Eggs in the Backcountry

I recently purchased a dehydrator, and have been getting more daring in my recipes. Most people I’ve spoken to mainly use their dehydrators for camping recipes like jerky and dried fruits and vegetables.

Chickpea Flour Flatbread with Zucchini

We’ve been making different versions of this Chickpea Flour Flatbread every day for lunch for the last week. In it’s unadorned form, this “flatbread” goes by many names, but I learned of it as Socca, it’s French name.

Campfire Smoked Trout

Our friend Adan (otherwise known as “Tallkan,” if you want to follow his adventures on Instagram) is on his yearly traditional trip to June Lake right now. We’re jealous.

Red, White, and Bean Salad

How exciting to have Independence Day on a Saturday this year! Hopefully that means that all of you will be able to escape to somewhere beautiful and high up so you can see a fabulous fireworks show and enjoy a warm summery evening with your friends. Here is a recipe that’s perfect for a day […]

Sesame Soba Noodle Salad

Sesame soba noodle salad is the perfect ready-to-eat lunch for a day of fun in the outdoors. Make sesame soba noodle salad at home, and eat it hot or cold.
