Topic: RE: Healthy snack/Road trip food?
Jerkey!!!! at work i basically work out of my car so i have things in there that i can snack on when i feel hungry. I LOVE jack links turkey nugget jerkey.
nuts- i dont go to them often but crunchy salty and they are protein
as the other said if you can bring a small cooler or even insulated lunch box with an ice pack bring string cheese and deli meats are always good
if you have to stop for food along the way try for a subway or any deli or quick mart like wawa or quick check etc . i order just the insides of the sandwich
in my trunk i also keep a tub of nectar's iced tea protein powder i just pick up a bottle of water while on the road and shake it up and its ready to drink!
in my glove box i keep protein bars for emergencies only tho i dont like to count on them much
tuna pouches are good too
or i have gotten lunchables at mini marts in a pinch. i dont eat the crackers but the turkey and ham and cheese aren't that bad if your stuck its bettern than fast food.

Topic: RE: WLS Friendly Apple/Fall Recipes???
I'm originally from the South and love Fried apples but they're loaded with sugar. What I do with apples gives you a similar taste though and it's SOOO easy...
Peel and slice the apples (I slice them into about 1/3" slices lengthwise, put them in a microwaveable casserole dish with a lid, add cinnamon and artificial sweetner to taste (I just use about 1/2 pack of sweet & low), cover the dish and microwave for about 4-5 mins depending on the amount and how mushy/crispy you want your apples -- this makes a cinnamony, apple syrup like coating and they are delish. This would probably work to make apple pie filling but I'm not that adventuresome.
Apples are also good peeled, sliced and cooked with a pork loin roast.

Almonds!!! Yummm! (Especially the smokehouse variety)
If you can take a small cooler, I'd take some string cheese and sliced ham/turkey. They'd be easy to eat on the road.
Have a great trip!

I had bookmarked that recipe awhile ago. I thought it would come in handy. I hope it helps.

I would start with what I call "The Beginning" and use Julia Child's recipe
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Crepes-Fines-Sucrees-100838
A half recipe is often sufficient AND the "low carb" types could use an alternate flour (like almond) since the crepes don't need to rise.

You could keep things simple...tuna packets, nuts, veggies. Make some onion dip with Greek yogurt. Boil some eggs or make a chicken salad and use a cooler. Take some string cheese. If staying overnight then maybe find a grocery store when you stop.

Topic: Healthy snack/Road trip food?
Hey guys! First let me say that the recipes on this site are awesome (I have tried many and EVERYONE should try the noodleless lasagna!) So thanks for posting them!!!
Ok, on October 22 I am leaving for a week long trip to Florida (yay!) which is a 14 hour drive for me. My first problem is that on long trips I tend to snack in the car. Does anyone have any recipes that would keep in a car?
Also, I would prefer to not eat fast food unless I absolutely have to, so again, any ideas? I would just pack a huge salad and eat it twice but raw veggies don't like me anymore :(
Thanks everyone!!

Hey Stitch! I have never eaten tofu at home...just in Chinese food, etc. I wondered about the water and ice melt as well. LOL

Glad you liked!
If you use egg beaters with the oatmeal version I would suggest to add a little more .. mine came out wicked crumbly and a little too dry. I would do a little more egg beatrs myself :) Or maybe 2 eggs if you use real eggs :)
