I'm still looking for that cookbook that will help me turn leftovers into a surf and turf meal. I like to experiment with taste when cooking. Other than the usual garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper, what are some of the spices that you use to that end? Preferrable ones that will go with most meals....

I enjoy cooking and do alot of it...as long as the DW cleans up. I've been using frozen vegetables for awhile, but I recently discovered the frozen steamable packages and was presently surprised at their taste. I even tried one of the breakfast packages the other day, and it was pretty good after I adde...

I have a 6 lb (2 rib) standing rib roast planned for dinner and since this is the first one I've had to cook in a convection oven, I could use pointers please. What temp? How long per pound for rare to medium rare? Favorite method/recipe? Thanks!

I happened upon a recipe website called Campbell's Kitchen (the Campbell's soup people). I've found quite a few recipes that I want to try, especially the quick & easy recipes with only 5 ingredients. Anyway, thought I'd share this with the other RV Dreamers who enjoy cooking (and eating)...

I'm not usually so obtuse when it comes to cooking, but I'm not a big fan of crockpots so mine tends to stay in the cupboard unless I'm boiling peanuts lol! About the corned beef, 1) do you rinse it before you put it in the pot (I know "they" say not to, to add juice and all but it makes me go "ic...

I've seen alot of good advice and ideas here but haven't seen any recipes (at least not in their own topic). Is there another area for exchanging recipes that I missed or is it just not done here?

Wondering what size crock I should get for the RV??? I currently have the large 5 qt. but it's too big for 2 people. I'm thinking 2 or 3 qt. for 2 pieces of chicken or sm. pot roast or turkey breast for Thanksgiving??? What size is yours???

Hello to all my RV Friends, I am heading out on my trial run for fulltiming,a six month workamping trip. I am very excited, until I look at all the stuff I still need to purchase.I need to buy this stuff with very little money, so I figured cookware was a good investment. I have the crockpot now what kind of...

OK since you all assisted so well on the smoke detector situation here is my next dilema.........the refrigerator.

We have a GE Profile micro-convection oven and both times i have used it I have been unhappy with the results. After reading the book I found out that the oven automatically lowered the temperature 25 degrees from what you set it at to adjust for the fact that it was cooking by convection. I had also com...

I am searching for cabinet/drawer pads made of foam instead of felt or hard rubber.

Those of you who are not going to be with family this thanksgiving, will you prepare a turkey in your RV? Our little ovens won't even fit the breast. I saw how you can roast your turkey in a trash can that was interesting. Deep frying is a bit expensive if you are buying all that Peanut oil for the sole purpos...

I just bought a new one. At first I thought it wouldn't be good to take when I go full time, then I realize it may be the perfect camping appliance. It blends, it chops, it mixes, it cooks, it grinds, it kneads, it freezes, it even cleans itself! Anyway I was just curious.

I am searching with no luck for a bakers rack type shelving unit to use when we are camping. Since we have a toy hauler I do not have as much kitchen space as some. I have a spot I could put the storage shelf when we are set up, but I need it to collapse when we travel. The items I would put on it have homes, but I...

We sat down and figured out a 2 week meal plan complete with a grocery list and posted it on our site. We even shopped the grocery list so we'd have a price for the items. Now keep in mind it's just a guideline and our tastes may differ from yours, but it may give you some ideas on meal planning while camping....

We have tried using our oven in our 5th wheel, it takes too long to preheat. I added a tile to even out the heat, still takes forever. I am not a fan of gas, so I bought a toaster oven to use. I would like to use the oven. Anyone else have problems with their oven????????????

I love cooking and being in the kitchen. I seem to be setting off the smoke detector every time I use the stove top and I do not understand why.

Was wondering how in the heck RV'ers are cooking their Thanksgiving turkeys? When hubby & I are out looking at 5th wheels & motorhomes and I open the oven I wonder...hmmm.. don't think I will be baking a turkey in there! I know there are deep fryers out there, and in my opinion they make one great...
