I plan on snagging a few ideas from these posts and trying them. Thanks for the tips and information!
Packing List for Food:
Spices
Instant Oatmeal
Regular coffee grounds (see brewing below)
Snack bars
Dehydrated Fruit
Homemade Beef Jerky (re-hydrate for cooking and some flavor is added instantly to the food)
Wood burning cooking stove in addition to the gas burner system. I use this for slow cooking veggies and use the gas for water only. The gas burner does not disperse heat evenly and this is a backup if I run out of fuel.

Breakfast:
Coffee and instant oatmeal with dehydrated fruit
Lunch:
Always eat at a stop - overlook, abandoned gas station, etc. Usually eat a snack bar, fruit, or jerky.
Dinner:
Quick stop before heading to the campsite. I get water and food. Usually grab vegetables that are easy to cook at the campsite. This varies based on the day's temperature since it determines if I have a fire or not. I usually grab broccoli, avocado, ramen noodles, beans, or something in this category. Canned beans are easy to find in a low-sodium format. I usually grab beer at the closest gas station and ask if I can put a bit of ice in a cooler bag from their soda machine/ice maker or I carry some bourbon or whiskey.
Spices are packed in these containers. You can find the setup on Etsy for about $12 or make it yourself.

Coffee is important to me. I do not like the taste of instant coffee but do not want to carry anymore weight then needed. My wife and I came across this coffee filter when we were planning a trip to Iceland. It is weightless and works well. The key is to seep the coffee before finishing the pour (same concept as a french press).
