rv meals

We just got back from almost 2 months out and I basically cook like I do at home. A lot depends on the weather,if its too hot,too cold or raining I do tend to use the crockpot more instead of cooking out. For breakfast if we are in a hurry to get off its cold cereal,instant oatmeal packets,or Eggoes.If no hurry its bacon,or sausage(either the heat and eat kind or cooked in the microwave)eggs,toast or muffins. If we are going to eat out we uually eat lunch,its cheaper and usually less crowded than supper. We also love to eat the local fresh produce. When we were in Or. we found a family run farm stand and ate fresh tomatoes,corn,cantalope,baking potatoes,squash and cucumber-yummy good stuff! For supper on the grill it was steaks,burgers,center cut ham slices,boneless chicken breast,pork chops and brats. I do use packaged mac & cheese,rice or noodle packaged side dishes and instant mashed potatoes. My hubby loves his ice cream so I always try to have room in the freezer for some or as soon as there is room for it I buy some. For the first day out I usually make ahead chicken or tuna salad and maybe a pasta salad for a cold plate then for sandwiches the next day. Its your second home so eat like at home and enjoy!

I know that this is an older thread but responding anyway

I LOVE my grill and use it for all three meals, if I can. I will also use the fire pit as an extra cooking surface.

If I am cooking chicken, I marinade it for a day or so, and then grill. I usually put the meat on the grill and the vegetables on the fire pit.

I get those small aluminum pans and put a thin coating of extra virgin olive oil. Basically, I stir fry them in individual pans. They taste AMAZING.

I have a Coleman nonstick griddle that I place on the lower level of the grill and cook the eggs on. The upper rack is the meat.

I will cook anything that I can, on that grill. It gets a workout on every trip!

Just thinking of this makes me want to uncover the TT and head on out.......

We do the morning brunch thing. Usually our typical two cups of coffee followed by cereal, oatmeal, or an blueberry pancakes. But something light. We then have what we call "Linner", a combination of lunch dinner. If we go out, it is usually around 3:00 pm. The atmosphere is better, and the price and portions are perfect. If I cook at the site, it is usually between 4 and 5 pm. Always, grill. Some type of marinated meat, a vegie, and a starch. Again, we try not to eat huge meals. Hey, but it happens

We eat pretty much the same in the RV as at home. We have lived in the RV for an extended period 3 time with the longest 51 weeks and it was life as usual. We may cook out on the grill a bit more.

A picture is worth a thousand words - Dinner next to a glacier in Alaska

Plus the food even tastes so much better with a vase of fresh picked Alaskan Fireweed and a view that can't be beat. My wife enjoys cooking when we travel so we rarely go out to eat.

Going to Alaska is my dream trip! Had never heard about the Fireweed and just looked it up. Wow, very pretty!! I think you're right about the view and the flowers! Food always tastes better, to me, when camping!

We also cook the same as we did at home. We're huge foodies so cooking is a big part of our day and RVing has allowed us to visit farms around the country and source some amazing ingredients (2 months ago we even drove the rig right onto a farm in N.Fl!). I've got a full sized mixer plus processor and just about every piece of kitchen equipment you can imagine. Made a most decadent flourless chocolate cake for New Years...still recovering
