Tips and Adventurers

Hello fellow adventurers,
I am some what new to the full time rv life style,although I have been a full timer for three years now, and I truley  would not change it.I love all the adventure that new people and places have to offer.
I have been cooking almost my entire life, and eating all of my life! I love to cook,eat,and travel!!

Do not be intimidated with cooking in or outside  your rv.Cook what you want! Yes, you can cook everything that you would normally cook in your kitchen at home.Inclueding those yummy desserts.Just keep in mind that you do not have the cold storage that you have at home,this can get tricky.
I would like to suggest a few things that you should have to make the best of your meals and time, as well as not adding a lot of weight to your travel's.

The first, is to make sure you have some type of grill,as well as a wok, aluminum foil,and normal outdoor cooking tool's.Just make sure that the plastic is not used around the heat.I really like the use of bamboo and metal utensils.Oh, the wok does not have to be a high dollar item.I have seen a few at yard sales,and thrift store's.Well..just keep an eye open for them.They are light weight and very easy to season and care for.
Ok, now that we have your tool box put together and on board.I think we should take a look at your pantry.I keep every thing that I used to use in my house,just less of it.Keep in mind that you will have access to food on the road.

That brings us to the fresh and healthy part of our travel's.I would incourage all to par-take in what's in season in the area that you are in.It really saves money,you don't seem to through out as much spoiled fruit,veggies,and meat.You may want to venture away from the standard grocery stores,and try the smaller local store's.Like, the meat/fish markets,vegetable and fruit stands,as well as the established local market's.I have found meat's at the smaller market's to be fresher and more flavorful.Try the local spice's as well.You don't have to use as much until you decide if you like it.So, maybe go to restaurant's that have old time favorites.Usually found by simply asking around.I found that if you are in a new area the local folk's are very willing to send business to the place's that they enjoy going to themselves.This helps to figure out what the local food's and spices are.

I would also encourage folk's to use olive oil,ground black pepper,and sea salt.The only things I don't cook in olive oil is eggs.Now that's just me.I have found that you don't have to use as much salt if you use sea salt, you still have the salt just not as much.The spices are very healthy and can help in many ways not just the flavor.They are good for you too.

I want to take a moment to make a few  things clear up front.
I'am a carnivor,I like butter,and I use salt.One thing to maybe keep in mind is that less is more.
Oh..ya do not want to forget the most important thing when you are cooking; LOVE that is needed to make a great meal at home or in your rv!Happy travels!!
