It’s baack! Now that I’ve completed the Elimination Diet Meal Plan I’m back to planning my own menus. And what better way to start than with a crazy travel week menu?!? This week’s menu has a mix of things my husband and son will be eating while and I’m gone and snack planning for myself. If you’re wondering how to set your family up for meal planning success even when you’re not home check out this week’s menu.
Travel & Meal Planning
My travel schedule is a bit hectic this week. On Monday I’m off to Vegas for a work conference. On Wednesday I’m making a pit stop at home, switching out my suitcase and heading back to the airport to travel to Nashville for my first big blog conference.
Even though I won’t really be home all week I’m still meal planning for my family. Why? So I can feel like they are taken care of while I’m away. I’m setting them up by making the shrimp & sausage gumbo recipe from the Fixate Cookbook for lunch and homemade chili for dinner on Sunday before I leave. Then they can enjoy the leftovers for dinner during the week while I’m gone. I do have an extra easy meal my husband or even son can make on the menu as well. I will also leave them with sandwich making supplies.
I’m also planning out snacks for myself on the menu. It can be hard when you’re traveling to stay on track with your eating. Hard, but not impossible. That’s why a little planning makes all the difference. I will bring along my apples with little single serve peanut butter containers and a bag of trail mix. Check out my current trail mix recipe below.
