Using the Macro: Packing List

We went camping over Memorial Day weekend.  Getting everything together for a camping a trip is always an ordeal.  Everyone's clothes and toiletries need to be gathered plus the tents, sleeping bags, camp chairs, flashlights, lanterns,...  Getting the food together for a camping trip is no small feat either, and I realized that my macro would be useful for planning camping food.

Freezer Meals and Travel

Freezer meals make my day to day life much easier, but they are also very useful for travel when we drive and stay in a rented condo or house.  Now I'm not advocating bringing all your meals with you when you travel.  Trying new foods and discovering the local specialties is one of my favorite things about traveling.  For New Years we spent five days in New Orleans with my in-laws.  We definitely wanted to do some eating out because it's New Orleans!  However, eating out three meals a day for five days gets pretty expensive.  Plus we have little kids, which makes eating out not exactly an relaxing, easy experience.
