Traveling Eats
Traveling certainly has a way of switching up my meals, although I found my self eating some familiar dishes during my trip back to Columbus. I thought today would be a fun time to link up with Jenn and get in on her Wednesday tradition!
Yesterday was quite busy, waking up at the hotel, and eating a quick breakfast before spending the day working at a career fair.
I knew my breakfast would need to carry me through a busy day so I started off with Greek yogurt, fruit, and granola. I also ended up having half a piece of toast and a few bites of breakfast potatoes but they didn’t make it into the photo.
I was on my feet all morning so lunch was a welcomed break. There was a Chipotle right across the street from the career fair so I opted for a vegetarian burrito bowl. I will never tire of this lunch.
I snacked on an orange in the afternoon but I was still hungry when dinner time rolled around. By this point I was at the airport, at the only restaurant that was in the terminal. To say there vegetarian options were limited would be an understatement. They actually didn’t have anything vegetarian on the menu.
I ended up getting a chicken salad without the chicken. This was the kind of salad that people eat because it’s called a salad but is really just cleverly disguised cheese and nachos. This was far from healthy but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I ate most of this and will admit that it was quite delicious for airport food. I guess you win some, you lose some.
I’m certainly ready to get back into the kitchen this week! Now it’s a matter of deciding where to begin experimenting!
Does traveling switch up your eating?
Personally, this is one of the hardest things about traveling. Since I have a sensitive tummy, I really have to tune in to what I’m eating. It’s so easy to “fall off track” when you’re not at home, making your own meals or going out to restaurants where you know the food.
Salads are my go-to when I’m away from home ๐
My little town (Hallelujah! You would think a college town like us in Knoxville, TN would get one sooner) finally got a few Chipotle! I haven’t tried the veggie burrito bowl yet, but that look so good! Our family is sorta a weekdays vegetarians, so as pathetic as it sound, we eat BAD when traveling! Packing food to a road trip/ airplane trip just seem too sad. LOL. That’s definitely one thing we need to work on!
That salad cracks me up, its so funny how restaurants call that a SALAD! I ordered something similar once but told them to 86 the chips and cheese, it looked so sad with only lettuce and a few piece of tomatoes LOL.
Oh my goodness you’re going to love having a Chipotle close by! I’m obsessed! I even watched a Chipotle documentary last night, on Netflix, and now I love them even more ๐
