Beef and noodles is always good. Egg noodles cooked and mostly drained, add a pack of ranch dressing a sour cream to the noodle with pepper . Slice beef and grill. Mix the beef and the noodles together and serve.

So the special lady friend made a pretty game-changing decision in advance of a quick night in the hills (one-nighter) which required just enough for dinner and breakfast (aside from emergency rations which I do carry, but beanie-weenie only in emergency, let's be real).

Anyway, we stopped at Whole Foods and I had to take a call, so off she went with our whole paycheck. What happened next was pure genius. We are big veggie eaters but typically eat mostly chicken and fish for protein. Not wanting to deal with raw meat, she hit the salad bar and loaded up on cut veggies: red onion, peppers, broccoli, mushrooms. Got a can of hatch green chile (diced), and a package of cooked chicken sausages. All we had to slice was the sausages, and voila, a really really easy stir-fry.

Sounds like the perfect meal to be cooked on a Skottle.

I've got two recipes that make life just that much better.

First, a Motor Burrito.

DSC_0272-1204x800.jpg
Concept is to pre-make some burritos and throw them in a safe spot in the engine bay to warm through. Wheel for a few hours and you are ready to eat, no muss, no fuss. This is a great time saver when weather sucks, or you are on the trail super late or early. Favorite variety is carne asada with peppers, but a breakfast version is a no brainer. Check the full recipe here.

Second, Banana's Foster Flambe (pancake/french toast topper, or dessert). If you flambe with some rum, the banana's become nicely caramelized and the flavor will make everyone happy. Bonus points if you are sporting a fridge and can use this over ice cream. Recipe Here

Sharing a recipe I would always cook. Saute ginger, minced garlic and white onions in oil. Then just add ground beef, 3 tsp sugar and add 1/2 cup soy sauce and some pepper flaked. It's the best and it's easy to cook.

My annual fishing trip to Maine always has good food. The day we leave we usually bring something frozen that can be heated up when we get there (its pretty much an all day drive to get there) so Shepherds Pie in a throwaway tinfoil tray is a hit (I like to copy the Cheesecake Factory version- "regular" Shepherd's Pie but I add sliced mushrooms, peas and carrots plus a brown gravy. I also add grated parmesan to the top of the mashed potatoes) . Dinners after that first day usually involve some grilling....steaks, BBQ Chicken, pork Chops. I did a pulled pork a few years ago but it took too long at the site so I will do it ahead of time and bring the meat for heat and serve instead. One thing that always goes over well are campfire onions- a Vidalia onion with the "root core" hollowed out (In a cone shape). Put in a clove of garlic and fill it with butter. Wrap in tinfoil and toss it in the coals. By the time the rest of the meal is ready they are too. Mmmm…..okay...now I'm hungry! ha

One of my kids' favorites is Walking Tacos, or "Walkie Tacos" as my 6 year old calls them. Stupid simple to make: Single serve bag of Fritos + can of chili + shredded cheese. dump it all into the Fritos bag, hand them a spork and let them at it.
This is a New Mexico staple! (Though we call it Frito Pie :)

Damn there are some skilled chefs here!

My cooking is limited since I use a smallish cooler to bring food.

I vacuum pack steaks and ground beef, with zucchini and mushrooms for dinner. Various marinades before I even leave for the trip, usually a few days to let them soak in. Saves space instead of bringing spices etc.

By the way,I like my ribeye super rare.

For breakfast I keep it simple with croissant, egg, smoked ham and ghost pepper cheese. Easy to grill up.


Usually dont eat lunch, as I'm out exploring and probably had a big breakfast already. Or I'll make another crossaint sandwich.

Another one is some soup. I dont bring it often because it's hard to bring soup for me.
But hot soup on a cold morning is AMAZING.

I make oxtail and radish soup,usually takes 2 days to make, or 1 day if you got some time.

Soak the oxtail (about 4 or 6 lbs) in a bowl with cold water in the fridge, draining at least 3 or 4 times. 3 to 4 hours.

put about 10 cups of water in a large pot and boil eith the oxtail in there. After the water starts rolling, take the oxtail out and dump the water. This removes excess fat and blood. Will look foamy.

Then start another pot of water, about 10 cups.
Add the oxtail and some radish, cubed or however you like it. You can add carrots and whatever veggies you like, but add soft veggies later.

Cook on high for about 20 minutes, then simmer for a few hours, I go for about 3 hours on very low heat.

Once done, it's not ready yet.
You must cool it, and let the fat harden at the top and scoop out. Usually I'll wait for it to cool down, then set in fridge for a few hours.

Once the fat is removed, it can be put into soup containers or whatever you have.

Traditionally the salt is added per bowl, bot sure why, it might have to do with evaporation. That's just how I learned it.

Oxtail can be replaced with chicken, but I havent done much with chicken other than thighs on the cast iron.

Porkchop paella

So easy to make and so damn good. Cooked over a single Coleman burner in a simple paella pan and easy ingredients.

Throw peppers, onions, garlic and whatever else you like. Brown the pork or beef or bacon then add some rice. 20 mins and you have a super easy dinner.

Goes great with beer
