I'd love to know...What do you make while you're on Vacation!?

I am renting a house for a week and am trying to write myself a Shopping list...
It won't be till the Fall so I have time- but also perhaps the need/want for Comfort Foods!

Any Ideas would be great!!

    Don't usually cook while I'm on vacation... But, when I was in high school/college, my family used to rent a condo in Navarre Beach, FL. We would get groceries while we were there. We would do simple stuff like PB&J and other sandwich stuff. Since we were near the ocean, we would also always do a shrimp boil one night too! Where are you staying? I would suggest checking out the local farmer's market and see what they have to offer. Ask the locals what the signature dish for the region is and try to recreate it!

    Same type of meals as at home.

    Chicken - baked or bbq (or if there's a market near by, get a rotisserie chicken and shred it into a salad or make some quesadilla's)
    Pork Chops
    Jumbo Prawns
    Quinoa Salad
    Greek Salad
    Pasta
    Roasted veggies
    For something warm: Buy a bunch of butternut squash and sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, and spices (brought from home), roast in the oven and stick in the blender with some chicken stock for an awesome soup.

    Oh man, the list goes on and on...
