I used to hate trying to eat my lettuce before it turned to goo until I discovered sprouts. A friend turned me on to them years before I tried it myself, but I bought some sprouting trays and 5lbs of alfalfa seed. I place some seed in a layer on the bottom of a tray, wet it, and in 3-4 days the tray is packed soli...

Is it possible to have a garbage disposal in an RV?? I mean I know it's possible to install one, but will it cause problems?? I can do without a dishwasher, but I'd really love a garbage disposal!! We're going FT and will have our new "home" in about a week!!

I am NOT the cook in the family, but Laura asked me to post this for her...One of the first items we purchased for our RV was a non-stick folding electric skillet.

Has anyone taken cooking classes as you visited different areas of the country? I have a disability that hinders me from doing a lot of outdoor activities so I thought this would be a great way to experience local culture. If you have done this how do you find the classes?

Okay folks, I have a convection microwave in my brand new RV. We've been full-timing for almost a month now (this is our first RV experience, and we're on the road for a year), and I've tried to make frozen pizza twice now! Both times I used the convection feature. The first time I put the cardboard cir...

Two years ago I purchased the Breville 650 based on all the amazing recommendations from all of you. I use it every day And I LOVE it.

Did any of you bring along your stand mixer (kitchen aid, etc...)? I just got mine in Feb and use it quite often. I was considering selling it and getting a really good hand mixer, but the thought of parting with it is hard. It's really bulky and heavy, so I don't know if it's smart to keep it. Thanks

Won't be a factor on the road... We realize th...

Is it my imagination, or was there some conversation about a crockpot cake at the rally potluck? I thought I saw something about a cake everyone was raving about, but I can't find anything now either here or on the RV Dreams Journal. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
