Ingredients

* 1/2 c. Rice
* 3 c. Water
* 1 tsp salt per cup of rice
* 1/8 tsp Mexican saffron
* 2 tbs oil or ghee
* 1 tbs raisins

Instructions

Boil the water.
In the meantime, wash the rice (3 times if possible). In a frying pan, heat the oil, salt, and rice.

Sauteeing the uncooked rice will bring it to the same temperature as the water, so boiling will not stop once the rice is added.

Once water is boiling, add saffron and raisins. Let the raisins boil so that they get plump and juicy.

Add the rice. If you’ve done things right, the water should keep boiling. Continue to boil it for a while; let it steam until the rice begins to come to the top. Then turn the flame low and let it cook for 12 minutes.

** Note Mexican saffron is somehow different from regular saffron, so make sure you use the right kind.

Or you can hop to nearest restaurants for salad.

You can add some kind of nuts, crackers and breads to your 'pack' list. And if you eat cheese and/or eggs, you should be able to find those foods at little rural diners. Its not that difficult anymore. I drove cross country less than a year ago and took very little food with me. I was able to find food at each stop I made. You just have to be a bit creative. ☺ Everyone serves salad of some kind – even McDonald’s. You can add some kind of nuts, crackers and breads to your ‘pack’ list.

Peanut or almond butter and a loaf of bread will be a lifesaver. Can you bring a cooler in the car? Cause then you could have stuff like veggies and hummus. And Luna or Lara bars would be more nutritious than the granola. Which reminds me, if there's a cereal you like to munch on straight out of the box, bring that. If you still eat dairy and egg, I wouldn't be too concerned about finding something in any restaurants. If you're vegan, be prepared for a lot of salads. It's only a week, so you'll survive (especially if you have the PB and bread). Also, talk to your boyfriend beforehand, and share your concerns with him, so you'll have someone supporting you. You didn't say where you're going, but you can check out this website for veggie friendly restaurants all over the world. Edit: Barbecue places always have baked potatoes, and there's always Taco Hell. :-) Some nuts, fruits, and stuff like that would be good.
