What meals do you prepare in a studio?

I take our small 2 sandwich grill for grilled cheese sandwiches.

You can also make grilled cheese sandwiches in the toaster and they are yummy. You put the butter on one side of each slice of bread like normal, put it in the toaster, when done put the cheese in between like normal with the buttered side out and microwave for about 10 seconds. I'm telling you, you won't know you didn't cook it in the frying pan. I eat them like that at home now. Less fuss and no mess.

I make scrambled eggs in the glass coffee cups and make breakfast burritos out of them with many different toppings (you name it I've brought it). Those are good too.

I save those containers from Healthy Choice dinners and microwave tons of stuff. They pack real well as a lot of them nest real well for travel.

We eat lots of sandwiches and chips or soup (in the colder months). We love coming back after being worn out to relax and have a simple meal and watch TV.Anything in a can travels good and is easy to heat up.

I have brought salad fixings too. The only problem is you need to put it in a crush proof box or plastic container. And something waterproof for leakage in case it does get smashed. Like tomatoes.They beat the crap out of that stuff if you don't. Oh yeah, and no more "air" potato chip bags in checked luggage. It exploded. I usually go with Pringles. Or next time I will pop the bag and clip it to take up less space in my carryon. They smashed that good, last trip.

We sometimes bring the frozen concentrate juices & lemonades too and mix them up using the 20 oz bottles. It works out to 3 per can. At 2:50-3:00 each it adds up. We freeze them too and they stay cold longer for us since we take them to the parks.

I'm tempted to bring a griddle next time. Any meat traveling tips? I suppose wrapped well in a carryon would be ok. Any security issues do you suppose?

We are not the normal Disney Diners as we eat a lot in our room. We figure if we can save on the dining bill we can pay for another set of airline tickets. That how we justify 2 trips a year. The tradeoff works for us.

Happy "cooking".

As far as meat travelling tips goes.......my carryon is a Thermos insulated bag (about 16 x 12 x 10) that keeps stuff frozen for up to about 20 hours.
I usually precook some chicken (either cutlets, tenders, or deboned)and then freeze it for use in easy recipes; also, do the same with ground meat (for tacos, sloppy joes, etc) and usually a plastic container with homemade sauce and meatballs (frozen also). We have a 2 hour drive to the airport, arrive at airport about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before our flight, then a flight a little over 2 hours and everything is stilll partially frozen when we get there. I just put it in the fridge and let it thaw there and I've got at least three meals already partially made. However, I don't usually do this when we're in a studio (maybe the ground meat because tacos or sloppy joes are easy in the microwave) but, when we're in a 2 bedroom with the whole family (six of us) it's nice to have at least some meals almost ready to go.
