So, this time around, I mostly followed this recipe.
But, I used turkey breast that I sauteed with the onions instead of canned chicken.
Added parsnips and sweet potatoes. Didn't add celery. (For no particular reason). Which I now realize wasn't in the original recipe anyway. Whatever.
Pureed it with the immersion blender, slammed it into the dehydrator, will test dehydrate soon!

Blunt Dinner
I'm calling this the "blunt dinner." Got home late and hungry, needed to use tenderized cubed steak (or something) that I had defrosted.
Put 2 cans diced tomatoes over heat, add meat. Simmer until the meat is done. Eat with some jarred artichokes. It was acceptably OK for being a quick and easy blunt meal.

Backpacking Tuna Salad Idea
So, here's an idea for a lunch while backpacking.
A) I bought some freeze-dried sweet potatoes. When I test re-hydrated these by just adding hot water, they took a loooong time to re-hydrate. Hours. Decided that would not be ideal for dinner, b/c it would either take too long, or take too much fuel.
The madness:
Dried some celery and a can of tuna (as well as a can of salmon, to see how they compare and re-hydrate). It only took like 7 hours to dry. Cool.
The method:
I am going to combine some celery, sweet potatoes, and tuna in a container in the morning, add hot water, and let it re-hydrate until lunchtime. I'm thinking I will eat it on a coconut wrap.
Depending on how this goes, I will also try it but with adding some dried coconut milk powder. (Not paleo - it does have casein in it.)
Update tomorrow-ish!

Update 4/17/12: Worked beautifully. I added about 1.5 cups hot water to 1/4 cup dried sweet potatoes, 1/8 cup dried celery, and 1 can dried tuna. Let it re-hydrate for about 3.5-4 hours. I didn't add any spices, but sprinkled a little salt on, it could use more. I think this will work really well on the trail.
Next try I will also add a little bit of dried coconut milk for a curry-ish taste.
