July 16, 17 and 18... Road trip and camping food

So what a big weekend.... Where to start. I guess with breakfast on Saturday. We had an uber early start, I had a nectarine and greek yogurt with some ground flax seed for breakfast. Yum.

Lunch was on the road, and I wish I was smarter about my delicious decision, but I had a Harvey's burger. The Great Canadian burger, to be precise, that and its side of fries were soooo good. But sooooo naughty.

The car trip also involved some sour keys (chewy sour jellies shaped like keys), and when we finally arrived at our camp site in Davidson, Quebec, we were rather hungry and snacked on some awesome lime flavoured corn chips, never had those before, they were really good.

For dinner I cooked up a bean salad and some parma wrapped stuffed chicken breast, and that went down a treat! Also had some broccoli slaw which was pretty good.


Another early start on Sunday, I had a muffin and a banana for breakfast, and it got me through the first half of our white water rafting day. Scary stuff! They provided lunch, which was vegetable wraps, I ate lightly because I didn't want to barf off the raft in the afternoon, so by dinner time I was knackered and hungry (we all were). We snacked on a bag of doritos while enjoying a post rafting beverage (or three).

Our friends Heather and Mike who we went rafting with cooked us up an amazing dinner of yummy hamburgers with garlic and chive potatoes. Oh my god, so good. Originally they were going to cook us turkey burgers (a whole other story), the burgers were actually made but left behind! Whoops. Still these were awesome, included was boursin, avocado and home made caramelized onions. *drool*


This photo doesn't do it justice, the light was bad (and the weather was terrible!) plus I didn't want to waste time taking a picture, I wanted to be eating it!

Today I had strawberries, raspberries and blackberries with greek yogurt for breakfast. Also snacked on some marshmallows in the car that were meant for a campfire that we did not have. They were... ok I guess. Uber sweet.

We stopped off for lunch on the way back, I had a bbq chicken pizza with a caesar salad:


Couldn't finish it all, but it was pretty good! The dairy overload, however, took its toll and the last two hours of the drive were pretty difficult.

Dinner was light and lazy, Vietnamese. We ordered a Vietnamese salad, it was different from last time, it had lettuce instead of rice noodles... What?! Still, was tasty. Had a bbq pork roll too, was awesome.


And that's it. I might write up a story about our weekend, too tired right now. Peace out yall xxx

Whats this broccoli slaw you speak of?

Mez, broccoli slaw is the shizzle! We buy it pre cut, its raw broccoli, cabbage and carrot. I have made it with a seeded mustard vinegar dressing, with mayo, with yogurt, and with sour cream. I think sour cream is my fav. My good friend introduced me to it, she puts sultanas in there too. So good!

Broccoli slaw is delicious. I have served it to people who are shy about "unusual" foods. (since when is broccoli unusual??) I just tell them it's coleslaw. They don't know any better, we all enjoy it and I feel like I put one over on them. You can dress it up with all sorts of good stuff - raisins, dried cranberries, nuts or seeds.

Nuts and seeds in the slaw... amazing idea! Thanks!
