Preparing Food for a Road Trip
Going out of town could mean eating out of cans and stopping at gas stations to eat or use the bathroom. You need not feel like roughing it out is torture, if you prepare in advance.
First, of course you need to prepare your car. You can’t afford to stall in the middle of the highway where it’s 40 degrees outside. Prepare early and find out what companies with auto body estimating software can tell you about your car’s capacity to be driven long distance.
Now that you’re ready and your car is all good, you can start thinking about the things you will bring along.
Road trip veterans know a thing or two about enjoying the day with a variety of foods, as well as how to pack the right foods for a whole day of outdoor fun driving to your destination. Food that won’t spoil easily will be useful, because you can’t afford to get sick on the road because of food that has gone bad.
Marinated chicken drumsticks and wings, turkey legs, and even ribs are great. If you have somewhere to park your trailer, you can bring along your portable grill and make kabobs. Chili is another classic road trip dish that actually does double duty. A nice big bowl of chili is a filling dish all on its own. But, if you want to eat a hot dog from a street stall, why not turn it into a chili dog? With a sturdy bun, grilled hot dog, a generous dollop of chili, and a sprinkling of diced sweet onion, you’ve got a satisfying meal.
