Yet another part of my summer planning activities is trying to figure out what kind of food to bring up to the Spike camp this fall. Yes Mountain House is fine, and I\'ll probably bring a few. So I\'ve been trying different grocery store items.
Today I tried Near East Couscous Roasted Garlic & Olive Oil, with a small can of walmart chunk chicken breast thrown in. Over all not bad. It cooked up pretty quickly (Boil the water, spices, and olive oil, then add the Couscous let sit covered for 5 minutes) and tasted pretty darned good.
Assuming two servings (one is good enough to test at the house, I\'d probably eat both in the woods) this meal would have the following nutritional values using 1 TBsp of Olive Oil.
Calories 397
Sodium 1055
Fat 2.5
Protein 21g
Carbohydrates 60g
Not to bad for under a buck fifty. Way less than MH.
Oh, and I\'d probably opt out of the canned chicken, replacing it with one of the envelope packages, or a can of chicken at home.
