As I've shared with you folks before, I am and Educational Technician by day and a Target softlines team member by night. Cooking meals is something my husband does as a general rule...I work 50-60 hours a week, and just don't have time. BUT, when we are timesharing, life slows down, and cooking becomes part of the vacation. I know that some of you choose to eat out when you're on vacation, but there must be others of you in my boat! We only go to drive-to locations at this point in life...so I bring some groceries from home.
Here are some meals that we look forward to enjoying...would love to hear what you make on vacation!
We buy a large family pack of ground beef and make
1) Tacos
2) Spaghetti
3) Burgers
We often buy fixings for homemade pizza another night. Tonight is baked pork chops, corn on the cob, and stuffing. Another kid favorite is roast beef...I buy one of the McCormick bag and season packages, which makes it wicked easy to cook with potatoes. If I'm cutting it close on time, we'll pick up a rotisserie chicken, some rice, and salad fixings. This meal gets me another lunch, because I like shredded chicken on top of a green salad.
Lunches tend to be leftovers, salads, or things like soup/grilled cheese. Admittedly, nothing here is gourmet quality, but my kids eat it, and it's much cheaper than eating out. WIN.
I've never been good with a crock pot...many timeshares have them in the condos (Smuggs, for instance)...I should really do some recipe research before we go there this summer!
