Advice on food to heat on the road?!

I did a google search for heater meals and found some for 4.00 each so I sent 2 cases out with hubby last time he was home. He loves them! He also has a "oven" and I sent chop suey, dintey more stew and they also make chicken and dumplings and beef and noodles, I sent whole canned chicken which is fully cooked, he put it in the cooker added some mixed veggies (canned) and said it was GREAT! I packed different veggies since he was getting sick of the truck stop stuff....chunky soups, madrian oranges, peaches, shelf stable milk for cereal.

Hubby hasnt got a fridge just a small cooler so the shelf milk is great comes in cartons the size of ajuice box throw in a couple at night ready for morning or whenever.

I also send those kool aid packets for bottled water, and gator aid, ummm of course cereal, crackers, ravioli, mircrowave mac and cheese .......if I think of more I will add it.

 

Uncle Bens makes the flavored rice that you can toss in a microwave at the truck stop for 90sec. cheap and filling.

 

I love hamburger helper. My g/f would fix up three or four of them and put 'em in those ziploc storage bins and freeze 'em until I would get back home. I'd take one into the truckstop, use their microwave and eat good and cheap for about a week on 5 or 6 containers of 'em.

 

Foil dinners and/or meals are also a great idea as well, and can be prepared far in advance. Just lay one on the engine manifold and 50 miles later you have a piping hot dinner!

 

Mmmmm...very popular to do in the 1970s. Good eatin'.

 

Pop an oil line and you get a nice marinade too! Tasty AND nutricious!

 

Nothing like a little Rotella and diesel to seal in the flavors.
