You have had a lot of great suggestions already. I usually dry my own stuff, but there is a lot that you can get at the regular stores. Look for some of the quick fix meals or ingredients. Minute Rice, instant mashed potatoes, cous cous, and even angle hair pasta work great to make meals with. Also look in the soup and sauce packet departments for things that you can add to rice and other things. I have used things like Knorrs Sun Dried Tomato Pesto etc to mix with other stuff.
Winco up here in Idaho has some great ingredients in their bulk foods department such as dehydrated refried beans and dried vegetables for soup bases. I know that there are some Wincos in Utah now, but I don't know if they all carry the same things.
There are some good videos on youtube on things like baking muffins with steam.
Also look up freezer bag cooking and trail food. There are lots of good recipes out there.
Whatever you do try things out at home first!
