It's that time of the year when children become relentless, asking for long drives, a vacation plan and what not.

Have no worry, these are problems with quick-fix solutions! Take a look at our suggestions and make that road trip happen. **Lemon rice** The burst of yellow would match the morning colours perfectly, and while you'd want to keep driving, enjoying the ride, the food packets that induce the hunger pangs would make you stop awhile. Relish this flavoured rice, seasoned well and drizzled with zesty lemon juice that would keep you upbeat through the journey. **Sannas** Want fuss free travel food? There's nothing better than these steam cakes, a close cousin of the idli. A breakfast item, the Sannas is popular in Karnataka and Kerala and can be teamed up with hot chutneys or pickles. **Aloo Paratha** A quick-fix to overnight drives, this paratha, stuffed with mashed potato masala is quite the deal clincher when it comes to long drives!

Then this sandwich, packed with proteins, is a great option. Easy-to-get ingredients and some greens and mayo, you're good to go. **Bread upma** Short drive to the beach, is it? After a good splash in the warm waters, this piquant bread upma would taste heavenly. Pack in a large sized container with as many number of spoons as there are people, and just dig in! **Egg Kebab** If you are for elaborate snacks, then this egg kebab, with egg rolled into a meat layer, deep fried in oil would be rich and appetizing. You might have to take time out to make this, but it's worth the time and trouble.
