Pre-made Vacation Meal Ideas from Costco
Costco haul! Pre-cooked meal ideas to take on vacation
We all know it’s ideal to cook food from scratch, pack it neatly in a cooler and provide amazing meals for your family when you go on vacation. I even wrote a post on the meals I have made in the past to take on the road so you won’t have to eat out. (check it out here). However, sometimes reality isn’t ideal. A quick road trip or vacation when you don’t have a day to prep food can make it impossible to bring healthy meals. Also, we go on a lot of trips to the desert or the mountains where there aren’t any restaurants to even choose healthy options. I mean, there aren’t restaurants at all! Just gas stations with a mini-fast food joint inside. So, in these circumstances, bringing your pre-cooked meals from Costco can be a LIFESAVER! I’ve got dinner ideas, breakfast, lunch and snacks!
