good food tastes even better in the mountains 🌲☕️ good food tastes even better in the mountains 🌲☕️ (ad)

here’s what i packed & ate at the cabin for a weekend:

🧇 breakfast- waffles & fruit
•a simple meal, you could either bring up frozen waffles (i brought protein waffles) or make them your own. i topped mine with maple syrup & @redbarncreameryofficial butter ofc!!! 🧈 for fruit i did bananas 🍌

🥪 lunch- hawaiian roll sliders & salad
•if you haven’t had these- they’re so good! you can add whatever you want to your sliders. i did ham, cheese, mayo, mustard, and some had pepperoni. then you heat up your butter, add herbs, pour it over the top of the buns & pop it in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes for a mild crunch. paired with a caesar salad mix

🥣 dinner- tomato soup & grilled cheese
•a classic I’ll never get sick of- so warm & cozy. i changed it up by using a french baguette & making tiny grilled cheese toasties. cooked with buttaaaa 🧈

☕️ dessert- hot cocoa (not from a packet! melted chocolate, then heated & frothed the milk for a rich drink!)

what food do you like to make on a cabin weekend?? 👇🏼
