	Our group was discussing the menu for our upcoming (August-you can never start planning too soon) trip. We seem to have the same thing year after year and I would like to add a few different meals. I thought I'd try to see what others' favorite meals were-besides fresh fish. For us, it is the Vigo Red Beans and Rice. We add a link of kielbasa and a bunch of dehydrated mushrooms. A batch of cornbread always accompanies the meal.

	Yup, those are the ones, but you can find them in most grocery stores, in case you were wondering. Those same Red Beans & Rice are the side dish to my favorite meal which is Bronzed Walleye (wins by a hair over baked trout). There's just nothing like a big 'ol plate of fresh walleye with cajun spice and a side of the bean/rice. Who needs dessert?

	Hey old_salt... no bronzed lemon-pepper walleye to go along with that, bronzed cajun walleye??? ??? And I have been watching the food network way too much lately, but... I want to try some of Emeril's original Essence on them too... sure makes everything else I cook mighty good... Ahhh... Nothing like Gormet Cooking in the BWCA.... And as far as the Baked Trout... Hopefully, I will be able to try it this Summer Bruce

	I ususally bring enough ingredients to have (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) at least 4 times per trip. They are "our" favorite breakfast meal.

	Tried it last trip to the Q and tweaked it in the BW: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) I made a double recipe of this for 4. I couldn't find Lipton Cream of Chicken Cup-of-Soup in my area so I replaced that with 2 pkg. of Creamy Chicken Ramen (make sure it's the creamy kind, not the straight chicken). I also substituted the cup of Bisquick with a pkg. of the Bisquick instant stuff, I think buttermilk. 2 pkg. of chicken meat. A fistful of dried vegetables. This stuff is the shiznit. Although I tried, I couldn't fit my head into the pot to lick out the remains I couldn't scrape away with a spoon so I swabbed it out with my finger. I give it 8 thumbs up. I'd second the sausage w/ Redbeans&rice (or Jambalaya mix). Easy one pot dinner that is really satisfying. Very easy to make. Did I mention this one is really easy to make, because it is.

I give it 8 thumbs up. TTC, you make me laugh! The majority of my suppers have become pretty reliant on Hamburger Helpers. The best "trail" spaghetti I have had is Hamburger Helper Spaghetti. One pot. Tastes great. Unfortunately, it seems Hamburger Helper Spaghetti has fallen off the face of the earth. I have not been able to find it anywhere for a couple of years. I've specifically asked for various supermarkets to carry it but it doesn't happen. Perhaps HH no longer makes it. Too bad. It means back to dehydrating tomato paste. For a recipe for this thread I will contribute this: Breakfast Burrito 1/2 cup powdered eggs Spices (1 teaspoon chili powder blend, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, etc.) 1/4 cup dried beef (or substitute hard salami) 4 teaspoons dried bell peppers 1 Tablespoon dried minced onions 2 teaspoons dried celery Some hard cheese 2 or 3 Tortillas At Home: Put powdered egg & spices in one bag. Mix together peppers, onions, and celery in another bag. In Camp: Combine the vegetable mixture with 3/4 cups of water and set aside for 15 minutes. Add powdered egg and meat. Let stand for another 5 minutes. Fry adding cheese near the end so that it melts. Roll equal portions in each of the tortillas and topped with salsa (Taco Bell packets). Great Stuff!! The only way powdered eggs are actually good.

	Other than Fresh walleye browned in a skillet with a little butter, oil, and various mouthwatering spices... My favorite meal is generally prepared our first evening in the BWCA. for the last two years, we have prepared Zataran's Jambalya with Petit Jean (Local Brand) Smoked Italian Sausages, with either pita bread, or bagels... Nice and spicy to get you fired up after the first day of paddling... For Breakfast, it is hard to beat Pancakes, with squeeze butter and Strawberry jam from the Squeeze bottle, and smoked bacon... Hot coffee with Irish Creme Flavoring... mmmmmmm good... Bruce
