★★★★★PAD THAI WITH CHICKEN
I'm pretty sure that BP's Pad Thai with Chicken is the undisputed king of backpacking meals. I can't fault it in any way! It's exactly the meal I reach for after a grueling hiking day...That's what I want when hiking!

★★★★★DARK CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
We made this in a 10th Mountain hut in Colorado at about 11,000 feet. It’s a tasty chocolate treat, like a pudding really. It’s easy to make- you stir it a bunch and wait. But it was so delicious that I bought it again!

★★★★★PEANUT BUTTER & BANANA OATMAEL
I usually do grocery store instant oatmeal packs, I thought I'd fancy it up and it was a great choice! Much less work and tasted a lot better than grocery store brand (name withheld ;) ). I did really like peanut butter sachet but would have preferred bigger banana chunks.
