We eat differently on hiking days then normally. The biggest difference is we have a lot more snacks and only really one actual meal.
Remember the scones I had made the night before for the car ride that got soaked in the rain? Well turns out you can put them back in the oven on low heat and they'll taste almost good as new! I had a pumpkin scone in the car on the ride to Illinizas.
On the trail Ryan and I had packed (to share between all of us) a bag of peanuts, a bag of habas, two individual packages of these new crackers we bought called TOSH (they're supposed to be healthy but they just tasted like crackers), two mandarins, and two bananas. For lunch when we stopped at the refuge I had also made each of us a small ham and cheese sandwich. Plus I had made us each a peanut butter and strawberry sandwich. Ryan ate his on the trail and I ate mine once we got home. Now we share all of these things with everyone (not just the two of us). So I also had a couple of nibbles of papas, one chocolate covered coffee bean, a couple of pieces of chocolate and a couple of gummies. Plus at the refuge I ordered a cup of herbal tea. We came home with about 1/2 a bag of peanuts and a tangerine left over.
For dinner we had a big bowl of chili over jalepeno corn bread! It was delicious and filling and all we had to do was reheat it (which was the best part!).
