Backpacking Oatmeal
This backpacking oatmeal recipe is quick to prepare and effortless to cook at camp. I created it for a bike ride from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C. It makes enough to leave two people feeling very full, and it provides a mix of carbs and protein that's needed for a long day of biking or hiking.
15-Minute Chili Crisp Noodles
The chili crisp in these 15-minute chili crisp noodles is an easy way to bring some bold and spicy flavor to a quick weeknight dinner. I like to serve with a chilled dill cucumber salad. I like to have extra chili crisp on the side to drizzle over for extra spiciness.
Air Fryer Plantain Chips
Green plantains in the air fryer result in potato-like crunchy, crispy chips without being full of calories and fat. These can be sweet or savory, depending on which you are craving - use salt for savory or cinnamon-sugar for sweet chips.
