+BREAKFASTS
+OATMEAL
+
+Chai Oatmeal
+
+If you like chai tea, you are going to love this! Try adding chopped dried apricots
+instead of the golden raisins.
+ 
+¾ cup quick cooking oatmeal
+1/8 t turmeric
+¼ t ground coriander
+½ t ground cinnamon
+¼ t ground allspice
+1/8 t nutmeg
+pinch of ground cloves
+1 T brown sugar
+¼ cup golden raisins
+1/3 cup powdered milk
+ 
+At home: combine everything in a zip-locking plastic bag.
+ 
+In camp: bring 1 ½ cups of water to a boil. Add the contents of the bag. Stir and
+cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes or until the
+oatmeal is at the consistency you like. Add more water if it is too thick.
+
+__
+ Peaches and Cream Oatmeal
+ 
+2/3 cup oatmeal
+3 T dried peaches, chopped
+2 T powdered milk
+1/8 t ground nutmeg
+1 t cinnamon
+1 T brown sugar
+ 
+At home: combine everything in a zip locking plastic bag.
+ 
+In camp: bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the oatmeal and simmer until it reaches your desired thickness.
+__
+
+Chocolate Banana Oatmeal
+1 serving
+ 
+Don’t try this with regular dried bananas. They are too hard. Look for the freeze-dried
+ones. You can get them from justtomatoes.com or in the cereal aisle as “cereal toppers.”
+ 
+1/3 cup quick cooking oatmeal
+1 t unsweetened cocoa powder
+2 T powdered milk
+2 t brown sugar
+¼ cup freeze-dried banana, broken up
+chocolate cookies, crumbled (optional)
+ 
+At home: combine everything except the cookies in a zip locking plastic bag. If you are
+bringing the cookies, package them separately.
+ 
+In camp: bring 1 cup of water to a boil, add the oatmeal and stir. Simmer until the
+oatmeal is cooked through. Serve topped with the cookies.
+ 
+VARIATIONS:
+Try the same thing with freeze dried strawberries or raspberries.
+Substitute freshly picked (on the trail) berries for the bananas.

+Scrambles (Tofu and Eggs)
+Green and Gold Tofu Scramble
+ 
+   
+ 
+This makes two servings. Adjust the seasonings, salt and pepper to your taste. 
+My daughter LOVES this dish. Toddler approved! LOL. You can use scissors
+or kitchen shears to cut up the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. The turmeric will
+turn the tofu a sunny, yellow color, making them look like scrambled eggs.
+ 
+8 oz firm tofu
+1-2 packets of soy sauce (1-2 tablespoons)
+1/2 t turmeric
+1 t dried oregano
+1 T olive oil
+2 T sun-dried tomatoes, NOT in oil, cut in small pieces

+mushrooms, oregano and turmeric. Carry the olive oil in a screw top container.

+
+In camp: heat the oil in your pan. add the tofu, breaking it up with a fork. Cook until the
+tofu starts to turn golden brown. Add 1/2 cup of water, and the mushroom/tomato/spice
+mixture. Simmer long enough to rehydrate (just a minute or two). Add the spinach and 
+soy sauce just before serving.

+Wraps
+Berry Berry Wrap
+
+

+Basic Pancake Mix

+Make at Home
+Latte Bars
+ 
+These are great for those mornings when you want your coffee, but you need to hit the
+trail and don’t have time to cook breakfast. It has your coffee and breakfast all rolled
+into one package! These firm up as they cool. They are not like a granola bar. More
+like a dense coffee cake or brownie.
+ 
+Makes about 2 dozen
+ 
+3 eggs
+1 ½ cups sugar
+2 t vanilla
+¼ cup butter, melted
+2 cups all-purpose flour
+½ t salt
+¼ cup instant coffee crystals
+¼ cup milk or heavy cream
+1 cup pecans, chopped
+½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
+ 
+At home: Preheat oven to 325. Lightly grease a 13 by 9 inch pan. Beat the eggs in a
+mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the sugar, vanilla and butter, beating to combine.
+Stir in the flour and salt.
+ 
+Set aside 1 ½ cups of batter. Stir the coffee crystals and cream and add to the remaining
+batter. Spread the coffee batter into the prepared pan. Add chocolate chips to the reserved
+batter and spoon over the coffee batter. Run a knife through the two batters to marble them.
+Sprinkle the pecans over the top.
+ 
+Bake 20-25 minutes or until the center is firm and set. Cool before cutting into bars. Wrap
+tightly in plastic wrap.
+ 
+In camp or on the trail: Unwrap and eat!
