Food strategies for quick 1/2 night trips?

[Wandering Daisy]

I just did a short trip, with 2 nights at the same campsite, and took an avacado (it would have gone bad if I had left it home). It was delicious! and calorie packed too. If I am just doing an overnighter, I often buy a deli sandwhich on the way to the trailhead and have that for dinner. If you cannot keep it cold, then delete the mayo or eggs. Then apple turnovers with bacon for breakfast - perfect complement to a cup of coffee.
