It's that time of year again where we all pack into planes, trains, and automobiles to visit family and friends near and far. And if there's one thing we've learned: you can't rely on food in airports, train stations, and truck stops.
We sat down and compiled a list of some of our favorite snack food recipes perfect for holiday travel. Our criteria: easy to pack and carry around, not messy, and delicious, of course. From crackers to granola bars to healthy cookies, we looked for recipes that would also pack a little punch of protein to keep you going until the end of your journey. Safe travels to all!

I will vouch for the graham cracker recipe....sooo yummy. I like them best with raw sugar sprinkled on top (instead of cinnamon sugar).
What timing, I am taking a long train ride. Thank you!!
Planning or Christmas travel now, and have discovered that O'Hare doesn't have much going for it in terms of food options. Thanks for the snack suggestions!
