Mini Frittatas with Ham and Cheese Recipe

These savory, bite-sized frittatas taste delicious both warm and at room temperature. Pack them in an insulated bag and keep them around when you need a high-protein mini-meal. Since these do have eggs and cheese, they're better suited for shorter flights.

Peanut Butter-Banana Spirals Recipe

Kids will love this snack and never know that the crunch in their roll-up is actually good-for-them wheat germ. These little sandwiches pack well and are the perfect size for small hands. Because the peanut butter is spread thinly on the tortillas instead of being in a jar, it shouldn't be a problem to get these through security.
