Every time we go on a trip where we are not flying we do this. We pack snacks and meals and we plan one night out for dinner. It helps us to save so much
Your oatmeal cookie recipe is the original Quaker oats recipe from the box. I learned how to make it when I was a little girl in the late 50s. Our whole family loves those cookies! We add raisins and 1 tsp. of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. ginger, and 1/4 tsp. cloves. Yummy!
I make a very good Lemon Almond Chicken Salad that my husband begs me to make for him. Ingredients: 3-4 cups cooked shredded chicken, zest of one lemon, juice of one lemon, Handful of almonds chopped (I like the lightly salted) , 3 green onions chopped (both whites and green parts) 1-2 celery stalks, 1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt (you can use Mayo--both works great). Throw all ingredients in and mix together. Taste for seasoning and you may need to add more lemon juice depending on how much lemon flavor you want. My husband loves it either in a wrap or a pita. I like it more as a dip with crackers.
I always make a loaf of bread, rolls, breakfast muffins or bread and cookies to take with us and then I normally do a meal plan so I can pack everything prepped and ready to cook. It is so much easier to have a plan so that you know what you can choose from to get dinner on the table quickly.
I use chicken thighs for my salad. When I boil. I put a big scoop of chopped garlic and 1/2 onion 1 big potato or 2 small, 2/3 eggs. Shred, and mayo ( I like mine moist) a can of sweet corn. Salt, pepper, garlic powder. A hint of mustard. And serve with tostada shells and top with parmesan cheese and tapatio hot sauce! 💚
When we go on family trips even as everyone is older and grandkids with us, I pack each one of us a sandwich box, it usually has either sandwiches, pasties ( puff pastry filled with meat and veggies), olives or cucumber slices, chips etc. for sandwiches, it can be cream cheese mixed with chopped mint ( also can be used with crackers), cheese wedges spread with olives, chicken sandwiches with pickles.
We recently went out of town for a wedding weekend. We rented a home (VRBO) as we were taking our epileptic dog with us. I meal prepped breakfast sandwiches, brought along deli turkey, cheese and bread for lunches, snacks, protein bars and 1 dinner to just heat up. It was great as 2 of our nights were covered for dinner. We saved a ton of money and didn’t have to leave our dog alone too much. The perfect way to travel.
If you like tarragon try adding some to your chicken salad. Delish! My family loves chicken salad with apples, celery, and honey yogurt mixed with powdered curry.
Some things I made to bring was blt with avocado 🥑,peanut butter with banana,sometimes egg/cheese/bacon bagels,burritos,quesadillas,popcorn,chips,chocolate,salad,potato salad,cheeses and crackers,good 🥖 bread
We always make chicken strips and then we make food that can be cooked and frozen like sloppy joes and tacos. We then bring everything completely frozen that way do not have to worry about it spoiling. I have never had chicken salad like that. I have had chicken salad spread where you pulse the chicken to chop it and then you do that with eggs and onions. Mix in a bowl and add pickle relish, mustard, and mayo and it’s amazing.
For my chicken salad I add mayo, onion, celery and seasoning of salt and pepper and adobo seasoning. I may add apples or raisins and walnuts or almonds.
Agree with you, That's a Great gift idea for Mother's Day!😍😍 Those breakfast bowls looked DE-LI-CIOUS!😋 All of the meals and cookies 🍪 looked Really TASTY! Loooove your pantry!🤗
Kmmie i have a feeling you really need this weekend so I hope you really enjoy it and get some much-needed relaxation well deserved relaxation you've had a lot going on lately with my friends down time will do you good god bless❤️
When I make chicken salad it is usually just for me. It's pretty plain. I am going to try your recipe though next time. A few years ago, I went on a business trip with my husband. I brought food with us to make in the little kitchen we had in the room. With the money for food his company gave him, we split subs from Subway or bought food at the local grocery store. We had a weeklong paid vacation for the most part. Yes, he went to "work" but it was a learning trip so he enjoyed that. Thanks for all your recipes!
If we are driving the beef Jerky is a MUST. I have recently been making my own, and it is so good! My other fave is some type of nut. So, if I have the time to make them ahead I will pull out my honey roasted peanut recipe.
