Christine if you take a pack of Ranch dressing mix and mix it with half a pack of Taco dip mix you will have the Ranch Fiesta dip mix😊 I have been making it for years!!
I’m always so jealous of the great deals your stores offer. The stores around me hardly ever have even decent deals. It’s still just cheaper for me to shop at Walmart and Aldi.
I was thinking the same! Sadly no deals like that and I shop everywhere. But Aldi always wins in price
I love how you prioritize fun AND fitness in your family/life!! As an adult now who struggles with weight/energy/motivation I wish my parents had instilled these values in me at a young age. Your family holidays are what I dream of! Your kids will look back on these days with so much joy. Thank you for bringing us along!! I hope you had the best week ever. :)
We just got back from the Grand Canyon! My husband and I plus Daughter, son in law and 3 Grands. They did lots of hiking. We because of age ,did not but did lots of walking that did not include climbing . It was so fun. A huge trip for us. From Virginia to there. We flew. Also landed in Vegas and spent night . Eye opening! Locals Hoover Dam. We did that. Loved it! Stopped at many spots on Rt. 66. Spent Friday to Friday. So Thankful we got to have one of our Bucket list things done. And having 3 Grands with us was fun. 15, 14, and 11. 2 boys and a girl! I know this trip was wonderful for you and your family. Thanks for taking us along!
I have a coworker who is in her 60s and she hikes down to the base of the Grand Canyon and back up on the same day and she does this every year. We live in Indiana, but she flies out there and hikes and flies back.
I meal prep for vacation, too! Most people think I am crazy packing so much food, but it saves more than just money. It saves time, avoids decision-making about where to go out to eat, reduces traveller's tummy issues, and keeps me sane. My favorite tip is to pre-cook casseroles and things like taco meat and freeze them. In the cooler with added ice on a long trip the foods stay cold and we can heat a meal while we are unloading.
Those trails look intense!! You guys are amazing. Hope you're doing ok without your daughter. As an empty-nester, I know it can be hard without frequent hugs from all your kiddos.
I would’ve mixed them together and made lemon blueberry muffins! Lol
I love how happy the vacation makes you!
I've never heard it said this way, but I'm really happy to see you raising your kids to be self-reliant but also family-reliant. You all look after each other and have as much fun together as I ever see these days. My childhood was like that and I'm glad your family is too!
Those trails made my heart skip a best! You are brave, girl! But it was also jaw-droppingly beautiful. Enjoy!
The tip for fiesta ranch - 💯. Found at my local Walmart and made cottage cheese dip for the week - flavor is ON POINT!
There is nothing as precious as family fun! Thank you for sharing!❤
Beautiful vacation surroundings. You killed it on the food prep😊❤😊
Thank you for sharing this trip with us! I gasped out loud when you said you were showing your boys The Matrix for the first time. So fun!!
ohh I'm in Oregon, I know exactly how excited you are about warmer weather 🌞
Dunkaroos are the best entertainment on a plane for toddlers. The package domes so high and they spend an hour just poking the package and laughing. Plus, it was the only time they came out.
Thank you for sharing your tips and trip. Looks like fun
Looks like so much fun with amazing views !!! God bless !
LOVE Moab! Thanks for showing how you pack! What fun-the picture at the end! So good!
Wow looks amazing!! Love watching your families adventures in 🎉🎉 🎉🎉🎉
you guys are goals for us! our kids are almost 3 and 4.5 and we can't wait to do alll of this
Sandwiches hit different after a day of fun in the sun. I can't believe how fast your kids have grown. I have one 17 yr old boy. I'm savoring every second.
It does my heart well to see a family enjoying the outdoors. Y'all are making some great memories.
That looks amazing! Thank you for Sharing
Looks like fun. Good weather.
Have fun! ☀️ safe travels!
How exciting to see this video right before I go on a road trip!! How fun! I have never thought of taking a cooler that’s such a great idea! 🎉🎉🎉 THANK YOU!!
You're making lifelong memories with your children 😊 glad your finger is healed enough to enjoy the trip.
LOL! I used to forget the ketchup and butter when we went camping. It is now a joke and I NEVER forget it. I even take it when we go on an overnight trip. Great video!!
