Trippin' In Style: Food for Long Drives

Long drives can be so...well... looong unless you bring a lot of fun things to do and lots of yummy food. Well, that's what I intend to do for my trip to Toronto tomorrow! I am traveling with my husband and his mom for a fun weekend in Canada. We've got a lot of shopping to do for our second wedding in Toronto (we already had one in Ohio and we just can't get enough!) and I'll have plenty to report on while I'm there. Back to business...so you know how I like things done fast...well today is no different. I was actually thinking of taking PB&Js along for the ride, but it started to sound a bit boring. Then my mother-in-law suggested making P&BJs in a tortilla with some walnuts and raisins! Now, we're talking! Fast, easy and yummy. When I went out to buy peanut butter, I saw something called Soy Nut Butter. Ooo, something I haven't tried before! So, of course, I bought some. Here is it pictured below. It looks just like peanut butter, but many people are allergic to it and it's so overdone! I put a twist on the original ideas and put soy nut butter on a whole grain tortilla, then I spread some banana instead of jam (oh the creative juices are flowin'!), then I cut up some apples and sprinkled them over the banana spread and topped it off with raisins. Soy Good Roll-Ups 4 Tortillas soy nut butter (or peanut butter) to taste 1 banana 1 apple, diced into tiny pieces handful of raisins Once all the ingredients are in the tortilla, here is how you roll it up: I figured a graphical representation would be more food for thought than my going on and on about how to roll the darn thing! As you can see above, I'm not stopping here. I bought some Tazo teas, cliff bars, fruit and my roll ups. This should be a delicious and healthy way to cross the border into dangerous and foreign lands. (I'm trying to spice up the trip!) Anyhow, wish me luck and don't think I've forgotten about my readers! I'll have some tasty Indian recipes for you while I'm in Toronto...my Momma's homemade Indian food! Mmmm...it's gonna make you want to move in with her! She has plenty of space and loves to teach people to cook...hmm sounds familiar... it's all in my genes, I just can't help it! :)
