I am an avid cook👨‍🍳 and love to prepare meals for Ginny and me when we are at our Home-base. We are also avid RV enthusiast and travel the greater USA.🇺🇸 I wanted to be able to bring my Home-base recipes with me on the road. But cooking on an RV has its challenges.

This video series dedicated to cooking technics and shortcuts to make serving meals on an RV easier. You don’t have to sacrifice favors and special meals just because of you on your rig.

Join me for recipes and our travels snippets on “Road Tested”.

Hey there fans of vegetarian meals as you travel, here is your recipe. My wife enjoys a break from the meat every other day menu that typically happens on this rig. Simple, quick, tasty, fresh ingredients and easy to prepare on an RV is this. This is a perfect excuse to visit the local farmer’s markets to pick up the ingredients we need for this recipe and the next couple of days. You can always find some fresh greens maybe even the mushrooms. The perfect accompaniment to this sandwich is a warm bowl of Tomato soup.
