Okay, I'll be traveling to the state of Michigan (not the school) to tailgate at a football game next Friday nite (if you know Michigan schools, you know by my chosen colors where I'm going!)
The REAL reason for going up there is that when my dad died 2 years ago, he donated his remains to the university and his ashes are ready for pick up. We're going to complete his final wishes next weekend too. Dad would have approved of adding a football game to the weekend
Did I say I'll be TRAVELING? 500 miles away from my kitchen.
I don't do too many sweet IP packs, sweet makes me hungrier. I prefer the savory packets. I'm also not a fan of most packets by themselves & usually doctor them (potato/zucchini pancakes, soups with veggie purees, oatmeal/zuccini pancakes).
So, what can I do ahead-of-time for my weekend away and for tailgate food?
Do Potato muffins keep? Potato pancakes reheated in tinfoil on a grill? (I've made them & cut them like a quesadilla before)
I know I can do restricteds but I'm looking for what will work with the non-restricteds too. The RTDs are too sweet for me. I'm okay with planning my veggies for take-along, its the packet cooking/keeping/reheating I'm wondering about. What tastes good NOT reheated?
What can I cook with IP packs/veggies that will keep & re-heat well?
I know I can eat meat and veggies but that is just one meal.
At home I usually have my blender & microwave but won't necessarily have that stuff on the road (still trying to figure out accommodations). Won't necessarily be able to rely on my soup with veggie puree or my spinach smoothies (altho I'm considering just pureeing the spinach ahead-of-time)
It is not too soon to plan ahead to stay 100% OP
