Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Okay, perhaps I can post this one without concern of starting a big brawl. I'm about to embark on a road trip through some of the most beautiful territory in the lower 48. Problem is, there isn't a raw kitchen in my Volvo wagon (yeah, it's a turbo, DUH). Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can pull this off? We're going to leave Seattle and hit Butte MT, then turn South into Western Wyoming, Eastern Utah, Oklahoma, Kansas, um... Texas, and... Oklahom-- no I said that alreadNew Orleans or something... and up to our final destination, Nashville, Tennessee! Yee HAW! What would y'all suggest I bring as far as foods and equipment for the motel rooms or campsites? Any and all advice is welcome. And if you wanna fight about it, bring it on!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 How do you normally eat? This makes a huge difference in how you would road trip! I tend to eat blended dressings and juices and salads. Because of this, when I go on road trips I tend to bring my blender and my juicer for using when I have access to electricity. I also dehydrate seasoned seeds for munchies in the car. Have a wonderful wonderful trip! -Heather/starrrie " m r . b l a n k e n s h i p " <stereofield wrote: Okay, perhaps I can post this one without concern of starting a big brawl.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 You can take your AC powered appliances with you and use them in the car if you get a power inverter (see http://www.dcacpowerinverters.com/ for an example). Just stock up on dry foods that will keep in the car, and buy fresh fruits and vegetables from stores or roadside stands. A little pre- planning goes a long way. Research ahead into what is available in the vicinity of your route.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 aqkasha organic in the lovely wood river valley in idaho has an authentic raw foods cafe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 What is the nearest town? Is there camping near by? And, when was the last time you were there? As, I'm wondering if the cafe is still there? And if so, then maybe it would be a great place for a camp out for myself and my husband, as it wouldn't be that far from Yakima.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Going through those areas might be challenge to find organic produce if that's your thing. you can look ahead online for food resources. depending on your tastes, you may want to bring a bunch of your own bulk foods( i.e. nuts, seeds, superfoods that can survive if not refridgerated) from your own familiar area Sprouting is easy to do while traveling in your car, and can provide you with fresh goodness that you may appreciate especially much if only a walmart is around for groceries. think about what foods you'll have readily available to you, and then think about what you can do with them and figure out gadgets from there. note from experience- try not to take fragile foods that are supposed to be refridgerated at all times, like hempseeds. Stomach issues on the road are not the most pleaseant experiences... have a great trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 keeping leafy greens on the road is pretty easy just keep their stems in a container of water as you would when rooting a house plant cutting for short stemmed plants like lettuce and celery (altho celery's pretty tough) i keep the butts in an inch of water it sometimes helps to trim of the end of the stems to provided fresh channels for the plant to drink also, in dry or windy situation, it helps to put a loose bag over the foliage i lived without refrigeration for about 10 years and have spent several winters in hawaii, living in vehicles and i just finished a road trip to panama and kept leafy greens in good condition along the way i find it easy to eat raw on the road since i've learned to enjoy eating one food at a time (most of the time no recipes, salads, etc. fruit's really easy and it works for veggies also just eat a head of lettuce sometime, no meal planning, no slicing, no dicing, no mess, no fuss, no dishes to clean, in fact no dishes at all !!!... happy trails norm )~ ...... raw food, simply wonderful .....
