Skillet brown butter chocolate chunk cookie
Big, squishy, gooey cookies are the best. And cookies that don’t require the use of a mixer (or some serious gym rat-level hand mixing) and are pressed into a pan instead of individually scooped are truly the height of human innovation... Read more

KD, rice and Pilot Biscuits
If you have a big budget and a small appetite, freeze-dried meals will work to keep you healthy on the trail. I have always found the servings too small and I’d need two of them to fill me up. They are certainly convenient and super light to carry... Read more

Apple and bacon macaroni and cheese