Oatmeal cookies are my favorite. I use half butter, half shortening to get a buttery flavor. Plus, I soak raisins and crazins in hot water to rehydrate for chewy goodness. I like a few nuts too. You inspired me I’m heading up to Park City for a weekend away. Love walking down Main Street and reading all the creative and clever store names.
Hi from England x I love this,we just had a weekend away,but the room didnt have a kit when,so we took a cool box of mezze,salads,milk for cereal etc and snacks, and had dinner out x
For chicken salad,I add 1/2 c pineapple juice,and 1 can pineapple tidbits,sour cream,mayo,chopped nuts .pecans,grapes,celery,onion,and shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper,and whatever seasonings you like.
Travel food we have to have; ham salad, chocolate chip cookies, potato salad and lots of fruit. That chicken salad looked nummy and I just love grapes in mine as well....
One of my favorites is making any kind of tortilla roll-up. If we just want bites, I'll slice them up, and if we might want them for a light meal, I'll leave them whole. Usually use the 6 inch ones for those. There are so many fillings that can be made and they hit the spot.
I really love this video. I travel to soccer games with my two kids many weekends. I really love to try to pack a few meals, so we don’t need to eat out 3x/ day😖. We are often in a hotel, Possibly with a microwave, but not always. I’ve taken my small instant pot before, and more often take an electric fry pan. I loved your idea for a whole breakfast meal all in one bowl/ container.
Have you ever made curry chicken salad? I add sweet curry powder and turmeric to the mayo. Then I mix in dried cranberries, celery, and slivered almonds to the salad. It's delicious on its own or in a wrap.
I really liked seeing these items made in quantities my husband and I would eat. Sometimes the really big batches of food don’t feel as relatable to me. Although, I should just think in advance to make the recipe, eat it now, and immediately put leftovers in a container (or two) for the freezer.
We be renting a camper van and I be doing some preparation. Just take breakfast cereals, milk, berries and for lunch maybe cooked eggs or I'll make egg salat. And pre cook some noodles with meat balls. That last us two days.The camper has a fridge and a stove...
Not many in my family like chicken salad. I love it!! Sometimes I'll make a small batch just for me. 😉 I do mine up like you do too. I don't mind pecans, tiny chopped walnuts or almonds in mine. If I have them on hand in they go!
Wow ~ we would never take our meals with us if we went on a weekend getaway to Park City. We would take advantage of all of the amazing restaurants to eat. Eating out to us is part of the fun! 😁 We have a lot of favorite restaurants in Park City. It’s a good thing we are all different. 👍😊 For the chicken salad I like to use pineapple. It’s so yummy!! I don’t know if you used celery but I like celery too ~ it gives it an awesome crunch. I also get cashews and add them right before you eat. (Otherwise they get soggy). I serve them with croissants. So delicious!! I hope you have a wonderful trip!
Glad you too enjoyed yourselves! I need alot of proteins and I like veggies with cream cheese and dips with not any mayo.. sorry ..no can do. I like hiking and biking and need a kick me up. Some snack crackers. Be nice!
I do 20 - 25 minutes for chicken breast all the time. We love to add a can of rotel and cook with the chicken, for chicken fajitas, or chicken taco soup. That chicken salad is one of my favorites!
I love the breakfast bowl idea. My family would love that. Where did you get the reusable bowls and lids? My favorite chicken salad is Natasha’s Kitchen fancy chicken salad. We love it on croissants.
I prep my Chicken salad this way: Use a very large bowl (trust me). I mix Mayonnaise with the fruit I use (if you haven't fresh fruit on hand use canned, drained mandarins), green onions, red onions (no celery because I cannot stand the taste) salt and pepper. Make sure it is not too heavy on the Mayo side. Scoop the chicken in very careful.
I have never had chicken salad this way. I make mine pretty basic just shredded chicken, mayo,seasoned salt and a can or two of mixed vegetables served on top of a tostada with a drizzle of tapatio or saracha.
We love to take homemade party mix to snack in the car or at the hotel. I love those containers with lids and handles that you have in your pantry. Where did you get those? That is a great size.
I like grapes and apples. I’m making some tomorrow and don’t have grapes so I think I’ll use some apple and slivered almonds. I also use seasoned salt and thyme!
Re: aura frame pics. OHMYGRAVY! Your kiddos are SO grown up! It seems like just yesterday they were little. Hope you enjoyed your getaway. The meals look fantastic! Great ideas! Might have to meal prep for camping coming up. Thanks for the ideas! 👍🏻

