Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Agree with Bill regarding leftovers. Another simple favorite if we don't have leftovers are the easy skillet dinners from the freezer aisle at the grocery store such as PF Chang's or other prepared foods I don't normally buy but are simple to make. We've also found some really good, microwaveable dinners at Trader Joe's in the freezer section. Again, not something we buy very often but works well for meals on the road.
I make Shredded Pork in the crock pot and then have it for our lunch stops. We have a generator and a few minutes in the microwave with the genny on and a warm hot lunch is ready. I also pre make some potato sald or cole slaw and have that as well. It will last easily for the couple travel days !!
Leftovers. It's very common for us to do a crock-pot of something the day before travel day (unless we are dry camping) so we have an easy meal for the next couple days after landing someplace.
Alie does a stir fry with the leftover meats. Cuts them into bits size pieces, scrambles an egg and chops it into bit sized pieces, adds a frozen vegetable mix, precooked rice, and covers it for 10-15 minutes. Seasoning to taste, your choice of whatever, we like the traditional soy sauce, Srircha sauce, zesty Italian, or some off the wall stuff she makes. It's simple, quick, and easy.
.....seriously, we don't travel much with our RV and when we have, we stopped and set up in an RV park or campground. However, in the last few months we have made a trip from Colorado back to Oklahoma and twice to Idaho. If possible before hand, Jo fixes up a meat salad (ham salad, turkey salad, chicken salad) mix and we take that along in our vehicle, especially if we decide to make the trip all in one day. A quick stop for fuel allows us a few minutes to throw together sandwiches with the meat salad, and perhaps some chips from the convenience store where we fill up.
