Some of our RV-Dreams Family members have suggested that we do a cookbook made up of recipes from the RV-Dreams Community. So we are making that happen. Anyone can contribute up to three* of their favorite recipes online between now and February 28, 2008. We are trying to get 300 recipes. Linda wil...

I've searched here in this thread and didn't see anything on this. My question is: Do you keep your stove cover on, so you can use it for traveling or do you just take it off and store it? Frankly it is a pain in my behind to keep opening and closing it, and when it's open then I can't get to my knves or spice r...

Living alone and eating smallish size portions, I buy organic meats, dairy & produce. I also cook just about everything from scratch, so I don't buy many processed foods at all (the exception being my Jif Peanut Butter & Wheat Thins!). I'm used to shopping at a local food co-op, plus Earth F...

I just have to share my peanut butter marshmallow recipe. It's certainly not exclusive to RVing....could be done in a regular kitchen or over a campfire. No matter where you do it, be sure to invite me! Melt 1/2 cup peanut butter and 2 tablespoons butter in a pot. Stir in a bag of large marshmallows....

If you haven't heard of Evert-Fresh Green Bags, they are a reusable storage bag for fruits and vegetables that will extend the life of your produce by 3 to 10 times longer. And they really work! When planning as a current "wannabe" for our FTRVing, I originally thought that the Green Bags...

Have of you, who have Suburban gas ovens, had problems with these ovens? We have had ours worked on twice and now will be going in for the third time. It is extremely difficult to light and and then goes out completely in the middle of baking. We are so frustrated with it, we are ready to have it ripped out.

Does anybody know a good source of information on how to use the convection microwave? We have both the oven and the convection/microwave and I want to be able to use either of them. I read this post on cooking with the oven and the use of the cooking stones etc. to even out temps. but I need more informat...

Because of a stupid mistake I'm not even going to discuss, I now have a crack in the corian cover over the stove top. Is there some way to repair it? Thank you, Brenda

How many of you use a toaster oven instead of a regular toaster that just handles bread and pastries? What kind do you use and why do you like it? A toaster oven seems to make more sense as it handles a variety of foods. Like warming a slice of my DW's home-made apple pie

After reading numerous posts on numerous forums, I bought a Food Saver at Costco yesterday. I haven't opened the box yet. I guess I'm still trying to justify purchasing it. I've gotten along just fine with ziploc bags all these years and probably could continue to do so. The only purchas...

A few days ago I came across an article in the Chicago Tribune about several web sites that permit you to order prescription glasses. The cost savings are mind boggling. I saved $150 over the price at Costco. Wow. Rather than make this a plug for a specific company, if you go to glasseyes.blogspot.com y...

Anyone have any hints to keep the frost from building up in the freezer and back of frig? I know I have been spoiled over the years with a frost-free frig but it looks like I should defrost every couple weeks. Which, of course, I do. HAH !!!!

Does anyone have any ideas for ways to protect the walls around the stove from spattering grease? Several reps I've asked have suggested mounting plexiglass over the wallpaper, however in a previous rig we tried standing plexiglass along the side wall and it melted! It would be...

A couple years ago I succumbed to marketing pressures and bought my DW a new slow cooker. That was mistake #1. Mistake #2 was selling the old crock potcooker that worked very, very well. Mistake #3 was replacing the second (read lousy) slow cooker with a high tech looking unit from Cuisinart that imm...

I'm curious about ya'lls shopping habits. we use a lot of fresh foods so I shop often during the month. I keep a running list and just pick up what I need. Linda currently at Rainbows End, Livingston, Texas

I have been trying to decide which kind of dishes to bring with us. We are going to be full-timing as soon as we sell our house. I love to cook and I love dishes. I know I can't bring all my dishes with me, (I have 6 or 7 sets of dishes). My question is which kind of dishes do you use. Plastic, Corelle, Glass or pa...

Does anyone here use the new Direct Foam product by Dawn to do their dishes in their RV? When I cook I use a lot of pans, knives, utensils etc. (Sometimes there’s not a clean pan left in the kitchen.) At home it's not a problem washing them in our sink after a meal. (I wash our dishes, glasses, s...

Today was an awesome day of starting to actually buy some of the 'wish list' items for our motorhome. Since we are 6-days and counting from picking it up, we figured we better start down the list. I guess we are realizing this is actually going to happen!! We have our eye on this grill at Lowe...

I am not sure if this is the right category for this question, but I was wandering if they make good efficient wine coolers for RVs. We love our wine and when full timing we plan on continuing our love of wine. I know we will not be able to age wine while traveling, I just cannot imagine that working in a t...

I have recently become fascinated with Dutch Oven Cooking! I have a couple of questions.

Do you have to use a Dutch Oven with feet on it? I have a old cast iron DO that I use in the kitchen, it has no feet but it does have a flat lid. It has a wire handle with a notch in the center and it is well season...
