Cooking is one of my favorite things to do when I have family over. Getting everyone together in the kitchen to eat a hearty meal that I (with some help, of course) cooked mostly from scratch. It’s one of those things that never gets old.
When you’re traveling with your RV, you have limited space and cooking for everyone is a chore. Sure, we can buy all the newest gadgets and space-saving kitchen necessities, but that doesn’t help the fact that you’ve only got a limited amount of space in your RV’s kitchen. I enjoy cooking too much to give it up, so I make it work.
There are plenty of recipes out there that only involve 3-4 ingredients, which leaves more space in the fridge and freezer so you can take longer trips and have to visit the corner store less frequently. Here are a few of my favorite recipes that are a space- and time-saver. Try them out and let me know what you think!
Nana’s Quesadillas
1 small onion, chopped
1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
10 flour tortillas
Place a handful of onions and cheese in the center of a flour tortilla. Fold over and secure with toothpicks. Fry in melted margarine on both sides until golden brown.Optional: You can add shredded chicken on top of the cheese and onions to make chicken quesadillas.
Nana’s Crisp Chicken
4 chicken breasts, halved, skinned, boned
2 eggs, beaten
Crushed corn flakes
Dip the chicken breasts in the eggs, then roll in the crushed corn flakes until well coated. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray, place chicken on it and bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. Double check the temperature with a meat thermometer. 170 degrees internal temperature!
These are just a few of many recipes out there that are perfect for making when you’re on a campsite. What’s your favorite?
