Christmas Road Trip

[cstadt]

Mobile, Alabama to Momence, Illinois is about 15 hours without stops

Two veg, my omni dad, and my dog are all driving while my mom and brother fly.

What are some festive road-stable goodies? Though I'm not the biggest fan of non-vegan desserts the boys don't mind. No eggs though.

I'm also thinking of something to bake and bring sepcifically for my grandmother. Probably brownies with minty icing. Not sure though. Any thoughts?

Muffins will keep. Cupcakes will too, if you keep the frosting separate and on ice, then put the icing on once you get there.

Yeah that's probably going to have to be the case... unless I just pack some dairy-free things and whip up some icing there though I don't know the extent of the one grocery store in the area

I'll probably make pumpkin muffins since they always turn out right for me, and I love the grahm base for VCTOtW's S'mores cupcakes.

Cookies can be very festive and road stable.

Momence isn't to far from where I live.

[cstadt]

Really that's cool, we've got family all up over Grant Park, Momence, Crete... and my dad went to KCC

As far as cookies go I think I'm going to make molasses sandwich cookies :rockon:
I'll probably utilize some food coloring for the festive part.

I would go with scones, trifle, muffins, banana bread or cookies.