I was just a few hours away riding and running in Rabbit Valley (on I70 just over the CO border) and it is amazing how much food was consumed! Oatmeal crème pies are definitely going on my list for next trip:)
Amazing video. Looks SO fun!
That looked HELLA FUN!! Thanks for sharing beautiful! 😊❤
true
Mix the two mixes together and make blueberry poppy seed muffins
Love your family activity vacations! I’m always envious of moms with boys!
Christine, that was a great video. Thank you for sharing. I love watching your videos😊!
Y'all are inspiring & so fun!
Wow ! What a trip ! Looks like so much fun !!!
Such a wonderful trip filled with great memories. You kids will grow up and do the same with their kids! Mine did and I pray yours will too! Thank you for your channel. 💜
That looks TREACHEROUS!!! You are all so AWESOME!!!
Teenage boys never cease to amaze! Looks like an amazing trip!
I just want to thank you for the BOMB sound tracks, thank you for sharing with us
Hi Christine! I also love to pack the food. That gives more time for memories together cooking at home instead waiting for a table with hangry kids! 😂
❤ from Iowa
Went to Moab in 2021. Never went west of St Louis prior…OMG!!!! Best trip ever!!!! Enjoy!!!👍🤗
We were just there for the first time last month. What a beautiful place.
What an amazing vacation! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Our pleasure!
Thanks for awesome adventure.
Someday, I will get to Utah! Looks so beautiful every time y'all go.
I channelled my inner Christine the other day and I was so excited that I just started giving it away and opening them to pre-cook, that I forgot to take a picture and post to IG! I finally hit a deal at Fred Myer. I went to grab the $2.50 Kroger hot sausage when what ?? ... right above it was Jimy Dean Hot Sausage clearanced at $1.98! Finally got some under $2. So I ... Umm ... grabbed all 16 and didn't feel bad about it at all. Actually meal prepping some protein pancake and sausage bites right now.
I wish our family was like yours. And we live in Florida so no excuse weather wise. Such a great way to spend time together.
Enjoy your much deserved vacation 😘 😉 ✨️. Great tips 👍
And yes, I do understand…, I used to live in Hurricane…, so close to both Zion’s and Moab. 85° will be awesome! Enjoy your week 🎈♥️
How fun! Thanks for sharing.
Oohhh!!! Dead Horse Point is perhaps my favorite place in the world! Granted, I haven't been out of the country, but I've been all over the country! I love Moab!
Awesome video!! Those trails look HARD! No 😂wonder you're tired. Big fun & great memories
We have a 12V fridge that looks like a cooler to plug in and run in the car. This seems like a perfect trip for something like that
Fantastic meal prep Christine. Beautiful videos too!
It looks like you all had a blast!!
I love thrive market! Im so glad i heard you talk about it. I get the turkey sticks. I get the soley fruit strips but only eat when my blood sugar gets low
Great family time!! Great planning!! ❤❤
Hi Christine 🤗 Wow! I need to go to Moab for some mountain biking. looks AWESOME! you sure pack some great foods! thanks for all the tips.
Yay! We are going there this May!
My daughter did a cross country trip when she moved to SF. She loved that area! Enjoy!!
Hope you had fun in Moab! Canyonlands is my favorite. I love the Mesa Arch hike. 😊
I lovvveeed this video especially the awesome biking shots at the end. My preteen boys have just got into mountain biking and I was like “well I’m not sending you out on your own!” So at 40 I have now started…omg SO-MUCH-FUN!
8:00 Oh em gee, I just ordered a box of those sweet thins. I'm excited to try them!
Love the last shot of the video!
Looks like you are riding on top of the world! Love your videos
Thanks for mentioning the friends and family sale! I was able to score a few groceries and got over $80 of savings!!!
You're making wonderful family memories! I really like your idea of having your meal subscription sent to your Air B&B.. I don't order meal subscription kits, but for those who do, I think it's a great idea when vacationing to have it sent to your cabin ir Air B&B!
When we take road trips, I definitely pack at least lunch and snacks. So much cheaper and healthier because hubby and I are on a weight loss journey.
