It's sort of known on the ghost hunt road trips that I'm going to be the mama of the team. I pack drinks, food, have a 3-ring binder with printouts of maps, reservation information, what to do while in that town, even sanitary hand wash and paper towels.
So, what do I pack for the team when we hit the road? Something that not only transports well, but that allows us to find a nice picnic spot in a ghost town, an abandoned building, a state park, spread out and have a nice little picnic.
I'm known for my buffalo wraps:
Cut a plate-sized square of tin foil. Take a paper towel and dampen it, ring it out, so it's not dripping, but damp. Lay it on the tin foil. Put down a whole wheat tortilla. Now, diced lettuce and shredded carrot. Sprinkle with buffalo sauce and little dots of ranch dressing. Put down a layer of sliced turkey. Place a couple slices of pepper jack cheese. Roll it up and then wrap the damp paper towel and tin foil around it. The paper towel helps to keep the tortilla moist and not cracking.
I bring Sun Chips and my dirty chocolate chip cookies:
2 1/2 c. flour, 3/4 c. white sugar, 1 c. brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 c. margarine, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt, grated Hershey's candy bar, 1 bag milk chocolate chips.
Mix the sugars, vanilla, margarine, eggs, and shaved chocolate in mixer. Add the powdery ingredients. Stir in chips. Put in large balls of like 2 Tablespoon size and then cook 350 x 10 minutes 45 seconds to 11 minutes. You want them golden on the edges, but still looking a bit soft like they're undercooked. Pull out and let sit a few minutes. Store these with a slice of white bread, it keeps them super soft.
