i pre-cook as much as my freezer will hold. a meatloaf, 3-4 packages of cooked, sliced brisket with juice or gravy, chicken pieces, etc.
we like homemade beef vegetable soup, so i make and freeze that, too. i put it in a zip lock, gallon freezer bag and freeze it flat so it will fit.
i also hard boil at least 6 eggs.
we stay up late at night, so it's easy for me to cook something for the next day.
if you grill over coals, make twice as much and freeze for later eating.

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
I don't treat it any differently than living in our stick house...Since my wife and I both work during the week I'll prepare on a Sunday roasted or BBQ chicken, ribs, beef brisquet, chile, soup,baked potatoes, etc(not all of these of course,lol!)and have it during the week. All we do is heat up or make a salad & vegies and within 15-30 minutes have a great meal.
Depending on what kinda rig you have it's really simple to make sandwiches or whatever on the road with what was previously prepared and not have to much to clean up or throw away. Works for us
When on the road, breakfast is usually Cracker Barrel or Bob Evans
restaurants. Lunch is sandwiches. The evening meal is more than
probably prepared in the crockpot, anything from a small roast, to
chicken breasts. Try to keep it as simple as possible.

I full-time, so I eat whatever I feel like cooking. Much depends on what looks good at the local market. Last night was a beef roast. Tonight will be leftovers.

I feel like I have an extra hundred pounds on my feet. Wait, I do and he snores.
I do the same as TexasShadow, make up more everytime I'm cooking & freeze it in freezer bags. At Thanksgiving & Christmas I put together tin foil pans of leftover turkey, stuffing, veggies & gravy all together & freeze that.
I also buy the liquid Omega3 eggs because they take up so little room, saute up lots of mushrooms, add my seasonings/marinades to any meat & freeze it in freezer bags as well.
We use our old "patty stacker" to make & freeze the hamburgers.
I save up the extra packets of ketchup, soya sauce, dressings etc that come with our take-out food.
We buy juice cartons that have the screw tops on them, we pull off the tab, squeeze the box a bit, replace the screw top & freeze the juice. All of the frozen stuff gets placed in a seperate cooler which only gets opened once a day to get things.
We don't eat any different that we would at home, except it seems like Sunday dinner everyday!
I've done all the above and have learned to keep it simple stupid! Once in a while I will go all out and make chili, grilled chicken, steaks whatever..
Breakfast - make a egg casserole ahead of time in a disposable pan and it will last a family of four for three days.. just microwave each serving as needed. www.jimmydean.com
Lunch-always make your own sandwiches! or pre make tuna pasta salad or whatever kind of pasta salad, it keeps well.
Pretty much anything you can do at home you can do on the road depending on your rig...... get creative! I always find new ways to
save room and get a gourmet meal out of it if need be! Definately do all the chopping and freezing before hand.. helps out tremendously so you can have more fun with the family!
Happy trails.

We eat a little different. Try to cook outside more; so grill chicken, steaks, fish more than I would at home. Usually make up a double batch of sketti or stroganoff for having in the fridge for snacks, quick meals. Tend to buy good local fresh stuff when possible, so it depends where we are ie lobsters, shrimp, fresh cow, sausages at a good butcher. More sandwich meat, roasted peppers, etc. We don't like mediocre restaurants, so save going out for somewhere special, usually after a long dry spell.
