Post-road trip hanger is real. Be prepared.
When I pack for a long weekend away at my family lake house or a rental, I don't just bring extra sandals and a sunhat. I bring enough food so that I don't have to maketrips to the store while I'm there. Those long weekends away from the city are precious to me, and I don't want to spend any of my time at the supermarket. But that's not all.
Another reason to pack some make-ahead recipes, especially for a rental house: you never know what kind of equipment that kitchen is going to have. You can't assume there will be a blender or a food processor or a slew of pots, pans, and mixing bowls, or a well-stocked pantry or spice cabinet. If you can prep the more complex dishes in the comfort of your own kitchen, you won't have to rely on the rental kitchen as much.
Sitting on the deck of your vacation rental house is so much better with homemade dip... but that dip doesn't have to be freshly made. You're on vacation after all.In my totally fictional dream world of being the hostess with the mostess for a three-day weekend at the lake house, I'm waiting with trays of snacks and freshly made cocktails in a calm, tidy, peaceful house when all my guests arrive.
