Breakfast ideas
Hey people, I'm new to the board.
I was just wondering what you guys do for food when you wake up on the Island. Feel free to post Breakfast ideas and recipes for the rest of us!

Re: Breakfast ideas
When I wake up, particularly day 5 and after, I fantasize about fresh hot coffee and omelettes with hash browns. Then I fire up the stove, boil water, and have instant coffee and 2 packets of either instant oatmeal or instant cream of wheat.

Re: Breakfast ideas
Oatmeal, grits, pancakes. Repeat as necessary. Cocoa, hot cider, or coffee.
Not very original
Usually supplement with a package of pre-cooked bacon and raisins.

Re: Breakfast ideas
Mtn. House blueberry granola was good for the first few days, then it got old.
I think I actually ate my "dinner" for breakfast, and had my "breakfast" for dinner one night just to change things up-- all depends if you're willing to eat stroganoff with your morning coffee!

Re: Breakfast ideas
That Mountain House Granola w/blueberries is pretty good. My 11 yo daughter picked it out for our trip last week to Nordhouse Dunes. Another thing we like to have is a couple of apples. Kind of heavy, but on a short trip and dash of sugar, they're pretty good. My all time favorite is still biscuits and gravy!

Re: Breakfast ideas
It depends on whether we are hiking or paddling.
If paddling, we bring fresh eggs that I dip in boliing water for 10 seconds to keep them. We will have omelets, Freench Toast, bagle sandwiches (toasted bagel, egg, cream cheese, ham). Then we resort to pancakes (w/ fresh fruit if available), oatmeal, bagle and peanut butter (peanut butter..its not jsut for lunch!) and sometimes we will bake a coffee cake for breakfast w/ an Outback oven.
hiking/backpacking it is usually oatmeal, pancakes, cheese grits, pop tarts.

Tricia does the provisioning (I have to give credit where credit is due!)

Re: Breakfast ideas
I'm a big fan of oatmeal. Sticks to your bones, and is durn tasty. I like throwing some Craisins in there too. Then I not only have a little variety to my breakfast, but also a delicious Craisin snack when on the trail. Oatmeal also = light.
Re: Breakfast ideas
Instant loaded baked potatoes and precooked bacon. Yum! A bagel with some cream cheese is a nice addition, too.

Re: Breakfast ideas

Re: Breakfast ideas
Brian, I learned this years ago when doing a long distance hike. Dip fresh eggs (in the shell) in boiling water for 10 seconds, this will help keep eggs useable in warm weather for a few days. When we do this, we eat the eggs in the first few days. We take the eggs in a plastic egg container and transport them in a small soft cooler w/ ice pack. The temps are usually 'cooler' when we go in Spring or early Fall, but it is usually at least 3 days (and longer) between the time we leave home and the time the eggs are eaten (we also use them for breading fish).Backpacker534 wrote:John, what do you mean by just to "keep" them?

Re: Breakfast ideas
My breakfasts are usually fairly simple. Granola or oatmeal, dried fruit, tea, maybe a little cheese or dry meat (ham or sausage) and chocolate. Generally we want to get moving and anything that requires more clean-up than a quick rinse and wipe is not acceptable. One of our little luxuries is to use Nido whole-milk powder rather than the fat-free stuff.
