Major laundry time!!
We brought two Tide packets with us to do laundry mid-way through our trip (Matt’s planning a second load after I leave). Sure made packing easier. And I have to say I’m glad to have clean socks again!
In between our loads of laundry, we decided to find a Montana western movie to watch tonight. After some Netflix association searching and Googling “Best Westerns” (haha – we’re no longer staying at the Best Western!) we realized Karen has been raving about A River Runs Through It for ages and her love for Montana and we’d never seen it. Perfection! Netflix online is so amazing for travel.
We piled up our dinner plates and got cozy with the movie.
Our to-go deli salads included a kale and fennel salad, a kamut and feta/olive, African-spiced vegetables and a curried brown rice + tempeh.
Plus a bonus salad bar mix
I would have paid $25 for this amazing plate of food in a restaurant!
Everything tasted amazing – especially the tahini dressing on the salad salad. We added a hunk of Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat on the side.
And for dessert – mint dark!
We’re starting our morning early again with Kathy’s boot camp one more time. And then we have to be at the HQ by 8AM. It’s going to be a crammed-in morning again! Hard to believe I go home on Thursday!
Christine says
The best plate! So many different tastes!
Enjoy your clean socks!
Katelyn says
Good luck at sandwich-making school! Slash your food looks deLICIOUS, now I want to have dinner all over again;)
Camille says
Aww, I love that movie. It’s so sad though!
Kat says
You are the genius of finding delicious food where ever you go! Looks delicious
Ellie says
Yumm looks good! I’m with Karen, that is one great movie. Plus young brad pitt, what’s not to love!
Kath says
I was DROOLING over him!!
Sarah @ See Sarah Graduate says
A River Runs Through It is one of my favs! 🙂
Maryann (The Balanced Bean) says
Dinner looks very delicious and nutritious! Have a good night 🙂
Hannah says
I love doing this while travelling – compiling a heap of delicious snacks and cosying up in my hotel room at night 🙂 When you’re travelling alone, it helps the loneliness!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
YUM! All of those salads look delicious!! I would have paid $25 for them, too, if I had to. hehe 🙂
Erin @ Shortcut to Bliss says
I love this. We always do laundry before we go home if we are gone for more than 2 or 3 days. It makes it so easy to go home and everything is already clean. I am really loving your “bar foods”. I don’t know why I have never thought of this. It would be so much easier to load up a box at a really yummy healthy bar than to scour a city for restaurants for every single meal.
Laura says
I love “A River Runs Through It”!! In case you need another one – “Legends of the Fall”! Its the reason why I’ve been wanting to visit Montana for ages!
Kath says
That is on our que for tonight!!! Brad Pitt x2!
Laura says
yay!!! have fun! 😉
Sara R. says
I was going to suggest this one too! I loved it when I was an angstful teenager. Very similar to A River Runs Through it though!
Bess @ Bess Be Fit says
Netflix is awesome. Good luck with stuff tomorrow!!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
What a wonderful plate of food! Your meals always look so delicious, even when traveling!
Alaina says
Looks like a wonderful dinner! I love love Netflix. We don’t even need cable anymore because of all the options you get through Netflix. 🙂
Sana says
That salad looks amazeeee!
Mads says
Where do you find these great delis and restaurants that serve healthy foods? I feel like I’m always struggling to eat out and stay fit.
Tips??
Kath says
Grocery stores. I look for the healthy ones with salad bars and delis. Most cities have a Whole Foods, but when they don’t, there are often comps.
Namaste Gurl says
Yeah for healthy food!

I know I’ve seen that movie before and the only thing I really remember about it is that it’s soooo good!!!
That dinner looks amazing!! I love a buffet of salads. Mmmmm tahini dressing…..
Leila @ Spinach and Skittles says
Isn’t netflix awesome? We’ve got the iPhone apps and my hubs watches tv shows and movies on road trips all the time.
Ilana says
To think you are in the midst of all the beautiful Montana scenery in ArRTI!
Dinner looks yum- dinner and a movie is the Best! I’ve gotta get Netflix! Have a great week at GH school!

Salad and laundry galore! I agree with Stacey, everything looks really fresh and not soggy at all. I haven’t seen many Western movies but I love how you searched best Westerns hahaha, too funny! Hope you have a great busy morning !
Simply Life says

Hope says
I love the different salads that you got! It makes for an interesting dinner. Plus, that bread looks amazing.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
We just watched that movie last week thinking we had never seen it before. Truth is we saw it and thought is was beautiful, but the story was a little on the slow side for us. Visually though, it was incredible and shot so well.
Beth @ DiningAndDishing says
Very impressed with your ability to eat so many meals in your hotel room throughout this trip!! More than anything, eating out becomes so tiring during long trips – it’s much more enjoyable as a special treat! I’m taking note for future travels… 🙂
Tinfoils Tiaras says
What a delcious and healthy sounding meal! I am really contemplating getting netflix- I really like the concept!
Melomeals: Vegan for $3.33 a Day says
I LOVED that movie… it was so good and well shot that it made me want to move to Montana.
That food looks amazing!
Kristina says
Haha I can sooo relate to the travel/laundry situation. I just spent two weeks in Turkey, and my roommie and I did laundry in the bathtub with Tide packets…
Maria @ The Fitted Apron says
Beautiful looking dinner.
Jessica says
I love dark chocolate! Our co-op sells these great chocolate bars made by local chocolate maker about twenty minutes away – so delicious!

Kiran says
Its so difficult living out of a suitcase. I love traveling, but not the packing-unpacking process 😀
Kelsey says
It’s a WONDERFUL movie. Hope you liked it! Dinner, per usual, looked delicious!
Allison @ Happy Tales says
I always want every. single. one. of your meals! Espeeecially this one! mmmm
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Nothing in this world feels better than having clean laundry! I have to pay for my laundry at my apartment, so I let it pile up until I get enough for a load, but I wish I could do it more frequently!
Val @ Balancing Val says
I always used to bring tide packets on vacations.
They seem so expensive though and only have a tiny bit in them.
I started bringing powdered or liquid detergent in little plastic baggies. I
It saves money AND I can control the bubbles 🙂
Kristi says
Can’t believe you’d never seen A River Runs Through It…love that movie! Y’all sure do the best creative hotel meals I’ve ever seen!
