5 Foods That Are Easy To Travel With

November 17, 2016

Please Share!

With the holiday season approaching and Thanksgiving NEXT week, I thought I would put together a fun post of 5 foods that are easy to travel with.

5 Foods That Are Easy To Travel With

I remember traveling one year to my sister’s house. I was supposed to bring a dish/food. I brought a pasta salad but did not put the lid on it tightly. Well, I went around a corner and suddenly I smelled pasta salad in the car. Ya, needless to say, that pasta salad did NOT make it to the party, sigh. That was a huge mess and I was so mad at myself!

There ARE ways to avoid those kinds of messes/situations, though. Like of course, putting the lids tightly on your dishes, but there are also travel-friendly foods too! Check them out below.

5 Foods That Are Easy To Travel With

1. Pot Pies. These are easy to travel with because the contents of the food are contained inside the pies. These are great for any time of the year and you can make them any way you like.

2. Fried Chicken. Fried chicken or bbq chicken travels well in coolers or containers. Nothing pouring out of them! My kind of meal, we love chicken!

3. Tiny Sandwiches. Everyone I know LOVES finger foods and tiny sandwiches is no different. They travel well and they taste so good however you make them!

4. Homemade Burritos. These can be made any way you like and they don’t get messy when you travel with them in a container. I have traveled with these before and everything stayed put! Plus, they were SO dang good!!

5. Green Salad. Green salads travel really well when kept in a container with a secure lid. Plus, if it slides around in the back seat, it will mix itself up! So, by the time you get to where you were going your salad will be all mixed up and ready to eat ๐Ÿ™‚

    I dont think I would be comfortable traveling with some of the foods listed. Most of the time we travel with light foods and if we need a meal, we stop to get a bite to eat in a diner or restaurant.

    What I bring depends on the party and time of year. Fresh fruit and a veggie tray seems to be my go to year round.

    I’ve never had a problem traveling with food. As long as you plan ahead on how to pack it up, it always works out. I think the easiest is baked goods that are baked in something that already has a lid though.

    Great suggestions. I once traveled with a pie in my passenger seat, took a turn too sharp and the pie flipped meringue side up and slide down the length of my window and door, it was a mess and I also pulled over to have a good cry.

    I like bringing casseroles and sometimes if I have a certain salad, I will bring the ingredients and put them together at my destination with the dressing.

    I really try to have us not eat in the car, because everything is messy with kids, but we do bring plenty of dishes along with us to gatherings, so less spills are appreciated.

    When I travel with food I like to put the food in a separate leak proof box (like a cooler) just to be on the safe side.

    I usually don’t have a problem with cold foods thanks to my pyrex bowls with lids. What I do have a problem with is keeping hot foods hot to travel with.

    Potato salad usually travels well if you have it kept in an insulated container. My favorite things to bring is desserts, though.

    I don’t really agree with a few of these-like burritos? pot pies? fried chicken? I think they could be a little messy. At least with my traveling buddies.
