[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Appreciate the ideas, please keep them coming. We’ve been to SC many summers, I’m familiar with the grocery/take away options, but our “routine” is to usually bring most ingredients for our first dinner and just grab a few items like salad, milk on our drive in.

To the poster who asked, I noted our stopover in the drive because whatever food we bring in the car with us for this first meal only needs to stay cold in a cooler for 5ish hours vs 9. In the past I’ve brought a Vace frozen lasagna for this first meal because it is a thick frozen brick and defrosts nicely on the long drive down, but I’d prefer a less heavy meal - the meatballs a PP suggested could work nicely, I could do turkey meatballs.

OK, but you mentioned you’re getting in at 1 PM so you have plenty of time to hit up a store it’s not as if you’re getting in at 6 PM and need to quickly make dinner. [/quote]

This is OP. I do my vacation my way, you do yours your way. Some posters bring in, some order pizza, some never cook at all when on vacation. I usually bring our first meal in the car with us, as none of us feel like doing our big weekly shopping when we first arrive - we are unpacking the car and excited to head to the beach and don’t want to fight the crowds at the grocery store in the afternoon on a Saturday or wait 1.5 hrs for pizza.

I provided the details I did to the extent they influence meal suggestions - the food only needs to be kept cold in the car for X hours, I will have the desire to shop for no more than minimal ingredients on arrival, etc.

Anyway, I much appreciate all of the actual suggestions and am leaning towards spaghetti with turkey meatballs and maybe the pesto sauce - I can premake both and they freeze nicely, and the rest of the ingredients are pantry stable and easy to transport. [/quote]
