nice to see some gf backpacking food! I’ve got a little blog on that very subject that you might want to visit. Through-hiked the John Muir Trail last summer & was astonished at what folks were willing to eat … your pototo/kale soup would have supplied some much-needed veggies to our fellow hikers!

I only just got round to checking this out and it all looks fantastic. I especially love the idea of taking dried greens up the mountain for soup making – inspired!

Also loving the superhero references cropping up round here. I’m gonna take that test – but we know the result already no?

Melissa, the new development is great. There is an awesome brewery there. My partner is from BV so we spend a lot of time up there.

Angie,

You’re right, Perky’s Nutty Rice or Nutty Flax works well because it “stands up” to either being stuffed in your backpack or doused in milk!

Christine,

Leave out the dried fruit other than raisins and go for it! I make it and travel with it, but find too much dried fruit doesn’t make for the best granola. Trail mix — yes. Granola — no.

Kelly,

I’m behind in my comment responding and now your bluegrass festival is over. Sorry about that. You know, I think the best way of dehydrating kale is in a dehydrator. You don’t want the temperature much higher than about 135 degrees F. It takes a long time to fully dry it. I think that’s probably the best way to go.

BTW, the Denver Post had an article about that new development in BV that Jed and Katie Selby have created. I love the idea of a bouldering park right in the midst of the houses! And having the Arkansas River right out your door sounds pretty darn nice!

Shirley,

I was thinking it would be difficult to jump off your motorcycle and dive into putting together this blog post! We all appreciate it though. Good job — as always!

Awesome trail mix – I use Perky’s Nutty Rice cereal in my granola as well, it’s a great staple. Good ideas for backpacking – thanks!

The trail mix looks so good – when not hiking, I would probably eat it for breakfast. Yum!

I was just looking for some recipes for a bluegrass festival in BV this week. You always have great ideas!

I don’t have a dehydrator would there be another way to dehydrate the Kale.
