Need help with food for a road trip

[cthulhukitty]

I'd pack food and not stop but once or twice to stretch my legs and use a bathroom. So I'd pack a thermos of coffee (or tea), lots of water, a meal of either a veggie wrap cause that's one-hand eating, soup in another thermos, or just a good sandwich of cucumber hummus and tomato, and I'd pack snacks of carrots, apples, and chips cause I'm a chip-a-holic on road trips.

Other fun things might be some very thin marinated and baked BBQ tofu, grapes, pretzels, pre-pealed nectarines, veggie quesadilas, chikn nuggets, etc. That's about half healthy stuff half junkie stuff. It is a road trip, afterall Have fun!

I'm packing a thermos of hot water for tea and I'm defiantly taking chips. I am also a chip-a-holic

Big jar of peanut butter, a knife and some crackers. And a stash of Powerbars/Clif Bars. Not interesting but kept me going for a week before.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM crackers and mustard

... pre-pealed nectarines, ...

Just curious why you'd peel a nectarine? The skins are quite tender/never heard of anyone not eating one, and the fruit would turn dark if cut too far ahead of time...

There's that.. and there's also where the heck do you get a decent nectarine in November?

If it were me, I'd be making Earth Balance, Marmite, and Avocado sandwiches on whole wheat. What about baking a batch of muffins to munch on? They're pretty filling.

I'm making the 12 hour trek to South Carolina (again) on the 12th.
I bake a batch of yummy oatmeal cookies to satisfy my junk food cravings.
I used to love cream cheese and olives on a bagel, so now I make it with Tofutti Cream Cheese and olives instead. Very portable and easy to eat.
I do travel with a cooler to pack some of the items that I can't find when I down there. I make a tray of eggplant 'parm' so I have something to eat when I'm down there. I pack a sandwich of that for the road too.

Finally made it back! I ended up making a huge pasta salad with yellow squash, red onion, carrot, broccoli, red & orange bell pepper,toasted chickpeas with a balsamic vinaigrette for dressing.

French bread and sharp cheddar on the side was perfect. I got inspired last minute to cook like crazy and it turned out wonderful

We are taking a road trip from Cali to Mississippi next month for Xmas. It will take us a couple days to get there. I plan on bringing a cooler packed with veggie sandwiches and veggie snacks. I want to eat healthy since we wont be hitting the gym.
