We are also going to my in-laws for a week. I'm going to take raw milk, kefir, and raw butter with me, but that's all.

I am staying at my grandfather's with some other family members soon and he knows how picky I am so he is taking me grocery shopping when I get there I am hoping he has some basic things like olive oil in his cupboard because he is single and basically lives off milk products, potato salad, and Wheetabix. I offered to cook for everyone and I believe there is a Whole Foods and Trader Joes in the area so I am hoping that works out.

Can you offer to make a roast chicken or beef? You can eat that meat over a couple of days to help get you through. I'd also see if you can bring your own eggs, if you have pastured eggs. Maybe bring some crispy nuts with you for healthy snacking?

Good luck! My inlaws live on fast food. ugh. And, the nearest Whole Foods is an hour away and there's no Trader Joe's in the state. Even before I went TF, I struggled with eating there!

If you have kids, I'd pack most of their snacks and bring them with us. And bring plenty of good fats and some meat to 'share' to lessen their financial burden from having to feed company. Yeah.

There's a good roast beef and roast chicken recipe on my sample menu mailer that's really easy to do, if you don't know how to do those. Click the link in my sig and scroll down, and you'll see the sample mailer link. Click on it and scroll down to the recipes.

I always cave when I'm traveling after sternly telling myself I'm not going to. I'm such a sucker for some mainstream foods.:

So, I'll be watching this thread...
