Winter camping "Guilty Food Pleasures"

That sounds delicious Eric. Do you make these from scratch or are they store bought?

Canister stove and frypan?

I can’t say I have a ‘guilty pleasure’ but my favorite to keep me warm on the trail is bulletproof brand hot drinks. A Nice coffee with pastured butter, cacao butter, medium chain triglyceride oil,  collagelatin and cinnamon or their Hot Coco Mix. As far as food, food goes I am fond of the Good 2 Go Thai Curry meals. So much fat, flavor and whole ingredients. Really gets the furnace burning.

I may try making your breakfast and combining them into “pigs in a blanket”.

Winter camping guilty pleasures?

Real bacon bits in the buttered mashed potatoes.  Lots of them.  If I’ve planned ahead, I simmer the butter down to drawn butter with crushed garlic in it.  Then the drawn garlic butter goes into the bacon-garlic-buttered mashed potatoes.

Hot cocoa with heavy cream.  And brandy.  Duh.

At home?

At 60N, it is a luxury to score fresh fruits and vegetables in Winter.

Rib eye steaks from Whole Foods; baked potato in foil; mushrooms, onions and lots of butter. IPA’s. Frank Sinatra playing softly. Dog snoring.

If I am outside burning a crap load of calories in winter it’s not a guilty pleasure.

I only ever drink hot chocolate and Whiskey when winter camping, never any other time.

Jello instant Vanilla pudding + Nido whole dry milk + Starbucks Via + chocolate chips.

Guaranteed to make your hiking buddies envious.