I like it more as a dip with crackers.
Dried cranberries for chicken salad is good too.
This couldn't have come at a better time! Here's to making our Anniversary weekend just a little bit more affordable! Thank you!
Growing up for road trips my dad would smoke drummets and wings and that’s what we would snack on. Sometimes we would have them for breakfast too.
My Grandson lives 6 hours away so my kids bought me one of those frames for my birthday. Best gift ever!
I am so happy young couples still do this! Glad you had a great weekend together. God bless you both!
Park City is great.
Took a 6 month ski vacation and rented a house there in 1984.
The missionaries always find me, wherever I go . Lol🙈😂 ❤
My husband and I are going camping. I’m going to make those breakfast bowls for one morning.
I always make a loaf of bread, rolls, breakfast muffins or bread and cookies to take with us and then I normally do a meal plan so I can pack everything prepped and ready to cook. It is so much easier to have a plan so that you know what you can choose from to get dinner on the table quickly.

Brilliant ideas. As a big family anything that helps us save is good xx

I really enjoyed watching this video and got some great ideas from it. Do post more videos of make ahead meals for 2. Thanks a bunch.

We always stay at places that have some sort of kitchen, and make our own food...with kids it's so much easier.
All of your recipes look so good and I love oatmeal raisin cookies!!!! You have given me some neat ideas for new recipes!!!
Hi from England x I love this,we just had a weekend away,but the room didnt have a kit when,so we took a cool box of mezze,salads,milk for cereal etc and snacks, and had dinner out x
Everything looks delicious, have a wonderful, relaxing, great getaway weekend, oh you did….lol💕
The oatmeal raisin cookies I make you boil the raisins and use the juice from them and add the baking soda to juice. It’s my grandmas recipe.
For chicken salad,I add 1/2 c pineapple juice,and 1 can pineapple tidbits,sour cream,mayo,chopped nuts .pecans,grapes,celery,onion,and shredded chicken. Season with salt and pepper,and whatever seasonings you like.
That sounds so good!!!

Good Morning family 🌅 and Happy Sunday 🌞 here watching
Aura must be hitting up all the influencers your the 5th one I've seen such a thoughtful gift those breakfast bowls look delish!
i sometimes substitute grapes for dried cranberries (craisins) and i make it in advance ( no more soggy grapes) i also put in almonds.
When we take trips we never go anywhere so hey refrigerators big enough for meals. But we do take plenty snacks and drinks that’s how we save money.
Oh my goodness..everything looks delicious!!! Hope you enjoyed your mini get away ❤
I’m going away in the summer with my husband, I’m going try some of this, it looks so good. Thank you x
I really love this video. I travel to soccer games with my two kids many weekends. I really love to try to pack a few meals, so we don’t need to eat out 3x/ day😖.

