I don't know about food, but it sounds like a slightly insane trip to
me... if I was your wife I'd be insisting on stopping for the night in
a motel (even a motel 6!) and then driving back in the morning. You're
talking about a 24-hour day here, which would be absolutely
exhausting...

As for food for the trip, when we travel I pack a bag with
non-perishable snacks. Some jellybeans or similar candies for energy,
nuts are good for protein, homemade or bought cookies, and some
crackers. Real food can be obtained from a store enroute - with a
drive that long you'll HAVE to make at least one meal stop on the way.
