Day 33 – What Do We Eat?

Often when people ask us about our travels they wonder what food we eat along the way. Our years of backpacking, and canoeing 50 miler trips taught us that it is good to have meals you look forward to eating at the end of your travels. We have carried that over to our driving trips as well.

For breakfast, we usually have something quick. Scrambled eggs, egg muffins, or breakfast burritos are typical fare. If we are at a place for a more leisurely breakfast, we might have pancakes, French toast, an omelet, or hashbrowns and sausage. Of course the occasional cinnamon roll from a local bakery was a nice change. 


This trip we added a French press to make our coffee each day and that worked out really well.







I have to ask, do you like your pancakes or French toast with or without peanut butter?








Our lunches are also typically fast so we can get back on the road. So a salad or sandwich is usual. Sometimes, if the weather is cool or wet, a grilled ham and cheese sandwich or soup hit the spot.



For dinner we often have meals like hamburger or chicken helper. Another meal we enjoy is a Boboli pizza or mini English muffin pizzas. Of course, tacos and que se dillas are evening meals that we enjoy along the way.



 In Tuktoyaktuk we bought some whitefish from a local fisherman. You can’t get much fresher fish than caught in the morning and cooked that night.





After a long or harrowing drive, or just because an adult beverage goes down well.



We did also eat out sometimes. A few places that we liked best were Alistines in Inuvik, the Westminster Tavern in Dawson City, and the 49th State Brewery in Healy. However, the camper's fridge is good sized. We were able to bring most of the meat products we would need, so we mainly just had to buy fresh produce and bread products during the trip. Thank goodness for that because chicken in some places was about $20 per pound! 

We're looking forward to the typical food prices at home. Even with the inflation of the past couple years, our groceries will cost less.
