We aren't packing with our goats now (ours are carters-in-the-pasture), but my hubby and I backpacked quite a bit in our pre-kid days. Love the dehydrator! We dried veggies for stir-fry (they rehydrate and spring back to life most amazingly to make a crunchy dish on the trail), spaghetti sauce w/ meat (tip: crumble the hamburger into small bits as you brown it at home before adding to the sauce), and pretty much anything non-oily. Fruit leather and dried fruits are a given, of course.
Barbara Beach shared this recipe at a packers' cooking class back in June 1980. It is a scrumptious trail snack (too many calories to eat when you aren't hiking, pooh!).
CREAM CHEESE TRAIL SNACKS
8 oz. pkg cream chees
1/4-1/2 c. honey
vanilla to taste
1 c. chopped dates
1 c. chopped walnuts
Mix all ingredients and dry on Teflon sheets in the dehydrator. Eat out of hand on the trail. Barbara suggests adding assorted dried fruit and covering with boiling water for a warm "fruit and cream" breakfast food.
Yes, I heartily second the suggestion about backpackingchef.com. Isn't gourmet eating the whole reason for hiking??
