Smokepole nailed it. Think easy & quick for breakfast and packable for lunch. We make our sandwiches on bagels as they survive better in a pack. I make chili and spaghetti sauce at home and take it cold. Hate to brag, but these are good enough that we want two meals of each. Stew works the same if you make it right. No Dinty Moore allowed. Get some prime ribeyes for one dinner. Sounds like a good time in the making. I’m getting hungry just typing this!

Also, be sure not to forget a nice gift for your hosts to show your appreciation. A basket with smoked meats, good jerky and fancy nuts might be a good place to start for that.
