And now, a short explanation of some foods named above:
Logan Bread: Dave has used this 'solid' home-made bread to play a tune on his golf club. One inch thick, lots of whole wheat flour, dried fruit and nuts. Calorie packed. Did I mention density? It took two of us to lift the pan out of the oven!
Quesadilla: Whole Wheat Tortillas with cheese (we found some that doesn't have to be refrigerated...we think)
Tortilla Fajitas: I know, you're wondering how we're going to keep bears away when our fajitas are sizzling over an open fire. Well, imagine this: Pieces of delicious, flavorful Beef Jerky wrapped in a tortilla. Full stop. No sizzling, bell peppers, onions, salsa (or bears).
Snacks: There are many and they're not listed above. Nuts, dried fruit, Clif bars etc.
