a hearty bowl of Mountain House Chili Mac with Beef with a dehydrated parsley garnishToday we went out for a much-needed day hike and brought along some freeze dried Mountain House Chili Mac with Beef for a warm-you-up-inside lunch. It’s a sunny, but cold, mid-February weekend with temperatures hovering around 35 °F / 1 °C.
