    Can't you get your inspiration from browsing the shelves? That's what I do.

    I do try to meal plan CY.  Inspiration is needed due to the restrictions of the cooking facilities in the van.

    I'm with Cyberyacht on this... browse the shelves and see what there is.  I keep a very basic store of goodies in the van and buy fresh ingredients as we go.  OH isn't keen on planning meals when on holiday, as she hopes we might find a nice pub or restaurant
    to have a meal.

    We don't go away at bank holidays (and never use internet in the van),  but I'm making a paella for dinner.  It's Jamie Oliver's chicken & chorizo recipe, and a great 1-pan meal for cooking in the van.

    Depends  very  much  on  those  Facilities,  Catherinef.

    Most  of  us,  towers  &  m/homers  alike,  probably  have  two  or  more  gas  rings,  possibly  a  grill  and/or  oven  and  a  work  surface  on  which  there  may  be  a  microwave,  halogen  oven,  Remoska,  electric  hob  etc  etc.  all  of  these 
    variables  will  give  you  endless  variety  in  your  diet  Laughing.  So  just  go  for  something  different  for  your  meal  ==>  some 
    have  cooked  ( & boasted  about  !}  full  Christmas  Dinners  others  settle  for  toasted  Spam  butties  &  a  gottle  of  geer  !

    Whatever  you  choose  please  tell  us  --  we  are  dying  to  know  !!

    Pork fillet, sliced into medallions.  Saute in a bit of oil for 4 mins.  Turn pork over, then add some sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 4 mins.  Add a tablespoon of brandy, then cook for a couple more mins.
     Stir in some single cream and a teaspooon or so of wholegrain mustard. Season with salt and black pepper.  Heat through, then serve with new potatoes and veg of your choice.

    Very easy, very tasty and you should be able to get all ingredients between Morrisons and the farm shop Smile

    A very kind invitation but a bit far to come despite your equally tempting avatar.

    We had fillet steak served with roasted vegetables seasoned with salt, pepper and rosemary.  All done in one roasting dish and a frying pan so not a lot of washing up either.  Happy
