If you'll be riding through areas with stores I'd suggest pairing down your food supply to just what you need for the day. Typically I'll stop somewhere for lunch (roadside restaurant, fast food, etc), but also stop and get some dinner and breakfast items in the afternoon. I try to limit campsite cooking to boiling stuff so I don't have to clean up grease at the campsite. For a stove I just use an isobutane canister powered unit (MSR/GAZ/Snowpeak/Others); light, compact and easy to use. Also try all the food you expect to eat in camp before your trip; you'll be amazed at how some things taste good at home when easy to prepare and clean up, but taste horrible when prepared at a campsite. Example: If you've never had Spam, try it both raw and cooked before you take it with you.

Have fun! These days I enjoy credit card touring (Hotels/motels at night), but I don't hesitate to do a day (or two) of outdoor camping if needed to make a complete trip.
