Flight Attendant Packing Essentials

Put together the essentials for flight crews. So many people are coming back from being off for a year and ask me what the essentials are. Here is my list of favorite things.

"What can I cook in all of these amazing things", you ask?
Well, I solved that problem too!

"Recipes from Behind the Curtain" is on the list too! Perfect recipes for even the busiest travelers.

The highly requested packing video is below!

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

1) any sort of hydro flask or aluminum water bottle. Water on the plane is scarce and Dasani is gross. You can fill this up at any airport between flights to stay hydrated.

2) aluminum tupperware is amazing because it’s light in weight and you can put it in the oven on the plane or your hot logic. It’s also super easy to clean.

https://amzn.to/3uumwEH

3) collapsible bowl. You can even get them with lids in case you can’t finish the meal. I like these personally for when I’ve brought all my ingredients separate to keep them longer.

https://amzn.to/3pMvucQ

4) hot logic. This is a must for layovers and long sits. It takes a min but it’s worth it. I freeze soups to keep my food cold all day and then at the end of the day I put that soup in my hot logic, work out and then boom! A hot meal when traveling is a game changer.

https://amzn.to/2NXYMbc

5) “Recipes From Behind The Curtain”, written by yours truly. It’s 100 pages of healthy recipes that are easy to meal prep for the week and take to go. It is for sale in my website and on Amazon.

https://amzn.to/3pWwj2F

6) collapsible mug is so nice when you want to make a quick soup on the plane.

https://amzn.to/3sp9g2f

7) travel silverware is life. I use these so often!

https://amzn.to/3sqhK9r

8)thin ice packs. Game changer!

https://amzn.to/3pUgz0h

9) collapsible kettle. I legit cannot live without it. Hot lemon and ginger water is what gets me through the day. I use this about twice a day when I'm working a 12 hour day.

https://amzn.to/2NGbwU1

Continuing the essentials:
1) beeswax paper is so nice for sandwiches, dry veggies, tortillas or wraps. Saves the environment and you just rinse them clean.

https://amzn.to/2P9UCxD

2) stasher bags: what a godsend! Leakproof, durable, you can freeze them, boil them, anything!

https://amzn.to/2P1rKHG

3) travel size bone broth, there are veggie options out there too. You can add frozen veggies, rice noodles, tofu, anything and it’s a nice quick hot meal in a mug.

https://amzn.to/2NGcEad

4) portable water heater. If you don’t have the space for an electric collapsible kettle, this does the trick too! Boils water in minutes and takes up no space at all. It’s under $12!

https://amzn.to/3dRUQDE

5) honey sticks! I avoid white sugar as much as possible. Honey sticks are great for tea and coffee but also muffins, sweet potatoes, etc. between the sticks and some lemons, ur always ready if u get an itchy throat.

https://amzn.to/3byZZ0Y

6) silicone baking muffin tins. You can make travel meatloaf, egg protein bites, muffins, etc. so easy to travel with and clean for later.

https://amzn.to/3pWxhvP

7) camping coffee maker. It’s hard to find coffee at hotels now, so here is my solution for caffeine lovers!

https://amzn.to/3bAHvx4

8) I’m ALWAYS freezing. There are no blankets in planes, I’ve never been one to use those anyways, but this lay flat hot water bottle is a life changer for those cold red eyes!

https://amzn.to/3kn21VQ

For part 3, these are my luxury items when I travel.
1) foldable yoga mat. So nice for gross hotel floors.

https://amzn.to/3bAHGse

2) USB diffuser and humidifier. My favorite essential oil is GRAPEFRUIT! It’s such a happy smell.

https://amzn.to/3bG4TsK

3) silk eye mask. I literally CANNOT sleep without one. It’s good for the skin and my sleep.

https://amzn.to/37NgNAd

4) silk pillowcase: this is here people think I’m extra but come on! It takes up barely any space at all, makes my skin and hair happy and it feels so luxurious. Sometimes hotel sheets are so rough.

