MH Chili Mac with a packet of dried chili peppers from the pizza joint thrown in for a little zip,Chicken ala King, Beef Strogonoff, Chicken and Noodles. What I do not like is Terryaki anything.

I love Mountain House's Pasta Primavera. A rich cream sauce covering a savory blend of mixed vegetables and excellent pasta-a nice meal. Greg R.

hi everyone,
after tasting almost everything mountain house makes this summer on 3 trips, I have to say I am very satisfied with the new breakfast skillet, I have eaten 4 between the ap trail and IR. Great on tortilla, and one meal will feed 2 men, or 3 women. Yum

My 11 year old daughter loves the Mountain House Mac and Cheese. And, I don't mind finishing her leftovers.

Tom - How did the Cache Lake meals work out for you? I am preparing for a September trip and I do not care much for freeze dried foods. While the flavors may be acceptable the texture is not. I was at Midwest Mountaineering in Minneapolis last week and saw that they had a large variety of Cache Lake products.

For breakfast I like Mountain House Granola with Blueberries. Their chicken and mashed potatoes is good too although the chicken breasts were a little dry. I should have let it set a little longer.

I was thinking of trying some of the foods from Packit Gourmet?

I really miss my vegetables on backpacking trips. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sandy

Mark (et al) -
I can highly recommend Cache Lake if you're willing to do slightly more work than "just add hot water." (Although some of their food is that way.) At the Midwest Moutaineering Spring Expo, I had the pleasure of sampling most of what they make, and it all tasted good. - The proof, however, was in actually taking it afield. The wild rice salad was delicious; although spring a spare zip-loc as it's best to let is soak for 10+ hours, like while you're hiking. Those five minute flat breads also joined the "must have" list for future trips. Just add water to the mix and stir, although it gets a bit sticky. Then, just add a little oil (I packed some veg oil in a small bottle) in a pan, and fry it up. Good eating..
I also loved the pudding, it was a nice dessert, and Lake Superior cool water makes it all the better...
I think the only thing we would pass on was the carrot side dish, just something about carrots that just didn't seem right..
