{Giveaway} Food Travel Tips & Alamo Snacks N’ Hacks

Are you gearing up for the holiday travel season? Lucky for us we live near family; however, we still have to pack foods for a bumpy, country road drive to my parents house for the holidays and the in-laws too!

What’s a girl to do that likes to cook and bring foods?

It takes a little pre-planning, picking the right foods that travel well, and proper storage! Stay tuned for your chance to win some wonderful storage items and gift cards to make those delicious recipes! Thanks to Alamo for sponsoring this post and giveaway for the holiday travel season!

5 Holiday Food Travel Hacks (Tips)

1. I always save a cardboard box to put my food in when traveling, then I wrap a towel around the dish so that it protects the dish from moving and sliding.

2. Packing foods in mason jars can make for great food storage for liquids such as chili or soup. It also makes great storage for salads!

3. When transporting desserts, be sure to use proper carrying cases such as cake carriers and cupcake carriers. Then, secure them using tip #1 to avoid sliding.

4. Use flat surfaces, like the floorboard of the car. Do not put them in the seat or they will fly off the seat when driving.

5. Drive carefully, for instance if you have a husband like mine who thinks he is a NASCAR driver, it’s probably not a great idea to let him drive.
