Day 13

On the road again!  That seems to be a recurring theme in my life.  Last evening we had to be just outside of Berwick in the Annapolis Valley, getting back home around 10 pm.  Then we left for the same area this morning at 8 am.  The drive time is about 1 1/2 hours each way.

So I've become the master of making "box lunches".  Not really box - more like "cooler bag" lunches.  When I make our morning smoothies, I just make double the amount and put the extra in 2 16 ounce thermos bottles that I keep in the freezer.  Then I pack the cooler bag with the thermoses, 2 small ice packs, lots of fruit, nuts, and raw cookies.  A lunch fit for a king and queen!

Three summers ago we traveled to Vancouver Island and back - 52 days - on our motorcycle.  I made our breakfast in the motel room every morning and also our lunch to eat on the road.  It made for great healthy meals and we saved loads of money on meals.    We even had green smoothies twice a day.  I had made cookies, fruit and nut bars, and other goodies to take along and these lasted us all the way out and back.  We felt great for eating such healthy meals and didn't gain a pound!

I try not to have the same supper meal 2 days in a row, but Noel really likes those BLT's like we had yesterday.  So I treated him with the same tonight.  And we had those Kale Chips fresh out of the dehydrator.  They are soooo good!

I'm going to try a new recipe for supper tomorrow.  You'll get the report, and recipe if it's good.  And I'll be making something different for breakfast - so stay tuned.
