You Can Take it With You!
We love summer. It means road trips, camping and lazy days at the beach. But you know that wherever we go, we always have one thing on our minds: "What are we going to eat?"
So do like we do when you're out and about this summer; sail past those fast food traps and enjoy the best that summer offers in the way of easy meals and seasonal summer snacks to keep you eating well, no matter how far you are from home.
The Secret Ingredient: Preparation
When it comes to preparing summer picnics, road food or beach snacks keep two words in mind: simple and good. Keeping things easy and using the best ingredients are key to making any recipe to take on-the-go. And with summer fruits and vegetables juicy, fragrant and bountiful, we couldn't ask for anything more.
So first things first: Just like when you're cooking at home, a little common sense planning before you head out the door helps ensure stress-free dining on down the road. Think ahead about where and when hunger will strike.
Hitting the road? Pack healthy snacks. Make sure at least some of them don't need to be in the cooler to avoid frequent opening and closing. Pack refreshing drinks and cold water, too.
Going camping or to the beach where you can cook out? Pre-marinate fish, chicken or tempeh to cook on your first night out. Pack frozen items to thaw for the second night, or bring canned goods that open and heat up easily.
Consider trying out new recipes at home first to make sure you like the dish before packing it along on a trip. The road's no place to find out you don't like that pasta salad.
Transporting food in summer heat and consuming it outdoors has its own set of hazards. Not to worry, however. Pack lots of ice and cold packs and check on cold food often to make sure it's in good shape.

 Pearson Candy Company was founded in 1909 by P. Edward Pearson with the assistance of his two brothers John Albert and Oscar F. Pearson. A few years later, two more brothers Waldemar and C. Fritz joined the Minneapolis-based company, which began as a candy distribution firm, doing a little bit of manufacturing on the side. The Nut Goodie Bar, one of the company's first manufactured products, made its debut in 1912 as a premium 5-cent candy bar, and was met with much success. Pearson's Salted Nut Roll was introduced in 1933 at the height of the depression.
 In August 2011, Pearson's was acquired by Brynwood Partners VI, L.P. located in Greenwich, CT. As we celebrate our first 100 years, we not only reflect on our rich history, but lay the foundation for a strong future. We are honored to continue a tradition started by the Pearson brothers and take pride in the fact that our candies have brought enjoyment to so many generations! Pearson's candy will be sampling at Anderson Race Management events this year season. We thank Pearson's for their tenth year of support to our active runners.
