Works for Me Wednesday- PB&J

Please forgive the over-Instagrammed photo...I got carried away and lost the original!

I'm linking up with Kristen's Works for Me Wednesday to talk about what works for me when I travel.  When Cara, Jennifer and I went to Canada in the summer of 2012 we made every effort to keep costs as low as possible. One of the ways we did that was by eating sandwiches for lunch almost every day.  By packing things for breakfasts and lunches we were able to splurge on dinners and still keep costs down. We splurged on things like lobster, by the way!

Our Waitress wasn't the best photographer but the food was awesome!

We stuck to peanut butter and jelly most days because we didn't have to worry about keeping lunch meat and cheese cold.  As uninteresting as a good ol' fashion PB&J might sound, it's amazing how your surroundings can influence the taste of something.  We would eat lunch on the beach each day and our PB&J, chips, fruit, and water might as well have been a gourmet meal for as much as we enjoyed ourselves.  Keeping it simple...it works for me!
