This weekend our girls are in a weekend long swim meet. Translation….we need a lot of food to take with us. Yes, we could actually buy fast food everyday and it would be easier, but really? From a family that never eats out, and I mean never, that just sounds so gross.
So today I'm in the kitchen cooking up a storm. I've got pita breads fresh out of the oven to stuff with our favorite lunch options. Fruit snacks are chilling in the fridge and granola bars are packaged up and ready to go. Tomorrow I'll whip up some homemade chips real quick to take with us. Man, are those yummy and surprisingly enough they only take about 15 minutes for me to whip up. Finally for breakfast, I'm thinking about surprising the kids with some homemade toaster strudels - they'll love that. I can make those in advance and they can heat them at the hotel later. Throw a bunch of fruit in the cooler and we are good to go.
You see, good food is not hard to make. You just need to plan. I don't pick crazy elaborate meals that my family eats on the road. Nope. Not going there. Just simple ones. Things that can be reheated (if that's an option) or healthy munchies to grab and go. It keeps us clear of the fast food places for a long as we possibly can and at the same time, I feel better about what's going into their bellies.
So for now, I'm off to whip up some toaster strudels. And then get this crew ready to go swim up a storm.
