Meals In a Bag Series Intro // GW

What is a meal in a bag? For me a meal in a bag must meet 3 criteria:

#1: Must be a complete meal with a minimum of 1 each: protein, starch, vegetable or fruit.

#2: Must include any water/liquid in the bag that is necessary to prepare the meal.

#3: Can be consumed WITHOUT cooking or heating if  not available. 

They can be heated and cooked IF DESIRED but is NOT necessary to safely consume.

There are MANY channels on you tube to watch for inspiration. I will be bagging some of MY recipes and preparing them for you and here are some more channels for you to watch for additional inspiration.
