Trucking Style Meals

There are times I actually cook full meals on the truck, but not that often. After I've driven for 10 1/2 to 11 hours, I'm too tired to do a lot of cooking. The microwave is my friend, even though I often carry a hot plate, an electric skillet or my NuWave oven. We have a toaster somewhere on the truck.

This was our weekend brunch. A treat since we got a motel room. Actually more than a motel, it's an Inn and Suites in a very hot place. Yuma, Arizona. It would have cost us as much to run the truck for the weekend. We have a generator, but it's been our experience that it can't keep up with the heat in this part of the country.



A taste of summer, as sweet as watermelon. An orange I picked from a local tree, some tomatoes, and grapes round out the fruit. Toast, cereal and sausage tasted scrumptious. The kitchen here came with glass and silverware.

Normally we grab a sandwich, some chips, and something sweet. Sometimes a truck stop meal, or soup. I love some of the packaged meals like the "Complete" chicken and dressing. I try to keep fruit handy to snack on, but a few days is usually it.

Did you know a banana or an apple is 89 cents in a truck stop. Had to buy shampoo one day it was almost $9.00 and it wasn't that big of a bottle. Medicine or necessities are out of sight. I try to bring everything we need from home, but that makes for a storage problem.

2 small electric coolers hold the extra's that can't fit in the rather big small fridge we have on the truck. We don't use them too often, because they drain the batteries when we are sitting still.

Just remember if you see my truck in the Granny lane, call the Cops it's been stolen.
