In these recipes, I mostly use freeze-dried ingredients to make a quick meal. The meat I have found is the best quality out there.
I’ve also added a mason jar method for taking meals on the go with you, a green alternative to using plastic bags to store ingredients, if you are using the meals for travel, such as hotels, car camping, and so on. And that’s a positive thing—it is very easy to get hot water in a hotel, be it down at the coffee station or using a coffee maker in your room.
Directions for FBC and insulated mug are included.
The meals are gluten-free, and the carbohydrates come only from the vegetables. You can serve both recipes on tortillas for a quick taco or over rice for a filling meal.
