At the grocery store they have what is called "sides" Knorr makes a few different ones. For instance under rice sides Cheddar and Broccoli lots of different ones easy to cook. Usually finds these things in store where you get rice and stuff. You can add anything to them. Example before you leave home cook some ground beef, drain off any grease, put in Baggie and place in ref. on the road take out one of your sides, cook that. Add ground beef and your sitting down to a nice dinner. You can get rotisserie chicken at store. Cut up what you want, freeze the rest ( at home). Bag up what you want to take and cook one the little bags of "sides" mix and match. Lots of stuff to choose from. Do you like Mexican ? Buy tortilla chips, salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese have your hamburger ready to go. Put chips on plate add warmed up hamburger, put on some salsa , cheese, sour cream you have a little fiesta going. There are boxes of things like Alfredo you cook on road, take along a few shrimp you prepare at home and it's Seafood madness night. Keep in mind you can't keep even cooked food in ref for long trips, but you can get canned shrimp, that will keep for a long haul. Hope these ideas help!