Please on a video can you explain the difference in all difference rice options. Thanks. I typically use long grain because it's cheaper and don't understand why the others are better or cost more.
With rice I HATE brown rice but I love black (wild rice) and red.
I've noticed that boil in bag vs 5 min rice is sooooo different.
Basmati and Jasmine taste the same to me.
I like calrose, it’s slightly sticky
Basmati cooks as long separate grains (opposite of sushi rice which is short and sticky), and jasmine is long and fragrant (not immediately obvious but if you go from jasmine to regular long grain, you might notice the difference). If you’re not fussed, honestly to me rice is rice (when we eat out we eat whatever rice is served). But my kids are fussy so🤷♀️
AWESOME!
I need to pause this video while I inwardly digest the low low prices you paid for those groceries. Give me a minute. Envy takes a minute..... PS What an awesome vacation. You're building such great memories with your family.
LOVE the FIT MOM vids!!!!!
I love adventuring with you! ❤
What a great vacation!
Love to see your family having so much fun! I personally thought it looked terrifying! But I'm not an outdoors person. You guys look like you had a blast!
What a beautiful dog!
Fiesta Ranch is the main spice for a crock pot recipe I have with cream cheese, chicken, corn, rotel and black beans. it is SO good on tostados but even in Minnesota it's scarce and I get this buy 10!
Do you make that in a crockpot? It sounds really good! If you have time I'd love if you could share your recipe 😇
One of your best, Christine! What an awesome trip! Loved your sneaks, tho. Whodathunkit I'd like that color blue? lol See you next week!
Have a blast .. thx for sharing!! Yeah adding some salt, esp pink Himalayan to your drinking water good for adventure, saying hydrated💦
Some of those trails look dangerous !! Be careful !! It does look like you all are having fun !! Thanks for sharing !!
What an awesome adventure!
How fun and what a great idea the meal prep so you can get out early & no clean up
Friends of ours go to Moab every year for the month of April. I think they have something against the weather in Maine during April, lol.
love kusteez which is super easy and super delicious-sounds great outdoors in UTAH!!!
Loved this Christine
Looks like a blast! Was hoping to see Rogue out in the trails with you!
Such an amazing vacation. Wow to see the skills of the kids now and a few years ago when the family rode the trail in North Dakota (I think). Everything looked enjoyable.
Everyone has improved so much!!!
Omg....my kind of snacks!! And the dog is precious!!! ❤️
Every Plate & Thrive - 2 of my favorite companies. I’ve sent EP boxes to myself on vacations or when visiting family so I can cook for everyone. Have a great time!
That is awesome!
Looks like you had a great vacation.
My family is coming to visit me so this is their vacation from NC to FL- so we will be doing a lot of beach walks and looking for sharks teeth- but when I go up to see them its hiking and biking time!!! love the video!!
LOVE Moab area. We've been several times. Never done anything twice. There's just so much to see and do!
*And everything is harder in Moab cuz of the wx and elevation!!*
And we prep like you, cuz we just want to get out and go! It's easier to have the goodies and needs at hand on the trails. :)
So incredible to me how much your family eats!
very active people need fuel
id LOVE to be going with you !
My tip for fabulous packaged muffins,, ,sub coconut oil for most of the veg oil, add a little bit of olive oil to fill the 1/4 or 1/3 cup the recipe requires.
I did this in a pinch when i didnt have any other oils on hand. I was using Krusteaz Cranberry Orange Muffin mix.
OMG ! Seriously, they were way better than normal. They received RAVE reviews. No coconut taste, just a super light and delightful mouthful.
PLUS the Dollar Tree always has bottles of Coconut oil for $ 1.25. Enough for at least three batches of muffins.
Thanks for all the great info and tips and ideas along the way.
The photo at the end! 🤣
Vector is my Fav cereal. I stock up on it when they go on sale at Costco. I often eat it as my dinner .
Wow! What an amazing vacation. Making such fantastic memories with your family. BTW…you had me at a salt sandwich 🤣
😁
So clever avoiding eating out. Save heaps
Loved watching the adventure!
Glad you enjoyed it!
