Easy meals and kitchen utensils every trucker must know
For truck drivers, spending long hours on the road can make it difficult to find healthy and tasty food options. While eating at truck stops or fast food restaurants is convenient, quick, and easy, it can become monotonous and expensive. If you’re tired of spending money on fast food, consider cooking while you travel to save money and enjoy more nutritious meals.
5 roadside meals to prepare
1. Turkey and avocado wraps: These ingredients can stay cool in a portable cooler. To prepare this dish, all you need are whole wheat wraps, turkey ham, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and your preferred toppings. Simply place all the ingredients inside the wrap and wrap it up to enjoy a quick, delicious, and healthy meal.
2. Cold pasta salad: For this recipe, you’ll need a pot and an electric grill to cook the pasta. However, you can also choose to cook the pasta at home and refrigerate it to later prepare with all the ingredients in the truck. It’s very simple; all you need is pasta, chopped vegetables, and your preferred dressing. You can prepare this recipe with tuna, chicken, or pieces of ham.
3. Tuna: Canned tuna is extremely versatile and healthy. You can prepare a simple tuna salad by mixing it with vegetables like lettuce, spinach, and cucumber, along with a few tablespoons of mayonnaise. Another alternative is to mix the tuna with mayonnaise and serve it in a sandwich. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, you can wrap the ingredients in lettuce leaves.
4. Stuffed peppers: For this option, you’ll need a microwave or a grill. The ingredients are cooked ground meat, vegetables, and your preferred cheese. Simply fill the halved and seeded peppers with the ingredients, place them on the grill or microwave, and in a few minutes, you’ll have a delicious and healthy dish.
5. Chicken and vegetable skewers: If you have a grill, this option is ideal. By seasoning chicken pieces and adding vegetables, you can easily cook these skewers. Alternatively, you can choose to cook the chicken at home and heat the skewers in a microwave.
Kitchen tools for your truck
Every kitchen, even one in a truck, needs utensils and tools to make cooking easier. If you’re looking to improve your diet, save money, and stop eating at fast food establishments, here are three ideal tools for truckers:
Slow cooker – Slow cookers are perfect for truckers, as they are practical, affordable, and available in compact sizes. For truckers who don’t have time to cook at home, a slow cooker is an excellent option.
Microwave – The microwave is essential for cooking on the road. It allows you to prepare quick and easy meals, heat up snacks, cook frozen meals, and reheat leftovers. It offers various options for quick and simple cooking, and there are many available options to suit different space and power needs.
Electric grill – There are various types and sizes of electric grills, and all are easy to use and clean. Grills allow you to cook foods like chicken or meat, expanding your food options.
Though cooking in a truck can present challenges, there are options that allow you to maintain a healthy diet. Invest in your kitchen and take the time to prepare tasty and nutritious meals.
