Hey everyone......... I am new here and I am looking for meal suggestions and or recipes for what I feel is a difficult chore. You see, my boyfriend is an OTR truck driver and is only home on the weekends. He is doing good by not eating out but maybe a few times a week but the rest of the time he is eating sandwiches. I know that can get old and I am not sure what to do. I want to provide him with some good meals but what kind? He does have a cooler on the truck and he can use microwaves at the truck stops.

Thanks in advance for any help you can lend,
AlliD

there!

There are so many things you could make and then wrap up individually as frozen entrees and store them in those Glad containers or what-not.

I saw on Good Eats, where he made homemade mac and cheese, and then with the leftovers, breaded squares of them cut out of the casserole dish, dipped them in bread crumbs, and then deep fried each square. Looked delicious and yummy! You could try something like that, so you could get the most out of making a huge casserols, kwim? HTH!!

Thanks Erin. I will share this with him while he is here this weekend and see what we can come up with.

I always make larger dinners and them freeze them in gladwear for reheating later. If he has access to a microwave then you are in good shape.

Stuffed Peppers
Pepper Steak (Chinese Vegies over rice)
Lasagna
Roast
Sloppy Joes

And the list goes on.. if you can freeze it I would do it

Let me know if you want any of these recipes

What about making a bunch of breakfast burritos? You could make them, wrap them in saran wrap then foil and then freeze them. That way when your boyfriend is ready to heat one up he could take off the foil and leave the saran wrap on it to keep the tortilla soft while it's heating. This would also work with regular burritos as well.
