Here's my list:

Couscous:  Light, cheap, good, cooks instantly, mix in a tomato bullion
powder or dried refritos.
dried refried beans (refritos)
RAMEN!!!
Tuna (best when mixed with the ramen) though trouble with the cans.
Dried fruits and nuts.
Rice- can cook at home and dry it then rehydrate out camping, or minute
rice.
Tomato bullion (powder or cubes)
green tea - no sugar required, light, just put in hot water and strain with
teeth.
angel hair pasta - cooks fast but a water waster, stick with the couscous.
packaged meals-not the camping stuff, but things like curry and the like.
Oats (quick)

Another thought I have considered is to fast on short trips.
