We left for Charlotte bright and early this morning, and by bright an early I mean 8am. One of the voyagers isn’t exactly an early riser… I’ll let you guess who that might be 😉
For breakfast, I cooked us up some jumbo eggin sandwiches. These eggins consisted of:
- 7 egg whites
- 1 egg
- Some franks red hot, S&P, Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 linked Jennie O Hot Turkey sausage (already cooked)
This mix made 3 jumbo eggins (I used a jumbo muffin tin), and I cooked them in at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes.
Sandwiched each eggin between a Thomas’ Multi-Grain English muffin. I added ketchup to mine, and more Frank’s to Jarrod’s.
Road shot:
For a midmorning snack I had a Dannon blueberry Greek yogurt with some Peanut Butter Puffins. It took a lot of skill to eat this while driving. Lucky for me, my dad is a NASCAR fan so amazing maneuverability skills just run in the family 🙂
For lunch, I packed us some grilled chicken breast sandwiches, with Trader Joe’s Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus, Spinach, Tomato, and Onion and Pepperidge Farm 7 grain deli flats.
I also snacked on some sliced green pepper, baby carrots, grapes, and a tootsie pop for good measure.
I love this diet iced tea:
It’s got really good flavor and none of that artificial sweetener funk taste to it.
Delicious chocolates jarrod brought back from belgium:
This one makes me laugh:
Being the budget travelista I am, I booked our hotel in Charlotte on Priceline. We ended up with the Aloft hotel at Epicenter for only $50 a night!!! The hotel room market price is $180+. Boo.Ya.
Check out our swanky digs:

- Aladdins whole wheat pitas
- Pepperidge Farms 7 grain deli flats
- 4 sliced roma tomatoes
- 1 sliced red onion
- 1 bag spinach
- 2 pounds grilled chicken
- 1 piece of leftover Gionino’s pizza
- 10 random protein/granola bars
- 1 chocolate bar

Normally I would say that’s a ridiculous amount of food, but I’ve seen the 2 of you eat.
Your room is really sweet!

Happy I finally posted something?! PS I’m trying oats again tomorrow morning, a little different, i’ll let you know how it goes…maybe send you a picture lol
Actually, when I was chopping up the onion I thought about the GIANT softball size onion we brought with us to Boston 🙂 Haha… I even double-bagged it, but the whole cooler still reeks of onion… not that I’m complaining. 🙂
LOL at the food list, but hey, at least you’re prepared.
Haha… yes, apparently I travel with enough food to feed and army… Just in case I should happen across a starving army 🙂
