We returned to camp exhilarated and downright starving. Sips of the still-steaming hot chocolate melted the ice off my handlebar mustache while I finished making dinner. That's what I love about winter camping. You can eat food, lots of food, that would spoil in summer. Pack in zesty ground beef to spice up bean burritos.
Breakfast comes complete with sausage links.
You can even carry along a smoked turkey breast, instant stuffing, and gravy that tastes as good as Thanksgiving dinner. Here are some menu suggestions. Fry the eggs in a pan with chopped sausage links, rehydrated peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes, then top with a specialty cheese like gorgonzola. Each chocolate sandwich packs about 170 calories. Three or four with morning coffee is an excellent start.
