RV Cooking Show - RV Kitchen Pantry Items & Great Grilling

Greetings campers,

It’s official…summer is here…and you know what that means…grilling season is upon us! Many of us can’t wait to pack the camper, set up in our favorite RV park or campground (found at Go Camping  America, perhaps?), break out the grill and kick back. Several of you have written asking me about what I pack in the RV Cooking Show kitchen. We’ve already seen what pots and pans I like have on hand, now we’ll talk about the eats.

In this episode I’ll give you a sneak peek inside my RV kitchen pantry and spend some quality time talking about what I find essential to carry with me in my RV kitchen cupboard. I’ve even developed a checklist that you can print out and make your own. You can find it here.
 
Once we get everything put away we’ll go outside and grill. On the menu today is a terrific grilled portabella mushroom "burger", amazing "stewed" grilled blue cheese tomatoes, and a potato chip salad. Watch this episode of my RVTV below and go ahead, try a test batch before you hit the road. I won’t tell!
 


Spend some quality time finding your perfect camping spot or picking up some helpful RV and camping tips on the tabs at the top of this page. 'Tis the season!

RV Cooking Show Goes Green

Don't let anyone tell you that RVers are not green. There's plenty of things we do to love our Mother Earth, our fellow beings, and the great outdoors. In this Earth Day RV Cooking Show episode we'll explore a few great things campgrounds and RV parks are doing to go green, ways we RVers save, and a few earth-friendly RV cleaning techniques. And of course, we've got a fast and fine dish for you to try. It's all right here compliments of the RVCookingShow.com and your friends at GoCampingAmerica.com.



Love the clean green concept but not sure what you should stock in your green cleaning kit? Give these few household items a place in your RV and you too can clean green:

Green Cleaning Kit

Baking Soda - cleans, polishes, deodorizes

Distilled White Vinegar - cuts grease, kills mold, deodorizes, does not stain

Castile Soap - natural, bio-degradable, plant-based soap

Borax - bleach alternative, cleans, deodorizes, disinfects (can irritate the skin and should not be ingested - by people or pets)

Cornstarch - cleans, polishes, deodorizes carpeting and rugs, removes grease stains

Toothpaste - a mild abrasive polishes

Lemon - antibacterial, fragrant, stain remover, bleaching agent

Olive Oil - nourishes wood, polishes

Essential Oils - disinfects, fragrant

Tea Tree Oil - antiseptic
 
By the way, green campers, several GoCampingAmerica.com campgrounds and RV parks have gone green. Look for this "Plan-it Green" logo next to their listing:
 
 

 
Happy Earth Day...cheers everyone!

RV Cooking Show Shares Pots and Pans Packing Advice + a Delish RV Recipe

All across the country trees are budding, flowers are beginning to bloom, birds are chirping…and RVers and campers are preparing for their spring/summer adventures. One of the great things about camping is that it can be as expensive or as frugal as you choose to make it. A big financial factor is food – will you choose to eat out or dine in? Chances are it’ll be a combo.

Don’t be caught unprepared to cook a terrific meal at your campsite – it’s easy, fun, can be a great family affair, and is definitely a dollar-stretcher. In this episode of the RV Cooking Show I’ll show you what pots and pans I bring along in my RV…and a few things I carry that I really don’t need. Print a nifty RV Pots & Pans checklist here!

After a walk through my RV kitchen cupboards we’ll prepare a simple and delicious RV recipe - warm tortellini salad that can be made in advance and that is terrific for picnics and potlucks. It’s a favorite in my RV and will be a tasty addition to the ‘Movie Under the Stars Potluck Party’ this weekend at the campground I’m visiting.

Stay tuned to the GoCampingAmerica blog – soon your RV Cooking Show friends will share how we stock our RV kitchen pantry and even offer a checklist for your convenience.

Excitement is mounting…find your perfect camping spot, pick up a few helpful camping tips, and get ready to enjoy the great outdoors - it’s time to Go Camping America!
