Back in the day, road trip food meant a bag of Doritos or Cheezits and a big bottle of Coke; that's all I needed and I was ready to hit the pavement. For better or worse, I'm much more particular about my snacks now and I look for something a little more nutritious and sustaining for my long distance trips. But at the same time, I'm not willing to give up big, fun flavors. Enter these tasty treats -- gluten-free, packed with veggies and whole grains, these crackers have enough protein to keep you going, but won't make you feel like a sack of sodium once you get to where you're going. But they're not totally angelic either -- they have plenty of showy flavors and rich cheesiness to keep your tastebuds interested.

<br />During the summer, my husband and I frequently take long-distance bike rides and these crackers provide a great source of fuel, making them perfect road food for bike rides as well as car rides.

<br />Note: for the sun-dried tomatoes, you can either rehydrate dried tomatoes in hot water for about 20 minutes or you can use marinated sun-dried tomatoes, but if you do, make sure you drain off as much of the oil as you can first.
