Cheese & Herb Muffins

This month’s Recipe ReDux theme is “Have Snacks. Will Travel.”

“Sometimes, the food is the best part of the journey. Be it business travel or a road trip for pleasure, share your favorite travel snacks/mini meals. Do you pack a special treat for the road to eat in the car or at rest stops? Or do you have a tried & true snack that makes it safely through airport security? Share your healthy recipe for road trip nourishment.”

Talk about good timing – my other half and I have just got back from a road trip to attend my high school reunion, what a fantastic day!  The trip takes about 6 hours, so to minimize stops and avoid the temptation of takeaways, we generally take snacks in the car with us.  We have also been meaning to defrost our fridge and freezer for a while so we’ve been running down our food stocks to the bare minimum (and stashing what’s left at my mom’s) – cheese muffins helped me finish up the last of our cheese and butter and made for a lovely nibble on the road.  What a satisfying feeling, a newly defrosted, sparkling clean fridge and freezer is!!  For our trip I packed: cheese & herb muffins with what was left of a tub of low fat, chunky cottage cheese and travel mugs of coffee.
