Pasta, quesadillas, soup (frozen, keeps the fridge cold, too), chili,
burritos (rice, black beans, frozen chicken breasts, cheese, lettuce,
tomato, salsa, avocado), cereal or oatmeal with fruit, sandwiches,
trailmix, coffee, hot choc, nachos, beer, and screw drivers (when camp
is set up and the sun is going down... OK, I gotta start planning the
next trip!
