Thanks for the info, Roger. I will look for that supergrain you mentioned.
Also, we met Jen at last year's ALDHA-West gathering. She is a wealth of
information. I'm experimenting with some ideas now and if they turn out good
will share them.

on the trail on my thru hike in '96. But.... (and now the real story), only
with certain cheese sauces. For some reason I hated it with tomato sauce. My
favorite cheese sauce mixes were the Mayacamas alfredo sauce and their cheddar
or 3-cheese sauce. Adding garlic made it even better!

corn and quinoa. I can't see much difference in the nutrition facts, but
quinoa is a complete protein and provides more amino acids.

your other recipes. I think a mixture of quinoa and corn grits (polenta) with
a tomato sauce would be a great meal on the trail. You will most likely find
quinoa at health food stores.

added a link on the home page to an article written by Jen Schaeffer,
ALDHA-West's Food Editor. I'm sure you would find some of the sites worth
checking out.
