We’ve been on the road for many days. My husband’s family is from California, so once every two years we make the long journey to visit them. Flying and renting a car would be super expensive for the six of us, so a three day road trip (one way) it is! Phew, what a trek.
We are en route right now, getting hungrier and hungrier for home cooked meals as we go. Once we arrive at home, here are the meals we look forward to (depending on what fresh produce I’ll be able to pick up at the store):
Breakfast
- Scrambled Eggs with Spinach and Cheese
- Green Machine Milkshakes
- Crepes with fruit and Cream Cheese Filling
- Pancake and Sausage Muffins
Lunch
- Chef Salads with Meat and Cheese
- Black Bean Chicken Nachos
- Cheeseburger Soup
- Easy Cheesy Bean Dip
Dinner
- Crock Pot Barbecue Chicken Breasts
- Easy Noodle Stir Fry
- Turkey Sausage and Red Bean Stew
- Taco Potatoes
Fruit and Veggie Side Dishes (I serve 1-4 per meal)
- Fresh Pineapple
- Apples
- Pears
- Clementines
- Carrots
- Broccoli
- Applesauce
- Asparagus
- Spinach
- Mixed Greens
- Green Beans
- Peas
- Pomegranates
- Blueberries
- Sweet Potatoes
- Sweet Peppers
- Cucumbers
Did you do any traveling this holiday season?
Be sure to get your free shipping and BOGO coconut oil this weekend!
I’m curious what you guys eat while you are on the road. Do you pack meals, or do you have a few “go-to” places that serve healthier food? Also, when you are visiting family/friends do you just put healthy eating on the back burner? I’ve gotten the impression that you value relationships with people more than being a stickler with healthy/real eating. So, what does that look like when you are visiting people and staying in their home. And if you do just eat whatever is served, how does that affect how you feel (physically)?
I’m copying these questions and turning it into an entire post to be shared this week since my readers always want to know about this and you asked it so well! :)
Ahh, you bring back some good memories from my childhood. My dad is also from California and we live in Michigan, so every 5 years or so we made the 3 day road trip too, but always in the summer =)
We’ve done a few long road trips like that. Drive safe. Have fun. Making memories!
Isn’t homeschooling wonderful for these types of things?
I really need to make your Cheeseburger Soup and check out your Taco Potatoes recipe. I have something I make that I call by the same name. Thanks for the recipes.
