q & e lasagna For our last “Hot Meals for Hunters” blog, we’re letting our mighty hunter prepare his own meal while he’s out. Rainy Day Foods offers a variety of Quick and Easy Meals in a Mylar bag that has either a pasta or a rice entree, or there’s also the option of Tomato Basil Soup. The nice thing about these meals is everything is dry and doesn’t require being chilled, but the best thing is the Mylar bag actually doubles as your disposable serving bowl. As long as the hunter has a lighter or matches to make a fire, some kind of little cooking pot to boil water in, an eating utensil, and one of these meals in his pack, then he can have the option of eating dinner while he’s hunting and working up an appetite. Each meal simply requires the boiling of water to cook the pasta or rice, and that can be done safely in the Mylar bag. After removing the oxygen absorber from the Mylar bag meal, add the boiled water, reseal, and leave in the upright position for about 10 minutes, or until the pasta or rice is tender. Please remember to use caution as the Mylar bag will be hot! Stir up the contents, and eat up! For the Pasta Quick and Easy Meals, Rainy Day Foods has the following options available: *Spaghetti *Lasagna *Mac and Cheese *Stroganoff *Alfredo *For those who love meat, feel free to add some Rainy Day Foods Freeze Dried Ground Beef or Rainy Day Foods Freeze Dried Diced Chicken to these pasta meals! If you do add the meat, you may want to add a little extra water For the Rice Quick and Easy Meals, Rainy Day Foods has the following options available: *Teriyaki Oriental Rice with Imitation Chicken *Ala King Rice with Imitation Chicken We made the Lasagna, adding one cup of the freeze dried ground beef: [caption id="attachment_2480" align="aligncenter" width="300"]Quick & Easy Lasagna Quick & Easy Lasagna[/caption] [caption id="attachment_2481" align="aligncenter" width="300"]Remove oxygen absorber from noodles and sauce mix in the mylar bag.
