| Ok so I'm going on my first weekend barrel race without my mom (yeah i know... lol) I am taking food because I cant afford to eat out all weekend. I have a microwave and a plug in skillet and grill for my trailer. Please give some input as to what you guys do for food that don't eat out the whole time??
I was thinking cook like Thursday night and take a bunch of left overs (I have a fridge and will take ice chests) but I can't cook and take enough for 4 days. I mean I could but 0.o

Location: WI | I do a lot of hot dogs and brats on the grill. Lately, I like to get the mini kaiser rolls from Target and premake little sandwiches. They are easy to grab and eat with chips or whatever. |

| I like to take stuff for a good chef salad, rubens and then maybe some left overs. If you want to eat in the mornings you can bake some of those frozen biscuts and the country gravy packets that you just add water. Both can be finished in the microwave. I have also taken cooked ribs to heat up and make some pulled bbq'd pork and buns.
Have a great time!

| I don't eat concession stand food so I make meals ahead of time that just need to be heated up, no mess to clean up and easy. Taco salad, egg beater casserole, fruit, veggies, good deli meat for sandwich, hard boiled eggs, etc

Location: My own little world! | I like bagels because they are good for breakfast and for turkey/cream cheese sandwiches. I also like to make a chicken salad or egg salad sandwich mix that lasts all weekend. I don't usually plan to cook so I like to take easy things or pre-make things.
Hard boiled eggs, a salad mixed up, potato salad....
I have done the bacon and eggs thing for breakfast but I don't like the clean up and/or the heat.
And of course coffee and creamer. I don't HAVE to have breakfast but I have to Coffee.

Location: west of East Texas | You're going to Waco, right? We always hit up the Target just down the road from the arena. We get some of the Jack Daniels pulled pork & chicken, some of the Hawaiin rolls and some grated cheese and make sliders one day. We also bring some deli meat and specialty bread and make fancy sandwiches. For breakfast we get the frozen breakfast croisant sandwiches, cereal, and bring some kolaches from our local bakery that I've frozen. My girls and I aren't big eaters but if we were I'd put something in a crockpot like I do at home. |

| I write down a meal plan. Breakfast can be english muffins done on the skillet with an egg and ham and mayo. Lunch is usually smokies/hot dogs or sandwiches, dinner, I will take frozen steaks as I can eat them on the 2nd day, chicken to eat the first night, then the last day is left overs. Salad, apples, chips, crackers, veggies and dip. |

| Make up a few breakfast burritos, then you can use the tortillas to also make a few turkey/ham/lettuce-whatever wraps. You can also pick up some big potatoes and do a loaded potato--can cook it on the grill, the skillet or the microwave. |

| It's still pretty warm right now, but when it's a little cooler, we cook almost all of our meals in the crockpot. We usually have several people running, and never know when everyone is going to NOT be running based on how fast the show is moving. With the crockpot, you throw it in, and by supper it is ready & people can eat whenever they want to.
Besides that, mostly cereal & sandwiches. |

Location: Tulsa, Ok | I like the pre-cooked bacon for breakfast and making BLT sandwiches. Also egg beaters are handy to eat scrambled alone or wrapped ina tortilla with cheese, salsa etc. Pre-cooked chicken strips are great for chicken taco salad or on top of a baked potato with sour cream and cheese. Lunch meat, chips, etc are the old stand bys. |

| I'd get a bag of the perdue perfect portions chicken. You get 5 pieces of chicken to a bag, and they are individually wrapped. Those are great to cook on a george foreman type grill/skillet if that's what you're talking about that you have. I'd probably do cereal, sandwiches, and those chicken breasts. Maybe even pick up a potato or macaroni salad to go with the chicken. |

Location: Colorado | Hard boil a bunch of eggs. Quick, easy snack or make egg salad.
Deli ham, cheese slices and torts. Roll and microwave for a nice warm sandwich or breakfast.
Pre cook chicken breasts. A bowl of cooked brown rice. Again nuke for a decent meal. Bagged salad and fruit. Munchies.
Do not forget salt, pepper, mayo and salad dressing. Use Zip lock bags for food in coolers. Take a few paper plates, paper towels to microwave with. Cutting knife, plastic silverware. Water, juice, tea. Tea bags and plastic jar for sun tea. Leave 1 or 2 bags of ice unopened in the cooler for drinks. A couple of trash bags.
Minimal mess, easy to pack and you should not have much left to bring home.
One trick for me was to set out meals at home so I remembered everything I needed. Sucks to have taco salad and no dressing, etc.. (not that I ever did that more than once)

Location: Texas!! | Stuff we have made in the electric skillet, fajitas is always easy! You can heat it all at the same time, onions, peppers, tortillas, I always put a lil olive oil on the meat. We have sautéed fish or shrimp in the electric skillet, they cook super fast. Hamburger patties are easy too. Pretty much all breakfast foods, eggs, bacon, sausage. You can cook just about any thing in the electric skillet. In the toaster oven I cooked the thin breakfast pork chops the shake n bake style...( just use baggies for preparing and foil for cooking, make clean up easy, turned out really good! |

Location: MD | If you have a microwave, you should get those prepared meals that you freeze and then heat, like lean cuisine?! Or lots of ramen. I could eat those bad boys all day long.
You could also prepare meals in advance and just warm them up in the microwave or grill? Hello chicken Alfredo, steak and cheeses, and pork tenderloin sammies! I've learned I can pretty much survive off of a grill, you have plenty of options here! |
