insulated lunch bag directions image
waterbaby4
In the summertime I frequently will spend a day at a lake, river, hiking or on a long drive (2+ hours) to the beach etc. I am looking for good healthy meal ideas for things I can pack or make ahead rather than eating out every weekend. I am getting sick of sandwhiches every single trip for lunch and dinner. Also any good snack ideas?

Ham and Cheese Biscuit Roll ups
Ingredients:
2 cans of biscuits ($.33 each)
Sandwich ham (1 slice per two biscuits - wafer sliced ham, 1 pkg. is $.59)
Shredded cheese (1/2 bag would be generous - $1.00)
Directions:
Open the tube of biscuits. Take two at a time and roll them out fairly thin on a cookie sheet. (No need for extra flour.) Place a slice of ham in the center and add some shredded cheese. Roll up the biscuit and dip the rolled biscuit in the shredded cheese. Place the roll cheese side up and bake until browned slightly, about 10 to 12 minutes. I used an insulated cookie sheet, so I didn't have to worry about the bottoms burning. Serve alone or with a side of deli or regular mustard.
2 cans of biscuits make 10 roll ups (10 biscuits per can). Adjust according to the size of your family. A smaller version of this could also be used for appetizers using only one biscuit per roll up.
You can also use this idea with other fillings, such as:
Chicken and broccoli with Swiss cheese
Hot dogs or polish sausages and sliced cheese (pigs in a blanket)
Ground beef and spaghetti sauce with mozzarella cheese sprinkled with parmesan cheese & garlic powder (rolled calzones)
Corned beef, roast beef or ground beef, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese
Roast beef, smoked cheese and deli mustard
Scrambled eggs and cheese
The possibilities are endless. Also consider filling them with butter and rolling them in cinnamon sugar for a simple treat in the morning with coffee or a snack for the kids.
