Moving Day Meal Ideas
The key to a good moving day meal is something that you can prepare ahead of time and is easy to eat with limited utensils. By the time moving day arrives, your entire kitchen is packed into boxes and your house has been thoroughly cleaned. At this point, cooking a big meal (or any meal really) just isn’t an option.
We’re also typically eating with plastic forks and paper plates those last few days as well because silverware has been packed away as well. So, anything you eat with your hands is a bonus. At the very least, something that is easy to eat with plastic silverware and paper plates or bowls.
