I try to carry a small cooler with a few of the drinks we normally drink, some apples, granola bars etc. My kids will eat apples etc. if their available, but otherwise they'll gorge on junk!Peppermint Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02839146118641977559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-47172665108489696892010-10-31T20:21:41.669-04:002010-10-31T20:21:41.669-04:00I often have the oreos in the car for a road trip,...I often have the oreos in the car for a road trip, but the tuna sounds good.

You may have inspired me to get them to clean out my car today ... we'll restock it with some good on-the-road food.<br /><br />(my Weekend Cooking post today isn't about food, but about food containers)Dawn @ sheIsTooFondOfBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09285873722005594325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-29531740547465792142010-10-30T09:04:44.206-04:002010-10-30T09:04:44.206-04:00The perfect emergency food!!

Mostly because soda machine never have it. Some bottle water, also on ice. That I forgot this trip, so had to ‘spring’ for the Smokey Mt. water.<br /><br />Some microwave mini-bags of popcorn for the hotel at night, assuming they have a microwave in the room, which many do now. Some breakfast bars, some crackers, in case I happen upon a great local cheese..<br /><br />It saves a lot of money, a lot of hassle, over buying on the road and I just bring home anything left over anduse it at home.caitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824538078958999767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-34804408536502893832010-10-30T08:52:34.802-04:002010-10-30T08:52:34.802-04:00never underestimate the importance of food on the ...never underestimate the importance of food on the road!
