Years ago, I snapped these photos of some simple meal options we were packing for a beach vacation. At the time, we were traveling with our then-infant and toddler.
For this particular trip, I was planning to make:
-pancakes – a mixture that only required water
- veggies and bread to serve with some chicken I had prepped and tossed in the cooler
- everything we needed to make easy at-home pizzas
- ingredients for tacos (The ground beef we needed was in our cooler.)
- supplies for spaghetti (The ground beef for this was also in the cooler.)
If you’re planning to travel with meat in your cooler, you can prepare and freeze it ahead of time. Or you can travel with it frozen and then cook when you arrive to your location.
