Fall Roadtrip Snacks

Fall into Autumn by treating yourself to a weekend getaway before the hectic holiday season of costumes-galore, turkey eating and holiday gift buying are upon us. With our internal and external clocks ticking toward a heavy social calendar filled with holiday celebrations our thoughts and feelings yearn for a weekend getaway.

Cheers to you and your travels. I'd love to hear from you so remember to share your getaway tips, fun finds and foliage pictures with us. Check-in anytime. Among a multitude of destinations, here are three of my favorites and snack ideas to fuel you on your way.

And don't forget to bring home some great fall leaves, cranberries and pumpkins to spice up your tabletops. Whether it's antiquing, gourmet dining, picnicking or luxuriating in a spa, remember it's just a hop, skip, drive or flight away!

To best enjoy your drive or picnic amongst the leaves, remember to pack a few simple, seasonal and savory snacks in a trendy picnic backback from The Wine Bag. With backpack in hand, prepare for your trip with some of my fuss free must-have yummies:

• Apples from the local stand
• Sliced figs and prosciutto
• Parmigiano-reggiano wedges
• Mixed olives
• Skewers of fresh cranberries or frozen grapes
• Rosemary ciabetta loaf
• And for a touch of bubbly fun, remember to celebrate nature by popping open a bottle of champagne or sparkling cider.
• To take it up a notch, drop one of your fruity skewers into the bubbly.
