Food on the road

Uno at the stove

Here is another installment of food on the road...

Early on, I wrote about the modern conveniences of living in an RV. One of the things people ask is about food, cooking, and meal planning. As you can see above, we have all the modern conveniences of home, in a more compact space. We even have built in slave, minion labor, that help with the day to day meal preparation.

We love to cook. In particular, if you ever met me, I like to eat! Uno, loves to cook and is quite accomplished at the young age of ten. She can cook a great omelet, and has learned many skills from her mom. She even cooks one dinner a week for the family with the assistance of Jen or myself.

When buying for a family of six, prepping, planning, and storage all begin deeply important. For one, we need to make sure that we buy enough in advance so that we can keep from running to the store everyday. We also have to get creative in sizes. We have found that half gallon milk containers are better to buy simply because their shape is more conducive to our storage needs and limited space.Thus, we have learned by trial and error what we can buy so that it meets our needs yet isn't so bulky preventing proper storage. 

That certainly doesn't mean we eat every meal at home. As a traveling consultant on the road, we have the ability to splurge a bit. Just this weekend, we celebrated my brother's MBA at one of his favorite restaurants, Fogo De Chao. Needless to say, it was an exquisite display of never ending meat! It was a lot of fun, great tasting, and enjoyed by all.
