Although I am sure some of my readers realized I was way for the past three weeks, some do not. We left southwestern Ontario (Canada) on May 8 for our vacation home. Then we flew out of Fort Lauderdale on May 12 to spend a wonderful side trip to Aruba. We returned to our vacation home on May 19 where we stayed until May 29. It was a wonderful, food filled vacation of which I will share some of our foodie finds and favourite restaurants in the next couple of weeks.!
Airport food is expensive compared to other restaurants but you are paying for the convenience of getting food before boarding. We have arrived several times where the airport restaurants a closed so which is really a pain if your flight is delayed. Spirit does sell non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks as well as limited number of snacks but they only accept credit cards or debit card, no cash.
We get there early enough to get through security so we have a bit of down time in one of the restaurants. Once cleared security, we head to one of the bars where we can order fairly decent, all be it pricey food. We stopped at the Redwing Bar for lunch. I seriously do not like much in my tummy when flying. Quite frankly, my choice would be no food at all before flying by my husband insists I eat a little. Don't worry about me going without food for part of the day as I do make up for it once we are safely at our destination.
I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and ate just enough to appease my husband . This is just a lovely salad that can easily be made at home. Chicken strips are one of my favourite quick meal starts. Look for chicken on sale then skin and debone. Pan fry or barbecue the chicken and cut into strips. Package in meal sized servings then freeze until you want to use it. Use the chicken strips for Caesar salad or wraps.
