jebbypalThe only good thing about how busy I was this past week and weekend is I haven't had time to be anxious about the vacation trip. I've been pretty good about not being overly anxious in the past, but then, I've either been working (and so super careful) or on a car trip with some modicum of "well, I can always go shopping".
Not so this time. Granted, I'll be on my own Wed and almost all of thursday. However, friday and saturday they've planned lots and lots of sightseeing, with one of the instructions "eat a big breakfast because there's no food where we're going".
So yeah, I'll be the weird one with a backpack of food and bottle of water wherever we leave the vehicle just in case. Especially as this seems like it will be lots and lots of walking/hiking so plenty of time for my body to have an inconvenient hypoglycemia attack if I go unprepared.
So, I've got 6 zucchini bread doughnuts, that perhaps I'll have the will power to actually designate them as breakfast food unless other things look more promising. And I'm making a different kind of granola bar that won't be yogurt based so less chance of gas attacks (yay me of absolutely not lactose tolerance).
For those following along at home, here's the granola bar recipe this time around.cinco, this should definitely be gluten-free if you want to give it a whirl.
I've done this once before and it was very yummy, but then I was low on maple syrup so I used half honey and the bars didn't stay together very well. Fingers crossed that will be less of a problem this time. The mix tasted yummy anyways.
Okay, still need to make my hamburger buns, attack the clean laundry pile that may grow sentience in order to pack, and all that schnaz. Methinks the actual "cleaning" may be left to the day I return because I fail at adulthood.
ETA - \0/ bars stayed cohesive much better this time around. Though methinks that maybe lower cooking temp or time might be helpful too.
