truck driver needs healthy easy food ideas

trudefaith

I am a driver and on the road for 5-6 weeks at a time. I am bored with my usual foods and looking for new ideas! I have a cooler and a forman grill and an electric tea kettle, but thats it.Anyone have simple healthy ideas? I don't use sugar and only a little meat ( not that I don't like it, its just hard to keep it fresh)

Not a recipe, but an idea. I was at a truck stop and saw a 1 1/2 quart 12 volt slow cooker. This could really open up some ideas. Search the forum for crock pot recipes and make them smaller. The sky is the limit!!

There's a pinterest board called "So Long Slow Cooker, Hello George Foreman Grill" that has some nice ideas. It's here:

Good luck! I know being on the road can be really tough on your body.

Myhusband goes snacky. Apples, cantelope, rice cake chips, pickles, cheese, protien bars, yogurt, v-8 one shot of vegi cans, turkey or peanut butter sandwiches.....and sometimes uses a thermos for soup and stew.

A lot of grocery stores (like Walmart) have premade food in the produce area. Not boxed or anything, but things like mozzarella stuffed portabellas or kabobs for fairly cheap. You could take a look sometime?
