A Packable Wonder

Here's another idea that I think we all can use: food items that can be easily packed without worrying about perishability. I'm going to post some of my favorites under a "Packable Food" tag, and invite anyone who packs their own lunch from time to time (or sees their low-maintenance presenter eating something from his or her suitcase that looks tempting) to do the same.
Not to be a brand whore, but Healthy Choice (and potentially Marie Callender's as well) has released a new microwavable pasta dish that actually cooks up really well and requires no refrigeration. The "Fresh Mixers" taste decent, and while they do take up a significant amount of space and cannot be carried on (due to liquid sauce, LAME), chuck one in your suitcase or snag one at your local Target or grocery store. It's better than a frozen dinner, and surprisingly filling. They're around $3 a pop, but pretty nice to have on hand when you get to your middle-of-nowhere hotel only to find the restaurant closes at 8pm.
