I asked this before, but the answers were things like TV dinners so I’ll try to say more this time.
I am going to the Great Wolf Lodge soon. 3 days, 2 nights. We’ll have to bring food because eating out would cost too much. The room has a mini fridge and microwave. I’m looking for things I can actually make. REAL food. I despise TV dinners. It would have to survive a car trip about 5 hours long. Yes, I have a (small) cooler. Yes, I can buy some stuff (like bread and stuff that would be ruined in a car) at a nearby store. Most of the stuff would be in plastic bags (I have like no containers). I have the ability to actually cook (Not nearly a gourmet chef, but I can make a fair amount of stuff (I like making bread the best. Its fun) and recipes don’t confuse me) but not the ability to buy super expensive ingredients. I like healthier, fresher food (meaning not everything has to be fried and covered in cheese)
One of the things I was thinking of would be Pizza. I make it. The crust is just a jiffy mix, but its okay. And would stand a car trip (its not like regular pizza, kinda tough)
And Gazpacho. Its not like what you are probably thinking, tomato in a blender. Its chopped cucumbers and tomatoes with salt, garlic, a bit of oil, and enough water to fill the bowl, then put in the fridge for at least an hour. I would either A) make it all there or B) Dice the veggies and crush the garlic, add the water there. But that could be messy…
So, any suggestions?
And if you are awesome, you would list a good recipe.
And if you are totally awesome, you would put the ingredients in a handy little list with comments of what to buy at a store ex. Smoothies
Frozen berries
Sugar
Milk (buy when there)
Yogurt (buy when there)
Make sure to say things that I could make there and stuff I could make at home!
Ramen noodles are gross
Plain without flavoring and salty with it. And it doesn’t have a stove.
Also, it will be in Traverse City, so is there anything really good there (Like Pinconning is known for cheese)? (Cherries won’t be in season yet)
… What kind of hotel has a fire pit?
Or
… Who brings a mini fridge camping?
