Summer, when kids run wild and reckless with abandon. This month on the Eat Well, Spend Less series we’re looking at all the ins and outs of summer eating, be it cookouts, camping, during road trips, while on vacation, or just while lounging at home. I’m sharing a few of my lunchtime tips for all sorts of summer situations.

The Road Trip Lunch<\/h2>\n

<\/font>
\nThe classic road trip: driving hours across the country in a vehicle, the kids crammed in the backseat, books and screens stuffed in pillowcases in between their bodies. A small, high-pitched whine comes over the never-too-high seat barrier, making its way to your ears for the 57th time in the last two hours, “Are we there yet?”, “How much farther?”

At some point on this journey, likely multiple points, you’ll have to stop and eat, no matter how many snacks you stuff in the box between the front and back seat. If you are going long distances or just trying to avoid fast food stops, you’ll likely need to plan ahead for major meals. <\/p>\n
