A note about Bramble & Spice Backpacking Recipes: These recipes are intended for one or two night backpacking trips. I like eating real food when I’m hiking and I’m always willing to carry a little extra weight in order to eat well. Everything really does taste better in the mountains.

These potatoes are spicy, flavorful, and easy. They’re the perfect dinner after a day of hiking or, as we enjoyed them, as a warm lunch on a beautiful day snowshoeing.

The herby chimichurri sauce provides a big flavor boost to the rice and tuna. In addition to just being delicious, tuna is very high in protein and makes a great meal while backpacking.

I love these pancakes because they’re easy to eat on the go.
