Easy Recipes/packaging food to take with.

Theres hamburger helper,its cheap and it's good.Otherwise head to Wal-Mart they have a lot of single serving stuff.

 

When I cooked on my truck I bought a rice cooker steamer combo and used it to cook meats and vegetables stuff like that make stir fries. Walmart sells vegetables in bags that don't have to be frozen there in the vegetable section. The steamer is about 30 bucks and can cook a half pound of boneless chicken breast in about 30 minutes with some vegetables.

 

I like a crockpot personally. Throw a tyson roast kit in there for 8 hours on low while you sleep, and you got good food for a few days.

They sell slow cooker bags to put in the crockpot to make clean up non existant

 

Those roast kits looks good.

 

I don't have a fridge and only have a single burner electric stove.

I always have corn and flour tortillas with me, canned beans, mozzarella cheese, instant rice, canned broth, taco seasoning, sour cream and avocados for tacos, burritos and quesadillas. The cheese will last about 3 days as well as the sour cream.

Keep angel hair pasta and jars of spaghetti sauce, alfredo or tomato.

I also keep cans of progresso soup and saltine crackers.

Then there are cans of tuna.

Keep sliced bread and french loaf as well for tuna or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and for bread with the pasta or soup.

I also buy cream cheese for toast and jam in the morning.

Then there are apples, bananas and pears for breakfast. I also keep oatmeal and farina when I feel like cooking breakfast.

For condiments I have olives, hot sauce, salt & pepper, garlic powder and red chili flakes.

I also keep with me a small boiling pot and a non-stick saute pan.

Then there are the typical chips, peanuts and cookies which I don't eat much of but buy them anyway so that I don't have to cough up the exorbitant rates that truck stops charge to satisfy a sweet tooth every once in a while.

I do all that shopping at Walmart before leaving for a couple weeks on the road. I shop every 4 or 5 days and usually only have to stock up on a few of those items. I eat well and even lose weight without trying by eating as close to homecooked food as possible.

The tacos and burritos I make with the guacamole, spanish rice, refried beans, cheese and sour cream are really good and so is the alfredo pasta with olives and toasted garlic french bread. The soups are pretty good- I like the minestrone and tomato rotini by progresso. Sometimes I'll fry up the tuna first in some olive oil then add the soups to that for some protein.
