  • My only suggestion for him is to pack lots of snacks! He might be turning to greasy foods because there are not a lot of options while he is on the road.

  • Squash (Pumpkin) Onion Carrots Potato Some split peas Whatever spices are on hand (e.g., garlic powder, roasted red pepper) and boil down puree with a hand blender Using the potatoe / split peas makes a nice hearty / healthy soup! Easy thing is you can add pretty much whatever you want (roasted veggies good too)
