How do you avoid feeding your family over processed food when you're on the road?

The biggest help in that has been the Igloo Iceless cooler. It plugs into the car and we load it with Good foods: sliced ham, string cheese, hard boiled eggs, steamed broccoli, cooked sausages. When the cooler fills up, for more veggies, we do cans with the pull-top: carrots, green beans, corn. Our daughter loves them. (Do not try to eat spinach out of a can. Bad, Bad Idea.)

Packets of tuna and salmon make for a great protein snack, and they even come in flavors like Ranch and BBQ now! Another great protein snack: Pork Rinds. Don't look at me like that, they're high in both protein and fat (both essential nutrients) and they're crunchy and also come in different flavors! Plus they're cheap. Just try not to think about the fact that you're eating pig skin. Not the most 'natural' snack food, but when you're limited, you do what you can.

By snacking for our meals, we avoid the hassle of trying to find decent fast food in middle-of-nowhere Montana and we know we always have something Good to eat packed in the car with us.

More detail in this post!

Thanks again Tara!(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

But once I get over that hump, it's all downhill, and the words start flowing again. It doesn't matter what I write about when I'm trying to force out the words; anything to get that creativity flowing.

When you're stuck, it sounds like the very last thing you want to do, but it's always worked for me: Just Write.(less)
