There is no doubt that some RV’s, especially smaller units, may have very limited appliances beyond a stove top and a microwave.  We’re fortunate that both our 5th Wheel and our travel trailer also have a propane oven and microwave. So between them all there is not much we can’t do.  Propane ovens are small, so there are restrictions to the size of things you can bake/roast. However, one year when we decided to cook a turkey for Christmas dinner we borrowed a large electric turkey roaster…perfection!

We have also discovered the value of using our microwave’s convection oven.   More recently we have added an air fryer to our repertoire of cooking appliances as well as an induction burner and our favourite appliance – the crock pot!  While they do take up room, all these devices allow us to cook some awesome meals as well as be more creative.

As food prices in restaurants climb, we are more and more inclined to stay home and cook our own meals.  Not only are we saving money but we’re also realizing how often we are disappointed with the quality of the food at many restaurants these days.  We don’t mind spending money for a really good meal, but when you walk away wondering why you paid all that money for a less than satisfying meal, you have to draw the line somewhere.

There are so many great meals that Linda prepares, many are very simple but awesomely good,  So, we have decided to add this section on some of our favourite recipes to our website.
