We each have our own personal relationship with food. And this relationship also reflects who we are—whether we’re an athlete fueling up for a big day in the mountains, or a parent trying to get his kids fed before school. And like every other relationship in our lives, while we grow as people, our relationship with food grows, too.

As for me, my relationship with food evolved the moment I moved into my car two years ago. It’s an old Subaru Loyale. I have a small fold out table, a single butane burner, and a few pots and pans. My pantry piles itself into a transparent plastic container I found in my parent’s basement. I started out with a cooler back in 2014, but I don’t use one anymore. This kitchen has been with me while I’ve explored North America as a climber, from Squamish, British Columbia, to Fayetteville, West Virginia, and south as far as Mexico City.

I’ve gotten pretty good at the “single-pot” meals, especially since I’m usually trying to cook after a long day out climbing. I don’t have the energy for something complicated when I return, usually well past dark, too exhausted to cook but starving. Likewise, I’m always wondering about breakfast: do I have time to cook something before we do it all over again? Must I suffice with a cream cheese bagel under a fried egg yet again?

Here are a few options, then, from my no-measure cookbook to yours. These are simple recipes that might give you a few ideas on how to balance your food with your life, whether it’s a night out camping in the Tetons, or a thousand more on the road, exploring the world.
