Save money on eating out while you're vacationing.

Share |Great tips to save money on your vacation.
Use the following tips to eat economically and save:


*Plan your Meals: Check out cheap restaurants, eateries and 

food stands on your trip route before you set out. Planning 
where to eat saves time and money.  


*Cook Small Meals: If your hostel has a kitchen, or if you are 
camping outside, cook your own meals to save money.  


*Carryover Dinners for Breakfast: While eating dinner, order bread or a dish that you can eat for breakfast. This works out cheaper than eating breakfast at a restaurant.  


*Carry Basic Food Items: (This is one that we do ALOT!)Always buy bread, jam, cheese and 
noodle soup packets at supermarkets. You can quickly put together your meals anywhere and save money. (Packing your family's favorite drinks will save you TONS of money!) 


*Eat at Cafes and Bakeries: Buy fresh foods from bakeries and 
cafes; this works out much cheaper than expensive dinners and 
lunches. Also snack on fresh fruit and bread at night to avoid 
heavy dinners. ( I love this tip, because the food is fresh, good, and it's kinda like getting off the beaten path.)

Grilled Peaches

Share |


WE LOVE PEACHES! Now you know the real reason I moved to the peach state, lol. I found a recipe for Grilled Peaches, and thought I would share. Hope you like it!


Taken from About.com:

Peaches are a natural for the grill, where quick cooking brings out juiciness and intensifies sweetness.

1. Start with peaches that are firm with just a little give when you give them a gentle squeeze with your whole hand.

2. Cut the peaches in half and pit them. You can grill entire peach halves or cut them into wedges. Peeling the peaches isn't necessary for the grill, but you certainly can peel them, if you like.

3. Brush cut side(s) of the peaches with a neutral-tasting oil, like grapeseed or canola.

4. Cook peaches over a medium fire on both sides until grill marks show and peaches are tender but not falling apart.

Serve grilled peaches plain or in salads. Or turn them into delicious desserts by pairing grilled peaches with cool yogurt, whipped cream, or with scoops of ice cream.
