I have an extra zippered compartment in my pack that I carry 2 or 3 Mountain House meals in "just in case" I need them. My usual day hiking or overnight trip meal however is Ramen that I fortify with dried veggies & mushrooms. I buy fresh produce, slice it thinly, then run it thru my dehydrator and vacuum seal it in one serving size packs. I also usually slice up a Slim Jim or some beef jerky and add it to the ramen while it cooks - makes a pretty hearty meal. Corn bread mix (just add water) is another one of my staples. I carry along a couple of 9 inch pie tins and bake it dutch oven style by inverting one tin over the other - another use for the pie tins is to make pizza (pic related). Foil pack tuna is also good, it comes in many flavors and is only 1 dollar a pouch. Pancake mix (again just add water) is awesome for breakfast - mix it up in the pouch then eat them with jelly or peanut butter - any leftovers make a good carry along snack to eat on the go without having to stop hiking.
