4/11/2024 0 Comments Vacation meal planner printable![]() Of course, there will still be times on vacation when you do eat out. Macaroni and cheese for the kids and Nachos for the adults Hash browns, fried eggs topped with local cheese and bacon Salmon (fresh caught, bought from a local fishery), wild mushroom rice (Uncle Ben’s!) and Greek Salad Hot dogs for the kids + grilled Brie, bacon and granny smith apple sandwiches on rye bread for the adults My sister-in-law Deanne’s Paleo Breakfast (eggs scrambled with sautéed onions and garlic, topped with parmesan cheese, cubed avocado and salsa) Having a splurge meal like ribs or steak while on vacation helps us stick to our plan of eating in as often as we can. I know that ribs are expensive, but they are a fraction of the cost of what feeding our large family in a restaurant would be. make extra bacon bits and sliced green onions for Nachos on Day 6.make extra guacamole for snacks or to have with nachos on Day 6īBQ ribs, baked potatoes with all the fixin’s, corn on the cob, grilled garlic bread.On flour tortillas, add the chicken cubes, grated cheese, chopped red peppers, chopped tomatoes, chopped onion, and sliced jalapeños. Omelettes and breakfast potatoes made with the leftover baked potatoesĬoat a few boneless, skinless chicken breasts in cajun spice. cut extra veggies for the quesadillas on Day 4.Cook in the oven or on the BBQ until they are as soft as you like them to be. Add a few slices of butter and salt and pepper and seal the foil. To make the veggie packets, cut the vegetables into large chunks. slice extra purple onions for Cobb salad on Day 3īBQ chicken, roasted asparagus, baked potatoes, and vegetable packets (this particular time, I put red pepper, sweet potato, zucchini, yellow squash, and purple onion in the veggie packets).Inside, put lettuce, tzatziki, crumbled or cubed feta cheese, sliced purple onion, and sliced tomato. You can also buy it pre-made, but it’s very simple to make and so fresh tasting! You then cut a pita in half and open it to create a pita pocket. To make these, you will need to first make tzatziki. Spaghetti (regular noodles and gluten free) wash extra lettuce for the souvlaki pitas on Day 2 and for the hamburgers on Day 3.cook extra bacon for the Cobb Salad on Day 3. ![]() Toasted BLTA sandwiches (bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado) I also plan the easiest meals for the first and last day and I use some of the prep work for meals for our snacks as well. Since it’s also supposed to be my vacation too (!), I try to plan so that I can do some of the prep work for future meals when I already have out the tools and ingredients to save myself time. I also knew we wanted to have at least one meal with fresh seafood since we were on the ocean. I had also discovered on previous trips some locally made cheeses that I knew I wanted to incorporate into some of our meals. It’s the third time we had stayed at this particular place which made planning much easier as I knew which kitchen utensils the condo rentals came with and what local grocery stores to shop at. The vacation meal plan that I am sharing with you today is from a recent vacation that we took to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. One of our sons is gluten free, so that is something I also have to take into consideration even when we are away. I don’t want to eat peanut butter and jam sandwiches and KD on my holiday! I also find that if we just eat easy food (read junk), I don’t feel well and that puts a damper on the time away too. There are certain meals that make it into every one of our vacation meal plans because they are easy to make and sure to be a hit with my family.įor me, food is a big part of a vacation, so it’s important that we eat well. ![]() I pack a few things from home such as spices to cut down on costs and try to plan somewhat around what is seasonal or what the location we are going to is known for. Eating out with a lot of kids is not my idea of relaxing!īefore leaving home, I meal plan for the vacation and write out a grocery list so that as soon as we get to our destination, I can go shopping and get settled in. It not only allows us to save a lot of money in terms of not eating out, it also cuts the stress level down. We almost always stay somewhere that has a kitchen. With a large family, traveling requires a bit more planning and meals are a big part of that.
