I just returned from a JMT thru-hike and must give this forum's contributors thanks for all the ideas/recipes/helpful tips regarding food. Thanks in particular to Sarah whose trailcooking.com website proved invaluable. I used several recipes from Sarah's site. The pecan chicken salad for lunch was fantastic and a nice break from peanutbutter.
With the help of the online community, I was able to make all my own food for the trip. I made some complete meals in a dehydrator, such as Spaghetti Bolognese and Chicken Curry, while others were concocted from instant mixes and pasta, rice or quinoa I dehydrated.
I caught plenty of trout with my fly rod so the fish frys were fabulous. I seasoned the fish with olive oil (in packets), garlic, salt, and wrapped them in foil and cooked them under hot coals for 10 minutes. After cooking and deboning the fish, I added parmesan and True Lemon…divine!
Other thoughts: Nestle Nido is great. Starbucks Via is overpriced. The cheeseburger and fries at the Whitney Portal store might as well have been Julia Childs' Beef Bourgignon.

There is something to be said about a burger after, eh? Greasy and good!
