One of the most significant expenses when traveling is food. That’s because traveling more or less necessitates going out to eat quite a bit, which adds up quickly, especially compared to the cost of cooking at home. But if you’re staying in a hotel room, there are actually a few meals you can make fairly easily from the hotel that will save you a lot of money—and taste good, too.
Panini
Panini sandwiches are some of the most delicious around with their warm, toasty bread and gooey, melted cheese. And you can actually make them in a hotel room with just some aluminum foil and the iron your hotel provides. Just build your sandwich, wrap in foil, and press with the iron on the hottest setting with no steam. Heat each side for three to four minutes and voila! Panini.
Salad
As long as you can get some salad greens, ingredients like shredded carrots, a can of tuna or chickpeas, and dressing in the local grocery store, you can make a salad in your hotel room. Just pop everything into a Tupperware container and shake it up to mix!
Rice and Veggies
Did you know that you can cook rice in a coffee maker? You can also use it to steam foods like veggies and hot dogs for a meal complete with all of the macronutrients and some micronutrients, too.
