3 Great Portable Snacks for Moving Day

beltman8As moving day approaches, it’s always a good idea to start planning your meals. Once you have your kitchen in boxes, you will have fewer options available. If you do not want to spend a ton of money on food during your moving – whether it’s a day or a week – planning snacks and meals will be key.

Here are some recipe ideas for non-refrigerated snacks that can be made early and packed easily.
