Traditional hiking food tends to be a series of heartbreaks. After years of shoveling down stale mixed nuts and stuffing gelatinous protein bars into my gullet, I decided to buck convention and seek out hiking snacks and meals that actually tasted good (while still fitting neatly into my backpack.) Here are 15 of my tried-and-true edible accompaniments for a hike.

As the days begin to cool down, I turn to warm meals and drinks. These recipes aren't fancy, but they sooth my soul. Variations of most of these recipes have been cooked by my family for generations.

They use seasonal ingredients, such as pumpkins, dates and zucchini, or are baked in the oven which doesn’t get turned on over summer. Where possible I have linked to Australian websites.

I’ve lived in South Central Kentucky my whole life and I’ve been exploring this state’s food scene long before “farm to table” was a hashtag. 🙌 The Bluegrass and Bourbon Trail region is seriously underrated — and if you’re only stopping here for the bourbon (which, fair 😂), you are leaving so much on the table. Literally. I make regular trips up for great meals, wine tastings, outdoor theater, vintage shopping, and anything else that sounds like a good time on a random weekend — and over the years I’ve found some hidden gems, the locals-only favorites, and the spots worth driving an hour for. These aren’t chain restaurants or tourist traps. These are the places where the food is made with care, the service feels like family, and half the ingredients probably came from a farm down the road. If you’re planning a Bourbon Trail weekend, a girls trip on Lake Cumberland, or just a Kentucky road trip and want to eat WELL — save this list. You’re welcome in advance. 😄 What you’ll find here: • ✅ Locally owned restaurants worth the drive • ✅ Farm-to-table and locally sourced favorites • ✅ Hidden gems the tourists haven’t found yet • ✅ Perfect stops before or after bourbon distillery visits • ✅ Updated regularly as I discover new favorites Know a spot I need to try? Drop it in the comments — a lifelong Kentuckian is always on the hunt for the next great meal.

I'm a girl who has fallen into trying to make everything homemade nowadays because once you have kids you start to care more about what you are feeding them and what is in the products you are biying. Not that we don't go crazy every once in a while and have a sweet treat, in fact we do often, but I'm trying to be more intentional of what I feed them. These are recipes I love and my boys love. My oldest is VERY picky. I feel like they have a lot of prep work sometimes but they allow me to grab and go later instead of defaulting to buying something with not so great ingredients when we're in a pinch. Hopefully this is useful!
