snacks...

Things have been pretty busy for us the past couple of weeks. A friend was staying with us for 2 weeks and we've been driving here, there and everywhere trying to prep for the hubby to start a new job. All that driving meant a lot of time spent in the car and very little time spent at home, in the kitchen. Which brought us to the dilemma of travel friendly food.

Now, normally, we'd just grab sandwiches from a local deli along with a bag of chips and some coffee. However, as I discussed previously, sandwiches are out of the question for multiple reasons, and most sandwich places do not offer soy or almond milk for their coffee. After checking a few chip ingredient lists, I was happy to find that many brands of corn chips, including my favorite, contain only corn, corn oil and salt. But a girl can not live on corn chips alone. So the question remained, what can we do for food when we're spending the day in the car?

I am still looking for more options, but here are a few ideas...
Apple wedges or celery with peanut butter
fruit salad
beef jerky
rice crackers or carrots with hummus
