Which spices do you take with you?

Not too difficult. Which spices do you use most frequently at home. If your trip is long enough that you want to cook your favorite things, take those spices. If you have some galangal or blachan that you bought for a special Indonesian dish that you tried one time, leave it home! I personally have nearly all the spices necessary to cook the food of many different countries. If you want to cook the way I do, spices are essential, but then again, this is my home.

Choose Cooking Pans Carefully:

If you are planning for the RV lifestyle in the future, or if you are living in your RV now , you can continue to eat well by :

• Asking your husband or wife to attend a cooking school

• Using a caterer who delivers to RV Parks

Seriously though, what you can do is have the best tools for preparing the best, most wholesome food in your RV home. 

If you already  have quality  pans of the right size for your new lifestyle, that’s perfect. On the other hand, if your pans are better suited for large family meals, or just worn out, give them away,  sell them, or throw them away.  Replace them with the right size for your new lifestyle.

My husband is a wonderful cook and his favorite pans are Anolon Advanced Pans:

• Anolon Advanced Sauce Pan with Lid - 3 Qt.
• Anolon Advanced Skillet 10"
• Anolon Advanced Sauce Pan with Lid 1.5 Qt.
• Anolon Advanced Skillet 8"

Whatever sizes you choose, you will be happy utilizing your space efficiently. Limit the frustration of emptying extra pans out of your oven before you can bake, or moving 3 or 4 pans out of your way to access your favorite one to prepare a simple pasta dish.

Optional items for your RV kitchen

• Bread Maker -  I have been using my  bread machine for about 5 years and love it.  We are also fond of crusty European style breads so I use the machine for mixing and kneading. Then I shape by hand and bake in the oven with excellent results. The oven baking does require some attention, but I don't mind as most of the time I can not buy bread as good as what I bake. The biggest problem is restraining ourselves from eating too much.  I would recommend a bread machine only if you plan to use it frequently because  it requires some of your precious storage space.
