Just a family of six trying to eat healthier, cleaner, more delicious foods, all while living in the real world.

Traveling
Since my girls have Spring Break, we decided to drive to Oklahoma today so we could visit some family. It's about a four hour drive (with no stops), but we take an extra hour for the kids to eat and such.
For breakfast we had eggs. Thanks to Tom for cooking!
Then I packed a cooler with snacks. Well, at least, I wanted to pack a cooler with snacks. Given that I knew we'd be traveling, I skipped the grocery store this week, so we had very little on hand.
So I ended up packing:
2 cans of coconut milk (why? I don't know. It just seemed so... Primally.)
1 bag of celery
1 bag cheese cubes
1 sm bag of dark chocolate chips
1 lg bag of mixed nuts
Yeahhh... Next time I should go grocery shopping before taking a trip. Lesson learned.
For lunch we stopped at Two Brother BBQ and had smoked turkey, pork, and brisket. We ordered the green beans (instead of fries or potato salad), but didn't eat many since they were obviously canned. Well, the meat was good!
For dinner we went out with my grandparents to a steak house of sorts. The kids had hamburgers in a lettuce wrap. Tom and I had steak (Tom a T-bone and I had a sirloin).
But now we're hungry again, so Tom went to Walmart and bought some Organic milk for the baby. And a vegetable tray and a rotisserie chicken for us to munch on.
So I'd like some cake... which always seems to happen when I travel. Maybe it's the stress of it? Well, I guess I'll have to just be content with my water. Mmmm.
