I can't begin to pass on her knowledge and expertise here and she's not one for blogging, but I can say that she did a lot of internet research and found a wealth of information on the subject from many websites, including Pintrest, Coleman, KOA, and many others found by Googling.

This allowed her to devise menus and to plan meals for entire trips. some of those meals were prepared ahead of time and frozen, bagged, or otherwise stowed wherever space in the rig could be found.

And it worked very well with very little actual cooking involved, just warming things up in the microwave or sometimes cold meals and sandwiches, all prepared in minutes. Once in a while we indulged in what some would classify as junk food, but for the most part she made good, nutritious meals.

She worked hard to make all that happen, but her plan worked great and saved a lot of time and labor on the road and we still had good meals!!!

I forgot to mention that the Mrs frequently used a kitchen device call a "Hot Logic" to warm up or cook some of our meals. If you Google "hot logic" you'll see they are rather simple warming/low heat cooking devices that operate off 120v current, but we used a 12v DC to 120v AC inverter to "cook" meals while on the road. An hour or so before lunch or dinnertime she would get up and put a pre-prepared meal in the hot logic, plugged it in, an went back to her co-pilot duties. When we eventually stopped the hot meal was ready!

I don't know how many Wegmans grocery stores there are across the USA but I know they are in a few states.


They have wonderful prepared uncooked meals you can buy.
My wife picks out 4 or 5 of our favorites and throws them in the freezer.


We usually stop for dinner around 5 or 6 PM for the night.


I pull over around 3:30 or 4:00 PM. We light the propane oven, pop two delicious meals in the oven on a heavy baking tray so they don't slide around. Then I drive on. In an hour or so we stop at our desired stop for the night. The main course is ready, make a fresh salad, and pop a good bottle of wine.
Some of our favorites are the Beef Wellington, pecan encrusted three cheese chicken breast, Chicken cordon blue, The Rolled stuff sirloin steak, and many more. Try them you will really like the experience.
