Yesterday I mentioned that we usually cook all of our meals when we stay at my Mom's Time Share Resort.  While those suites have fully equipped, albeit small, kitchens most motel rooms barely have a microwave and a refrigerator.  So how is it possible to "cook" in one of those?  Here are a few suggestions:

Serve wraps instead of sandwiches. Using a tortilla instead of bread not only saves packing space, but it also minimizes crumbs. And tortillas aren’t as likely to get squished as a loaf of bread is.

Everything from bowls to knives can be bought in a disposable form nowadays. While you may not choose to use these items at home they may be the perfect solution to washing your dishes in a bathtub that has been used by many different people.

For a fun treat serve breakfast cereal in plastic bags with a cup of milk to drink. You might even “splurge” on the sugar kind.

If you have a microwave you could just serve TV Dinners to everyone, but keep in mind that you will probably be limited to only warming one at a time. This could make dinner time last an hour or longer.

• Here are some alternatives:
  • Baked Potatoes complete with butter, sour cream, chives & bacon bits
  • Fry some bacon for BLT’s
  • A Family Pack Frozen Meal. These come in a variety of microwaveable choices.
  • Quesadillas served with chopped lettuce, sliced tomato, sour cream, guacamole, chopped green onions & sliced olives.  Most of these can be purchased pre-packaged or prepared ahead of time and stored in zipper top bags in your cooler.

What does your family do for meals on the road?  Leave me a comment and let me know.

Smooth Sailing!

Cans of soup, vegetables, etc. can be easily warmed up in the microwave. If you bring a slow-cooker, you can come in to a homecooked meal after a busy day of being a tourist.