https://amzn.to/3bCwHOT

5) resistance bands w a cute travel bag. You can get a great work out in any hotel room!

https://amzn.to/3sqkofn

6) aquafor. We wash our hands hundred of times a day and airplane and hotel soaps are THE harshest. Most of our hands are bleeding by the end of the day. Aquafor works for my hands, elbows, feet and even dry lips!

https://amzn.to/3bAh5eI

7) everyone needs a good packing cube set. I even have one w a jewelry organizer and a cord organizer. It’s amazing!

https://amzn.to/3kkeQQG

8)who doesn’t have an adorable pill bag? When you’re traveling as much as we do, you have to always be prepared. Pack some imodium , emergenC, laxatives, Benadryl, NyQuil, hangover remedies, etc. you have to be prepared for it all!! Just remember if it’s a prescription, make sure to carry it in the right bottle that’s labeled and make sure it’s not an expired prescription.

Eggplant

Eggplant are one of those veggies that are a little intimidating and underrated! They have so many health benefits and can also been changed to do just about anything! They make a great main course as well as sides and appetizers.

This eggplant caponata recipe can be used as a dip, a bruschetta, a side dish or a sauce to go over fish, chicken or meat. It's a chunky, hearty and healthy!

Eggplant curry is so simple and easy. It's full of flavor and filling, not to mention it's gluten free, vegan & cheap! AND it only has 8 ingredients!

Produce

1 cup Bell pepper
2 Eggplants, medium
5 cloves Garlic
1 cup Onions

Canned Goods

1 14 oz can Coconut milk
4 tbsp Yellow curry paste

Baking & Spices

1 tsp Paprika, smoked

Nuts & Seeds

2 tsp Cumin

Eggplant Puttanesca is a healthy and simple way to get a little spicy, sweet and savory filling meal.

These are all the ingredients you will need:

Olive oil (or use water for water sauté )
Onion
Eggplant
Pasta sauce (make marinara sauce or use your favorite)
Olives (kalamata, green or medley)
Capers
Red pepper flakes
Pasta (penne, rigatoni, rotini, elbow, etc.)

This eggplant lasagna recipe is VEGAN!!!!
It's a perfect replacement for everyone's favorite comfort food. Healthy, tasty and filling are my requirements for a good dinner. I love this version of a classic recipe.

Eggplant roll ups are fun as an appetizer, a side or a main course. They are already in individual serving sizes! It's easy to make this vegan by swapping the ground turkey to a plant based meat alternative.

Another thing to check is how much sugar is in the pasta sauces. That is a sneaky way to add in bad sugars. Definitely don't forget to read the labels before choosing the best sauce.

Stuffed eggplant is a unique way to make eggplant the main course.
As with the previous recipes, you can make this vegan by replacing the meat with a plant based meat substitute.
This stuffed eggplant recipe is also hearty, filling, savory and healthy!

This Chinese Eggplant Stir fry recipe is:

* Vegan
* Spicy
* Flavorful
* Garlicky
* Delicious
* Satisfying
* Quick & easy!

Creamy Coconut Eggplant Curry is a lot more simple than it looks! The ingredients are:
1 large eggplant, cubed
3 tablespoons coconut oil (or olive oil)
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (13.5 oz / 400 ml) can full fat coconut milk (I used BPA-free Natural Value)
Chopped cilantro

Vegan Eggplant "Meat"balls

In my health journey, "meat"balls where one of my saving graces. Not only can you pair them with a spaghetti squash and marinara, you can dip them in hummus for a snack of wrap them in a gluten free "tortilla" wrap with crunchy veggies and a healthy and tasty sauce!

Buffalo Eggplant Steaks as a main course!
This is SUCH an easy recipe.
Here is an easy healthy homemade buffalo sauce recipe:

hot sauce – I love Frank’s RedHot original flavor
ghee
lemon juice
garlic powder
cayenne pepper
paprika
salt
pepper
