Next weekend (the 9th/10th) I’m going to be volunteering at a local festival: I’ll be outside from 9:30am-6:30pm both days. I plan to have a very small cooler, but will probably use most of the space in it for my water, so I’m interested in recommendations for snacks that I can bring with me that are easy to eat (i.e., not messy) and that will still be appealing after they’ve been in a backpack all day. They do not have to be healthy – in fact, it’s probably better if they aren’t.
Here’s what I can think of on my own:[ul][li]fruits & veggies[/li][li]cracker sandwiches (or crackers in general)[/ul][/li]What else?
I’m adding Pop Tarts, Fig Newtons, unsalted peanuts (sans raisins), and pretzles to my list. I’ll think about those yogurt things, but I kind of go through phases with yogurt and it’s not on my list at the moment. Good to keep in mind for the future, though. And I don’t believe I’ve ever had jerky of any kind (do Slim-Jims count?), but I think I’d rather not experiment at the festival. <grin>
If you wanna get creative, you can make your own jerky - there was an episode of Good Eats on that recently. Time intensive, but probably yummier (and healthier, too) than that SlimJim.
Oh lighten up. So I don’t cook, so what? The toast comment was made for comedic effect (though I really don’t make toast: I almost never eat it, so I gave away my toaster last week).
