It is high summer and we are headed to Cape Cod for a small weekend away, (Ah, blissful place!) but we're also looking to save money. (Haha! On Cape Cod!) We have a motel room with a little refrigerator and a microwave, should something need re-heating, and I'm planning to do all the ahead cooking I can to save the restaurant bills and snacking stops one inevitably makes on these trips.
I want to be like Ma Ingalls, Mrs. Appleyard the Gilbreth Family...women in days of yore when they never left on a trip without a bursting hamper, full of all manner of good things for munching. That has to be doable, right?
I need ideas! What can I make ahead and pack in our cooler and then serve my family between dips in the sea? So far I've thought of:
- Peach turnovers (we picked peaches this past weekend and THEN got peaches from our CSA)
- Hard boiled eggs
- A wedge of nice cheese
- Carrot sticks
- Peanut butter and honey sandwiches, sliced in little squares for snack or meals for little hands.
- Steamed green beans from our garden, tossed with a little soy sauce
