Take the High Road (March 5 – March 11, 2017)

Some call it spring fever; some call it hitting the reset button. We crave the need to have a different view, from enjoying nature. Maybe it is a one-day road trip or an extended navigation. Springtime beckons and we are better off by responding to the call. Excitement builds with road trip baskets. One large basket can accommodate a family or individual personalized ones make others feel special. It’s time to pack their favorite sandwiches and crudité. If you prefer or need a more compact space, brown bags are great. Recently, I was at the Istanbul airport, waiting for a plane. A gentleman sitting across from me carefully took out a single hardboiled egg from a brown paper bag. Never have I ever witnessed anyone enjoy biting into a plain boiled egg than this man. He savored each bite as though it was caviar. His brown bag snack made him most feel special and that it is the goal. For an easy travel snack, make your own granola cups with fresh Greek style yogurt in the bottom of plastic cups. Then, top that with a kaleidoscope of fresh berries and crumbled granola bars. Don’t forget the spoons and napkins…to take to the high road of creative culinary adventure! © Kelly McBride Loft
