Outpost Meals

Organic eggs are something to crow about! Uncaged happy hens strutting about pecking for this and that make the most contented sound on earth. I grew up raising chickens. In fact, when I was a teenager I decided I’d had enough of my older brothers and I moved into our chicken house. I remember I had a cot, a clock radio and an electric skillet. I can’t remember how long I lasted, but contented chickens also give us the best food on earth. In this mix I’ve thrown together some eggs, soy bits that taste like bacon and some sharp cheddar cheese powder. Just add water and scramble. Ready in minutes.

Eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, and garlic. It’s the perfect breakfast. Eggs from chickens raised without antibiotics and fed 100% organic feed.

Always nourishing first thing in the morning, scrambled eggs are a classic breakfast, but add plenty of sharp cheddar cheese and a touch of basil and they become gourmet.

I’ve put together two organic whole grains for a griddle cake that has a nutty taste and sourdough texture. Milled on our 100-year-old gristmill, these high-energy, protein-rich cakes have plenty of fiber and flavor. For sweet sprinkles, I’ve included a packet of maple syrup granules. Wanting all of my mixes to be as pure as I could get them, I went looking for a baking powder that used organic starch. Since most baking powders use corn starch, and almost all non-organic corn is now genetically engineered, I decided if I couldn’t find an organic baking powder, I’d have to invent my own. I teamed up with a food scientist here at the University of Idaho and came up with a recipe that uses organic rice starch instead of the commonly used non-organic corn starch. Named after our historic flour mill, I call it Barron Flour Mill Baking Powder. You have to try these. They’re the purest griddle cakes on earth!

The first hot cereal I created was my Outrageous Outback Oatmeal. In no time at all I had devoted fans, and the recipe was a keeper. Over time, I decided I wanted to eat a hot cereal that was less sweet. My Hot ’n Creamy Cereal is unusually delicious and rich in soluble dietary fiber. The addition of cinnamon, nutmeg, and flax seeds makes it my favorite. Basic goodness and not too sweet.

Wake up to the great taste of my “oh-oh-oh” whole-grain, non-dairy hot cereal. A tasty, most unusual soymilk choice. “Dress it up” with fresh fruit. One of my farm hands eats it dry and promotes it as a dry snack food. Equally good for breakfast or snacking.

This recipe was three years in the making. I just couldn’t find the right ingredients for a creamy, chocolatey rich, subtly sweet, utterly perfect mousse that was 100% organic and instant. I wanted a mix that you could take camping and feel like you were dining in a five star restaurant. At last, here it is. If you’re making our mousse at home, try a bowl after you’ve had it in the freezer for an hour or so. Frozen, it’s like ice cream. If you’re a chocolate fan, this indulgence is a must.

Moister, chewier, more delicious, and easier to make than any brownie mix you’ve ever found. This recipe took me months to perfect. I think I used up five pounds of chocolate getting it just right. Campers tell me this is their favorite social dessert. Be the one that shows up with the “best of trip” treat. If it’s been a while since you’ve experienced the perfect dessert, then sit down to some brownies and a glass of milk. You can use my stovetop skillet-bake instructions, my oven-bake instructions or make a BakeOver crust.
