Great menu!
A few other thoughts: I always bring a small jar of peanut butter to supplement all meals and it's gone by the end of the week. Angel hair pasta is easier than dehydrated pasta and cooks up the same because of the high surface to volume ratio. Drink powder also works great to mask treated water taste. Would suggest diversifying fruit: like adding dehydrated pineapple, apricots, or cranberries.
Be very, VERY careful with your dried apricot consumption. If you aren't used to eating a bunch of them, you'll run out of mountain money. Not a good position to be in.
Haven't done any backpack hunts, just backpacking (mostly on a college budget), but-
Instant mashed potatoes are a staple, especially with sliced landjaeger or crispy cooked bacon.
Cous cous is pasta, but only takes 5 minutes after adding boiling water. Add a packet or two of tuna to the mix (sun-dried tomato is the best one). Cheap, faster than freeze-dried food, filling, and tasty. Re-pack the cous-cous & seasonings into a ziplock instead of the cardboard to reduce trash.
Bear Creek dry soup mixes, if you have a small army to feed, a sodium deficiency, and lots of fuel.
Dry Lipton Rice side dishes (creamy chicken).
Tortillas with peanut butter and banana are great, but need to be made day-of (so day hikes only).
Cheese, if it's cold. Crackers don't hold up in a pack, so chuck it on a tortilla, maybe with some salami.
Jerky, salami, chex mix, trail mix (ok, just M&Ms), pecans, dried fruit (limit apricots & prunes), lara bars, protein bars, granola bars, irish bars, etc. for whenever the mood strikes you.
Two packs of instant oatmeal for breakfast.
Try to steal hot-sauce packs from wherever you can. Mustard, too. Single-serve jelly can be a nice addition and sugar-boost if you need it (clean out the Cracker Barrel).
And of course, copious amounts of tea and squinchers.
