Since we normally only stay a day or two at a time we typically eat fresh meals. We might make 1 freeze dried meal over the weekend just because. Usually for breakfast its either pancakes or bacaon, sausage and eggs. Dinners are often soups or pizza ingredients heated up inside a pita pocket.

We would have to reevaluate out food if we stayed longer. Especially if we didnt have access to ice.

On extended trips (more than a couple of weeks), we bring along an assortment of freeze dried meals and vegetable packs. They're very light weight, don't take up much space and, unlike cans, they don't rust. We don't use them all that often. However, on those long days when the prospect of lengthy or messy food prep doesn't appeal, it's oh so handy to simply heat up a coffee pot of water, dump some into a freeze dried dinner pouch, and pour a couple mugs of tea. Not exactly gourmet, but for us the freeze drieds still have their place.

I like the pita pizza sounds good gonna do that this weekend. The other weekend we had a package of maple sausages, and pancake mix…if you fry the sausages then pour the pancake mix over three or four links at a time, then cover the works in maple syrup…well I don't need to tell you :P
