This July I am going on two separate week-long trips that are back-to-back. I am super excited! First is a trip to Canada with Paul’s family and the second trip is my annual family vacation in South Carolina. Two very different trips with a tight schedule. I am only back in the Midwest for one day and I am not even coming home to Iowa.  I am transferring cars at a rendezvous point in Illinois and going to my parent’s house in Wisconsin to fly out with them for our family vacation. I will need to pack smart, keeping things in mind for both trips; I will barely have time to do laundry and re-pack. What a rough life I lead.

Don’t worry, even though I will be away from my computer, I have been cooking up a storm and preparing yummy recipes to schedule just for you while I am away so that you won’t miss out on the deliciousness. I may not be able to answer emails or be on my social media networks during my time in Canada, but I will do my best to connect with y’all (as my cousins from the South say) while I am in  South Carolina, lounging on the beach and catching up on my summer reading. Like I said, it’s a rough life.

Back to packing smart. I haven’t gotten to pack my clothes yet, but I have already prepared some food for my trips. Of course, you know me, I think of food first. I guess that’s why I am a food blogger.

We are flying for both trips, so my food has to be portable, non-perishable, finger food, packed with protein and healthy fats to keep me satisfied. Something that will prevent me from getting hangry, in case I can’t access food when needed.

What fits this bill? Why good old fashioned nuts, of course!

There is a reason why they used to hand you a tiny bag of nuts on a flight. But, I have always found the airline’s tiny bag of peanuts to be a tease. Come on, I always want more than 5 little peanuts! Plus they are plain and boring.

So let’s get exciting by making our own peanuts and fill up a large bag so that we can snack away. These mixed nuts with thyme and rosemary are perfect. They are salty, herb-y, slightly spicy, nutty, crunchy, and filling.

I used a mix of peanuts and pecans, partially because they both contain a lot of protein and because they’re tasty. You can use whatever kind of nuts float your boat for this recipe.

Other great airplane travel food is a bag of dried fruit or Broccoli and cheddar-bacon-quinoa bites for the first part of your trip, and Almond Joy Raw Energy Bites.

Whether you are traveling by plane, train, or automobile this summer, or you just need a salty snack, you must make these mixed nuts with thyme and rosemary. They are addicting!
