We recently found some great ingredients in a Caribbean market in El Paso, Texas! Then, of course, we had to find a recipe to try them out…. Caribbean Chow Mein!
This recipe comes from a vanlife couple, Robin and Dennis, we met while on the beach at Padre Island. We don’t usually do SPAM, but this was actually pretty darned good.
We were out of fresh lettuce. We did, however, have some red potatoes in the bin that needed eating. If you like potato salad and you like Greek salad, you’re going to love this!
While passing through Yuma, we went out to eat at a local Latin-American restaurant and one of the dishes we ordered was served with a small bowl of sofrito on the side. It was so good, we had to make our own!
If you’re not a person who travels by train, you probably haven’t heard about Railroad Sandwiches. They’re bready, meaty, don’t need refrigeration, and stand up to harsh conditions like squishing them into our backpack for a day hike.
We recently came across an interesting recipe that checks off lots of boxes for us: pasta, spicy, cheesy, and little bit of green that lets us pretend it’s healthy.
Fried Rice is always an option for our vanlife menu, and sometimes we just have that craving for some Asian comfort food.
If you don’t mind a lot of slicing, this is a great recipe! It has lots of different flavors, textures and spice that combine so satisfyingly on the palate.
This dish is really easy to make in the van, and we’ll often prep it early in the day before we go on a day hike.
We love to make hummus on the road. It’s easy and cheap and better than store-bought. But it’s Fall now and Ren saw a recipe for pumpkin hummus so we decided to make it with sweet potatoes instead.
We are Girl Hobo and Rusty (Ren and Troy), two greys who met on the Appalachian Trail. We started a life together, converted a van to travel and hike across the country, and we like to eat well. Now, we’re sharing what we’re learning on the road, and we’d love you to join us!
