[pct-l] No-cook Recipes

[t.n. turner]

Good morning to you Steeleye,


I don't eat beef, well actually no mammals,which is beside the point, but do you think I could use ground turkey to make
your burger jerky? I would love to get your recipe and try it. 

Now do
you also dehydrate your granola? I make my own as well, which I love but if it was a little lighter, that would be great! As I too eat breakfast after having started hiking and having it out of the ziplock, I wouldn't mind trying someone else's recipe too!

Thanks for sharing,
Tammy T.
