This meal has a really good flavor and it’s just something a little different — I mean, who eats something like this on trail?


— Homemade Wanderlust: My 5 Favorite Backpacking Meals, YouTube Video, January 2019


A very easy meal indeed – one pot style and doesn’t need a lot of water... Nice mild spicy hint underneath and very creamy.

frequently asked questions

What is Gluten Conscious?
 
Gluten Conscious is a term we use to describe a product that is prepared with gluten free ingredients; however, it is not prepared in a gluten-free environment. While we are careful to avoid cross-contamination, it is possible that trace amounts of gluten may be present due to the use of gluten in our facility.
Why is a Cook–in–Cozy™ recommended?
 

We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.

    I must have received the bad batch of polenta. I was really looking forward to it, but the amount of salt in the meal was nearly enough to gag me. Really! I could only eat two spoonsful of the polenta before having to dump it out. I *may* order it once more, just to be sure I wasn't hallucinating.

    My backcountry partner and I gave this a 'test drive' in Glacier NP this past weekend -- fantastic. Very easy to prep, tasty and filling enough to power us up the trail. We'll definitely be ordering more for breakfast and dinner on our backpacks.

    Outstanding! Creamy, filling, tasty, everything you want for breakfast. Could not be easier to make. I ordered the versions with sausage which I thought brought a lot of flavor to the table.

    I decided to try this polenta on a chilly winter morning in Colorado. I woke up and was excited to try this meal out. I got it all made and it tasted pretty good, every mouthfull was creamy, garlicy, ans cheesey. The only problem was that it was really strong, after about 10 or so bites i coud not eat it anymore. So i just just finished off my tea and was out of there

    This meal has a really good flavor and it’s just something a little different — I mean, who eats something like this on trail?

    A very easy meal indeed – one pot style and doesn’t need a lot of water... Nice mild spicy hint underneath and very creamy.

    frequently asked questions

    What is Gluten Conscious?
     
    Gluten Conscious is a term we use to describe a product that is prepared with gluten free ingredients; however, it is not prepared in a gluten-free environment. While we are careful to avoid cross-contamination, it is possible that trace amounts of gluten may be present due to the use of gluten in our facility.
    Why is a Cook–in–Cozy™ recommended?
     

    We recommend that all of our hot meals spend time "steep-cooking" while snuggled in a Cook-in-Cozy. We find this method promotes a more consistent temperature and steady cook time for Cook-in-Bag preparation; and results in a better serving temperature for your meal. When not in use, our Cook-in-Cozy folds away nicely in your pack for storage and weighs in at only 1.4oz.

      I must have received the bad batch of polenta. I was really looking forward to it, but the amount of salt in the meal was nearly enough to gag me. Really! I could only eat two spoonsful of the polenta before having to dump it out. I *may* order it once more, just to be sure I wasn't hallucinating.

      My backcountry partner and I gave this a 'test drive' in Glacier NP this past weekend -- fantastic. Very easy to prep, tasty and filling enough to power us up the trail. We'll definitely be ordering more for breakfast and dinner on our backpacks.

      Outstanding! Creamy, filling, tasty, everything you want for breakfast. Could not be easier to make. I ordered the versions with sausage which I thought brought a lot of flavor to the table.

      I decided to try this polenta on a chilly winter morning in Colorado. I woke up and was excited to try this meal out. I got it all made and it tasted pretty good, every mouthfull was creamy, garlicy, ans cheesey. The only problem was that it was really strong, after about 10 or so bites i coud not eat it anymore. So i just just finished off my tea and was out of there
