What about taking a road trip? But you’re young and on a tight budget? Doesn’t stop you from going? But you’re smart enough to ask Chef Marian about Traveling Food!
There’s so many options it would blow your mind. But if I were you I would cook fresh daily… make enough for just a couple of meals…. so you don’t have to store and port it… and feel bad if you get in the mood to buy a taco or hamburger instead of eating what you’ve got!
Here’s one suggestion:
It’s a burger. A TUNA Burger. Take a can of tuna. Use a fork and chop it up into a bowl. Chop scallions or onion. Add. Garlic salt and pepper it… just a sprinkling. Panko bread crumbs. Add and egg. CLEAN HANDS. Mix. Fry in on your heat plate, in olive oil or a combo of grapeseed and olive oil. Buy bread and you’ve got a sammich!
Background stuff: E Z breezy sides include pickles and cucumbers. Cucumbers are mirin vinegar, or regular vinegar, a sprinkle of salt, a sprinkle of sugar. Lots of flavor and a great easy side dish.
Don’t forget to bring a peeler on your trip!
Worth investing in an acrylic one….
What does EVERY growing boy need? Every person on the planet crave? FRENCH FRIES! And it’s so easy. This amount is ONE POTATO. Yep. Cheap and easy. I cut up an onion and threw that in too.
And guess what? Add to that eggs, and you’ve got breakfast!
Now there are variations…. if you get bored. Grated Parmesan Cheese is yum. Any cheese melted is yum. Buy a can of chili. Make your own chili cheese fries.
I mean, you’re on vacation right? lol
Just in case you missed it…. the enticing look and flavors, here’s the tuna burger again!
And you’re getting veggies with the scallions (green onions). Don’t forget….. it’s better to get organic katsup cause it doesn’t have hydrogenated oil in it. I hate to tell you but regular katsup is a nightmare for your body.
Let’s see…. what else ….
Well, if you can do a tuna burger, that means you can do a burger with beef, turkey, veal, ground chicken…. just about anything. It’s cheap and good.
And if you really want to get crazy, buy some cheese (i like gargonzola), make a thumbprint in the middle, add the cheese and cover it with more meat.
Oh and one more thing about burgers…. cheese keeps them moist…. but so does an ice cube. That’s right. An ice cube in the middle. It’s a good thing! lol
I will keep thinking about ‘fast, easy food’ you can make on the road without having to just eat canned vegetables. I’m sure it would be much better, and totally fun to hit the farmer’s markets, and pick what you want to eat that night….. You can say to some random girl…. ‘How would I cook this’? Maybe she’ll invite you over for dinner! lol
Maybe my readers have some suggestions for you too!
Four more words…. Costco and Health Bars.
Be back at ya again here…. in a couple of days!
Happy Eating,
Chef Marian
