Are you traveling over the holidays? Well here is a few meal ideas when taking a not-so convenient long non-catered flight.<\/p>\n

Exert<\/strong> from The Kitchn<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Taking a jet plane to faraway places? Nourishment often collapses as you step onto the jet bridge; food\u00a0on board\u00a0is expensive and rarely worth eating, and airports offer their own torturous temptations of buttery Auntie Anne’s pretzels and overpriced beer. But a day spent in Air World doesn’t have to be an undernourished one. The New York Times offered some tips today for packing your own picnic for plane travel, and inspired by their ideas, here are a few specific recipes that will make it through security and onto the plane with you.<\/p>\n

This article gathered tips and ideas from chefs on eating well while traveling. One of the more interesting tips suggested\u00a0freezing your food<\/b>\u00a0before travel, so that it thaws out cold and fresh just as you’re ready to eat. This is especially useful for yogurt (which should be packed in a TSA-friendly size and in a quart bag). One chef even carries shrimp through this way. (Ooh la la \u2014 bet his fellow passengers are jealous!)<\/p>\n

Other ideas included\u00a0warming pasta with hot water<\/strong>\u00a0from the flight attendants, and packing\u00a0simple meals<\/strong>\u00a0like sandwiches or grain salads.<\/p>\n

Here are a few recipes from our own archives that line up with these tips \u2014 sandwiches, pasta, grain salads, and other meals that will nourish and fill you up \u2014 all without running afoul of TSA or the airlines.<\/p>\n

And don’t forget:\u00a0drinking lots and lots of water<\/strong>\u00a0is the primary key to feeling well during air travel. Those airplanes are so dry, and our systems get bloated and wacked out during travel. Drinking plenty of water makes a substantial difference.<\/p>\n
