Eating Healthy While Traveling

I am in Reno right now for my cousin's high school graduation. It is difficult to control what to eat when you travel, but we are fortunate to have access to condos with kitchens for our accommodations. I planned simple meals that I knew my kids would eat and brought most of our food from home to save money on the trip that we would have used for eating out.
When we arrived in Reno on Monday night and opened the back of our minivan my jar of spaghetti sauce for dinner fell out and broke on the ground. My first thought was that I was going to have to go find a store and get some more sauce, but I decided to get the kids into the room and see what I had packed in the cooler. I had fresh tomatoes and avocado, and the condo stocked basic spices (minced onion, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper), so I decided to throw a sauce together while the whole wheat spaghetti noodles were cooking. I quartered the tomatoes and scooped the avocado from the shell and put it in my high speed blender.  I added minced onion, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and a handful of oatmeal as a thickening agent. I processed it until smooth, and then spooned it over the hot noodles. It turned out to be a really tasty save on what I was sure was going to be a failed dinner plan. My kids were so tired and wound up they wouldn't eat, but even my dad, who was skeptical at first, ate every bite.
For Tuesday night I planned to make Black Bean Quesadillas. I packed 2 cans of black beans, fresh tortillas, and shredded cheese. I drained most of the liquid off of the beans and added them to the blender, with some minced onion, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and a dash of salt. I pulsed the blender to break up the beans but still leave them chunky, then warmed them slightly in a sauce pan on the stove. When they were warm enough I spread a spoonful of the beans on a fresh hot tortilla, topped it with cheese and another tortilla and put it in the frying pan until it was crisp on both sides and the cheese was melted. Simple and delicious.You could serve them with sour cream, plain yogurt, salsa, or avocado.
