Cooking Games: Gorp


Easily one of my favorite cooking games, making gorp doesn’t require any special skills and you don’t even need a real recipe. Gorp changes based on the season, the contents of your pantry and your mood that day. But since we must all start somewhere, I’ll offer you a basic idea of how to make your own gorp.

Gorp Ingredients:
Dry Cereal – The whole grain variety is obviously best, and you want something that isn’t going to flake apart and make a huge mess.
Nuts – Peanuts are always an option as are walnuts, pecans and almonds
Dried Fruit – Raisins might be the first kind to come to mind, but don’t discount dried bananas, cherries, strawberries or peaches.

Gorp Instructions
Mix ¼ cup of all ingredients together into a plastic zipper bag. Shake the bag a few times to mix things up and then walk out of the door or sit on the couch. Gorp is designed to be easy nutrition on the go – whether you’re going out and about or not going anywhere at all. Try different varieties every day to find something that works for your mood that day and always enjoy!
