In the fall, New Mexico Wild announced a Recipe Contest. Last year, Nancy Morton Intern Isa Noelles created a backcountry recipe book. To celebrate the book and Isa’s hard work, New Mexico Wild decided to host the recipe contest. Participants could submit up to four recipes within four categories: Breakfast, Entrees, Trail Snacks and Desserts. All recipes needed to be accessible for campers and backpackers. Each submission also had to include detailed instructions and a photo of the prepared recipe.
Each winning recipe received a prize. First place winners received a fuel jet stove and REI soft cooler. Second place winners received an REI fanny pack and New Mexico Wild baseball cap. Third place winners received a New Mexico Wild water bottle and an REI gift card. Thank you to REI for donating some of our awesome prizes!
