While on tour, I only eat one meal per day. I've found...the hard way... that I can't process really heavy food while riding. I live on granola bars, fruit bars, etc. for the rest of the day. Depending on how close I am to a grocery store, I have a couple of recipes that work very well.

Chicken Ramen

Boneless chicken
carrots
zucchini
1 or 2 packs of chicken flavored ramen
Italian seasonings
1 or 2 cups of water

For one person use 1 pack of ramen and 1 cup of water. 2 of each for two people

Cut chicken into chunks and brown in pan. Add water, seasoning packs from the ramen and Italian seasonings bring to boil. Add carrots (you can use sliced carrots or baby carrots) and simmer until carrots are slightly tender. Add zucchini and allow to cook as long as you wish...depending on how you feel about zucchini Break ramen into 4 pieces or so and add to water. Simmer until noodles are soft. Eat.

So Good Skillet

This one requires some canned goods so it's best near civilization.

Hamburger
carrots, sliced
onion, sliced
celery, sliced
1 can of beef broth or consume'
1 can of beef barley or beefy vegetable soup
1 can of water
4 to 6 oz of pasta. Elbow macaroni or penne work best.
soy sauce
hot sauce or salsa or both

Brown the hamburger and drain if necessary. Add onions and soften them a bit. Add carrots and celery. Allow them to soften a little. Add the soup, water and the broth (consume' makes it a little thicker). Add about a table spoon of soy sauce and some hot sauce (Louisiana Hot sauce works best). Add pasta and allow to simmer until the pasta is done. Serve with more hot sauce for individual taste.

Both of these are good and filling. Prep is minimal and the clean up is pretty easy since it's all one pot. A bit elaborate but after a long day of eating granola bars, I'm ready for something with more taste.