No grapes to my chicken salad but I do add Mustard 😋 delicious
I do 20 minutes to 25 minutes for Frozen chicken breast and it always turns out great
I add a little curry powder to my chicken salad.
Yay for breaks! I don't want to be cooking too much on a getaway either.
I know your kitchen is smelling oh so lovely 😍
My chicken salad I use smoked almonds and rosemary and it’s amazing!! Glad you had a wonderful time sweet girl!!🥰
Have you ever made curry chicken salad? I add sweet curry powder and turmeric to the mayo. Then I mix in dried cranberries, celery, and slivered almonds to the salad. It's delicious on its own or in a wrap.

I once had chicken salad with sliced almonds at a baby shower. I love it that way.
I like to put plneapple cashews and curry powder. It is Amazing
Not many in my family like chicken salad. I love it!! Sometimes I'll make a small batch just for me. 😉 I do mine up like you do too. I don't mind pecans, tiny chopped walnuts or almonds in mine. If I have them on hand in they go!
Haha. I always need a bigger bowl for mixing too!
I make Waldorf salad the chicken the mayonnaise some cranberries some green apple and some walnuts.
Wow ~ we would never take our meals with us if we went on a weekend getaway to Park City. We would take advantage of all of the amazing restaurants to eat. Eating out to us is part of the fun! 😁 We have a lot of favorite restaurants in Park City. It’s a good thing we are all different. 👍😊

Love chicken salad...but never think to make it! Will be doing so now!! Like mine simple...mayo, S&P and red grapes! Must haves are snacks!!
I do 20 - 25 minutes for chicken breast all the time. We love to add a can of rotel and cook with the chicken, for chicken fajitas, or chicken taco soup. That chicken salad is one of my favorites!

I like chicken, mayo,red wine vinegar, celery, dried cranberries, shredded cheese, pecans, dill, salt and pepper in my chicken salad.
I need to make chicken salad now. Yummy! I make mine the same way but add pecans, an apple and ranch seasoning.
I use grapes, apple and pecans in my chicken salad.
Will definitely think of this one when we go away on our staycation this year. already have snacks to take with us. xxx
I have never had chicken salad this way. I make mine pretty basic just shredded chicken, mayo,seasoned salt and a can or two of mixed vegetables served on top of a tostada with a drizzle of tapatio or saracha.
Must haves are homemade cashew butter cookies, potato chip cookies, cherry 🍒 jello cups, coffee, 🍎 apples,
We also do cheese and bacon along with everything you added to chicken salad.
Dried cranberries are nice in it. 🙂❤️
I love my homemade chicken salad with pecans, celery, and grapes or apples!
My chicken salad is almost the same as yours except my dressing is half mayo and half sour cream or plain yogurt to lighten it up just a bit. Yum!!!
We love to take homemade party mix to snack in the car or at the hotel. I love those containers with lids and handles that you have in your pantry. Where did you get those? That is a great size.
Great video!🙌🏻❤️
I like grapes and apples. I’m making some tomorrow and don’t have grapes so I think I’ll use some apple and slivered almonds. I also use seasoned salt and thyme!
In my chicken salad!
Love all these recipes, catching up on my UA-cam favorites again, you being #1! Hard to find the time with a 2 month old lol 😆
I used dried cherries - it's a Michigan thing :)
Red grapes give me migraines so I'm stuck with green grapes. I absolutely love the color red grapes give the salad!
Would something like craisins bother you? If not, maybe some in the salad would work for you.
Re: aura frame pics. OHMYGRAVY! Your kiddos are SO grown up! It seems like just yesterday they were little.
Hope you enjoyed your getaway. The meals look fantastic! Great ideas! Might have to meal prep for camping coming up.
Thanks for the ideas! 👍🏻
My chicken salad is simple - chicken, mayo, onion, celery, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Loved this video thanks 😊
I make Waldorf Chicken salad and serve them on croissant.
I make a killer classic chocolate chip cookie with pecans that’s going on my vacation.
Breakfast looked so good!!! Where did you get the bowls?
Amazon. I think I left a link in the description box. If not it’s in my recent homemaker life.
