What's to Eat?

We certainly don't go hungry, by any stretch of the imagination.  With a bit of planning we eat about as good as if we were at home.

We forgo the trailer kitchen for the outdoor variety.  That kitchen is a bit more rustic but is much more roomy.  Equipped with a small BBQ, and 60,000 BTU dual burner stove, and a little butane burner, we couldn't ask for a  better set up!  The refrigeration is a bit more challenging and is where the fridge in the trailer comes in super handy.

Breakfast
What would you like?  Pancakes, sausage, corned beef hashed with poached eggs, breakfast sandwich or just plain ole cereal. A  bit of fruit and lots of cold milk and we have a good start to our day.

Lunch
This is a bit more blase as we are packing in a lunch, typically.  Peanut butter and jelly is a standard staple.  Dave, is a bit of a deviled ham fan, so he will pack in a small can of deviled ham and make up his sandwich on the spot.  Fruit, nuts, granola bars and even carrot/celery/radishes all make an appearance on the trail.  I would rather carry too much food just in case we get caught out on the trail late or longer than anticipate rather than run out and stumble on the trail  due to lack of fuel.

Dinner
Ah, what's for dinner?  So many options!  Marinated chicken tenders, flank steak, ribs all work fine.  The fresh green beans tossed with bacon bits and garlic herb wine marinade is outstanding. 

We bought a very small rice cooker so that we didn't have to rely on instant rice.  It has a vegetable steamer basket.  Oh my! It has become the indispensable kitchen tool for steaming up fresh veggies!  It works great for rice, too!  And yes, this tool is used in the trailer.  Electricity is required which can be challenging when we are camping without hookups.  Generator to the rescue!

I chuckle.  We are cooking in the same outdoor kitchen set up that we used while camping in a tent.  The difference is that we have a fridge with a small freezer which helps keep the food we brought cold without getting soggy (fridge powered by electric or propane), a very comfy bed (not standard equipment), and a place to pee in the middle of the night without having to unzip the tent fly and tripping over the tent stakes.  Otherwise we live outside. Life is good!
