⛰️ Homemade Spaghetti That Stole the Show on the Appalachian Trail at 1263 Feet 🏔️

Nov '25 (edited) • Promotions

A few years ago my daughter and I joined her school for a ten mile hike on the Appalachian Trail. When we finally stopped for lunch, all the kids pulled out the usual… Wonder Bread sandwiches. Bright white bread, preservatives, processed cheese, seed oils, the whole toxic parade.

But what did we eat?

Before the trip, we freeze dried our leftover spaghetti and meatballs at home with our Harvest Right Freeze Dryer. We tossed the lightweight mylar pouch in our bag and off we went!

There we sat, 1263 feet of elevation, enjoying an actual homemade meal on the side of the trail. And let me tell you… we drew some attention. Everyone wanted to know what we were eating.

A hot, hearty, nutrient rich homemade meal. Everyone else was eating fluff. We were eating dinner, and it tasted just as fresh and homemade as the day we made it.

And the best part? We had also freeze dried some ice cream and shared it around. Freeze dried ice cream may not be the healthiest choice with all that sugar, but it is one delicious treat, and the kids went crazy for it.

🍝 Quick food does not have to mean junk food

Usually, quick convenient food in today’s world usually means a chemical feast with very little nutrition.

Freeze drying flips that completely. With a Freeze Dryer, I say it all the time..... "Convenience finally meets health!"

It preserves up to 97 percent of the nutrients, and keeps the taste, color, and texture of real food.

Nothing else comes close. Not dehydrating, not canning, not freezing. All other methods lose at least 40% of their nutrients. For a long time, only the pharmaceutical industry and government had freeze drying technology. It's how they can keep probiotic strains live and how the military made their MRE meals.

This is why I always joke that I love my Harvest Right Freeze Dryer more than my kids. Just kidding…But it is definitely in the top three.

🌿 Health and convenience together — finally

With a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer, you can:

✅ Make clean grab and go meals

Freeze drying brings convenience and health together in a way nothing else can.

Are they expensive, yes, but consider this an investment in your family's health, plus think of the savings over time and the satisfaction knowing your shelves are stocked with 25 year food.
