Sweet Potato - Banana Muffins
I've used these at a few tournaments with good success. Got this recipe at http://foreverfit.tv/banana-kumara-muffins/ by going through http://www.dessertstalker.com/
2 Large sweet potato
3 bananas
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup crushed almonds
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey
1 table spoon coconut oil
1 cup of coconut flour/almond flour
2 eggs
Cook the sweet potatoes however you want (I did microwave), mush them up with all the other ingredients. Fill muffin tins, cook in the oven at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes. The first time I made this, it made something like 24+. I think I overdid the sweet potatoes, so I cut everything in half the next time: perfect!

Red Cabbage Balsamic Vinegar Salad
Got this recipe idea from: Slate
Put in a bowl:
1 head red cabbage, shredded
small container of gorgonzola cheese
some amount of chopped hazelnuts (couple tablespoons)
half a small bag of craisins
In another little container, mix together 2 T olive oil and 1 T balsamic vinegar, add this to the main bowl. Toss, as one does with salad.
Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Yummy!

8 minute easy meal
Use a mandoline slicer to make zucchini noodles. I know this sounds finicky and not fast, but is super easy and goes surprisingly fast.
Add to a pan with a dollop of coconut oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Saute 5 minutes. Add a can of salmon. Heat until warmed through.
If you have pesto, add a dollop of pesto at the same time as the salmon.
Super delish.

Another version of Chicken Chile for Backpacking
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!
Scooter
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.
