Quick and easy. With the fast pace of life today, we tend to use a lot of fast and convenient foods. From drive through restaurants to microwavable meals, we want fast great tasting meals our whole family will love.  Mountain House foods do this for us. Their  freeze dried foods are super easy to prepare - just add hot water, wait 10 minutes... and eat! Because no cooking is required (except for the egg mix), these foods use less water and fuel than most fresh, frozen or dehydrated foods do.
