With these in the cooler, this just might be the best family vacation yet.
We included four flavor variations if you want to spice up this classic.
Cheesy Tomato-and-Sausage Strata
Basically any weekend trip requires a breakfast casserole for a crowd.

Many Southerners recommenda pinch of salt on topbefore enjoying.
Marinated Cucumber, Tomato, and Onion Salad
This simple salad is the ultimate summer side dish.
Make a big bowl of it at the beginning of the trip and pick on it the entire time.

Dont skip our gussied-up garlic mayo.
Set a bowl out with some tortilla scoop chips while you cook dinner to tide everyone over.
Go above and beyond this summer and make them at home for a fun family activity.

Red, White, and Blue Popsicles
Perhaps nothing screams summertime more than these nostalgic popsicles.
Freeze-dried berries add a festive and tasty touch to the classic recipe.
