- I've planned ahead and booked a hotel that serves a deluxe continental breakfast free of charge, so this will cover breakfasts. I also made sure to get a suite that has a microwave and a small refrigerator. If you happen to be staying somewhere that doesn't have a continental breakfast, be sure to pack muffins, cereal, etc. Also, if you own an electric griddle, you can bring along pancake mix and eggs to save money on breakfast.
- For lunches we will be packing sandwich fixings (pb&j, deli meat & cheese, etc.), fruit, and some snacks (homemade cookies, chips from Sam's Club, etc.). We've got an over-sized, insulated lunchbox for packing lunches while we are out and about seeing the sights.
- As for suppers, we are budgeting $40/day for suppers and I'm already searching out kid-friendly, inexpensive restaurants on the Internet around the different attractions that we will be visiting.
As a busy wife, small business owner, and mother of 4 small children, I develop weekly menus to help keep myself on track. I started this blog as a way to share these menus (and some of my favorite recipes) with other busy cooks. Since my first post it has evolved into a discussion of not only food but other aspects of life. Check out my tips, recipes, and, of course, my weekly menus. I hope they are a help as you manage your own home (and life).
