Need ideas as far as food:

Look out boots! Not going for distance.....:smt078

 

Heck; roadkill opossum stew sounds better than that....

 

Eat what you like, for God's sake.

 

I likes me a good ole double Whopper w/cheese.

 

here's my shot at it

make a mustard vinaigrette.......
mix together 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or parsley
set aside,

in a bowl mix
a cup of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 cup of rinsed, great northern white beans
1 can light tuna, packed in oil, drained
1/4 cup pitted, sliced kalamata olives
1 sliced shallot or 1/4 of a small onion

1/4 to 1/2 a french baguette, cut into cubes.

to pack it for the road....
put the vinaigrette in one of those little round glad containers

pack the salad part in another bigger one. pack the bread cubes in a baggie. when you're ready to eat, throw the bread cubes in with the salad, toss in the vinaigrette and you're good to go.

it has good sources of protein and fiber, and not too many carbs to make you drowsy.

 

Need to look a little closer ...
sliced meatloaf on bread
left over turkey sandwiches (like at Thanksgiving ... yumm yumm)
left over pizza - always good cold and left over the next day
pre made sandwiches from Wally world are good and reasonable and huge!
how about Subway ... $5 for 12 in. sandwich
trail mixes
Lunchables

 

I gotta agree with ya on that.. a side of onion rings with the zesty sauce can't be beat either.

 

brb gonna throw up

Years ago running OTR I would run a 12Volt crock-pot and lunch-box stove ( http://www.google.com/products?q=12+volt+lunch+box+stove&hl=en&scoring=p http://www.google.com/products?q=12+volt+crock+pot&hl=en&aq=f )

As for a recipes:

Ham Stew

1 can french cut green beans (undrained)
1 can diced potatoes (drained)
1 small can mushrooms pieces and stems (drained)
1 small can Hormel ham (undrained and chopped up)

Combine ingredients (do not drain beans) in a small oven bag
Tie shut bag, place in aluminum pan and place in lunchbox stove
Cook 35-45 minutes, remove and open carefully, there could be steam.
If you don't like mushrooms, feel free to leave them out, they are not required.

Creamy turkey alfredo

Put 1/2 water in the bottom of the lunchbox cooker, use an aluminum pan and put your ingredients into a baking bag, like they use for baking chickens and turkeys.
1 jar alfredo sauce
1 can mushrooms drained
2 cups rotini pasta
1 cup smoked chicken or turkey cut up in chunks
Mix all ingredients in baking bag
put into aluminum pan
put 4 small slits in top of baking bag
bake in cooker for 2 to 3 hours until pasta is done

Check once or twice to make sure there is still water in the bottom of the cooker. Be careful because the steam can burn you. You can substitute the alfredo sauce with marinera sauce.

Seafood & Rice

1 box of spanish rice
1/4 pound of scallops
1/4 pound of shrimp
1/4 pound of hot It. sausage
Use the amount of water it says to on the box of rice.
takes about and hour to cook..

You can eat good with a little imagination.
