      Okay, here’s a different kind of thread….I try to be a “foodie.” Other foodies know what that means, trying to eat healthy and well. If we are able, we like to find a nice local place for lunch, but so much of the time, our trips are planned on the fly and then no time is taken to plan ahead the food part.

      So, to keep yourself eating healthy while on the hunt, what do others do?

          I make our own snacks at home so there’s always stuff around:

          Onion-Carrot Bread
          Power Bars
          Trail Mix
          PBJs for the boys
          Sliced Veggies

            That is an interesting item.

              I agree, I think we need a recipe. I have so many carrots from our farm share!

                I have multiple recipes for jerky and make my own. I usually have a bag of that (venison) when I’ve been fortunate enough to get a deer although I will use cheap beef in a pinch to make some.

                Dried cranberries and cherries are a favorite of mine.

                Unusual trail mix combinations. Don’t make my own but I look for something with an unusual mix.

                One or two water bottles with the bottom half frozen the night before and I just top it off. Nothing better than a “cold” drink of water.

                    That is an interesting item.

                    3/4 cup sunflower seeds
                    1 cup flax seed
                    both ground up
                    1/2 cup tamari
                    1/4 cup olive oil
                    2 cup thin sliced onion
                    2 cup shredded carrot

                    i use our food processor for the veggies, then dehydrate 105 degree for 6-8 hours, flip and dehydrate another 3 hours or so

                      So you dehydrate the veggies before baking? How would it turn out if a person just added them raw before baking? Maybe I should try it out. Seriously, I have a whole vegetable drawer full of them and even I can only eat so much carrot cake! Thanks for sharing.

                        raw bread, no baking required. yummy live enzymes are good for you.

                          Almonds! I always have almonds on hand and Greek yogurt in the fridge. Both are healthy food items! Protein shakes are good too!

                            Really? We’re going to visit some of the food stands for Fermentation Fest tomorrow, wonder if any will have bread like this.

                              Let me know the next time your travels are bringing you to Hippieville and I’ll make up a batch.

                                  Or eat them before while winter caching, and they will give a little warmth in the coveralls
