I gave up trying to take a week's worth of food with me and man, it is hard to come up with safe meals beyond sad pre-packaged grocery store salads.
I made this little travel kit to make hotel room meal prep a little easier.
Most of it I purchased from the dollar store. It contains:
A small bottle of extra virgin olive oil
A travel size bottle filled with dish soap (I used plumber's tape when screwing on the cap so it wouldn't leak)
A sponge, cut in half
Flexible cutting boards, cut to fit inside the container I chose
A knife, sharpened between trips
salt and pepper packets
a few ziplock sandwich bags
Not pictured:
a fork and a spoon
a small corkscrew
an old-school can opener
a clothespin, for a bag clip
It all fits nicely in this little container that I tuck it into my suitcase.
I wash and use the container for meals, and at the end of the trip it all fits back inside.
Just having the container has made a huge difference, and the knife/cutting board is awesome... I have found that it's possible to cut an avocado using the end of a plastic spoon and a napkin, but it's much easier with the right equipment!
