Vegan Camp Food

Okay, I haven't been very reliable about posting because I've been too lazy/unmotivated to cook recently (and have an ulcer that prevents me from eating a lot of my favorite, spicy foods) and have been relying overmuch on convenience foods: ramen noodles cooked with curry powder and whatever vegetables are in the garden (which by the way tastes really GOOD if you start with decent noodles and add plenty of produce); frozen vegetable gyoza; and seasoned baked tofu thrown under the broiler until it's crisp and puffy.

Now I'm preparing for a long weekend of camping and hiking, so here's the rundown on what's filling my cooler:

• Bagels and peanut butter
• Crackers and Tartex
• Dried peaches.  Which taste better than candy.
• Bananas
• Gnocchi, canned white beans, and artichoke-red pepper tampenade
• Boxed butternut squash soup
• Precooked, packaged Indian food entrees
• Tofu Pups (shut up, I like them)
• Almond Breeze!
