider

I know the foil packed meats are a great addition to the food sorces on our trips.  But I know and have used many others from the grocery stores. 
Denny Moore has a nice selection of meals that are in a 100% plastic container.  The down side though they are heavy and bulky. 
Hope some of you have others that might increase the food selection this year.

Here is some options

squeeze tubes of pudding and peanut butter. I put the PB on tortillas for lunch.

I know many do this also but noodle dishes with tuna or chicken or rice-a-roni with the same.

Power bars for lunches. I like Clif bars-they are easy, quick and give lots of energy and nutrition.

sugar free crystal light or tang. Comes in very small plastic container that makes 2 quarts of drink each. Can fit inside of a cup or cook kit. Takes up no room and easy to mix.

Breakfast bars-oatmeal or milk and cereal bars. I used to bring pop tarts for quick no cook breakfasts. Now I go the oatmeal breakfast bars if I do not want to cook.

Those are a few

Hey Bog
I think your meals last Sept where you repackaging and vac sealing the salami and cheese.   With the pita bread.  I'm going to try this in Aug.

Bogs.

Ever try the mini-pitas?  They will save you a little space and might be a bit handier size.

But tortillas are always good.  You can spread a lot of different stuff on them or use them as a wrap.  Not bad for "soft" fish taco's either.

Crackers

I always take a couple packs of these (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links). This type of cracker is as popular to the Swedes as bread is to Americans. They stay crisp, do not stale and won't get mold (at least for the time your out). They are great with sliced deli and cheese. Also make a good base for peanut butter and Herseys. Very handy for those lunch stops when you are checking out a campsite.

Well.. Pita molds fast imo, so i agree with t-soft shells. PB and Jell is great later on in yer trips, but ham and cheese keeps well for a bit. As far as crackers, I'm stuck on "Chicken in the Bisquick". Pass the molases please.

Hey K...

Please elaborate on the "Chicken in the Bisquick" thing.  Is there a recipe or is it something you just throw together?  Another perfect use for the chicken in the foil packets?

QPassage-
We had one of the Dinty Moore meals on our trip this spring.  Worked good but like you say They're kind of bulky and a big item in the trash bag.  Other than that it was very good.  Just put in a pot of boiling water for about 8 minutes and it's done!
