    One Pot/Pan Recipes & Reviews

    One of my favorite one pots on a cold day is to saute some potatoes, carrots, mushrooms with a little olive oil. And some diced garlic and onion. Throw in some cube steak. Get that cooked then add 2 packs of brown gravy and water. Delicious hot stew.

    I've joined the fruigivore club

    The gallon jugs I have inside usually stay thawed. I keep the heat running when I'm not at work. Sometimes they freeze but its usually the chunky kind of freeze. Not the deep solid freeze.So far the fruits been ok. Its only been floating around 20 degrees lately so not too bad. I worry about the...

    I think I like the minimalist cooking aspect because I'm in the north. Its too cold to have water right now because it would just freeze. Before I would just make sandwhichs salads and put cans of soup on my buddy heater. Just having fruit lay around is pretty convenient. I'm about 4 weeks into...

    Rust proofing frame? Experiences?

    Plus when you go to resell your van people will be wary of anything that comes from our area for this reason.

    Rust proofing frame? Experiences?

    I live I Pennsylvania too. I highly recommend doing this. I've had rust problems in other vehicles but now every vehicle I get I spray the undercarriage. Its not expensive. Maybe a couple hundred bucks at most. I forget the brand name but there is this rubberized spray that comes in canister...

    Buy or wait on renogy lithium iron phosphate batteries

    I got 2 battle horns also. I feel you. The mighty max is 200 cheaper than BB and has solid bms and specs. I would buy it over the renogy battery. But I also didn't look at renogy's warranty. Renogy to me is kinda go in the cheap Chinese junk column. Its slightly better than chinese junk and is...

    I've joined the fruigivore club

    To all the pep asking questions. This is pretty new to me. I'm going to try it and see what results I get. I've done enough research that I feel this is the optimum diet. And it suits my van life lifestyle. Maybe down the road my mind will change. We will have to see what the results are. And...

    I've joined the fruigivore club

    From what I heard, the people that experience this do so because it's part of the detoxification process and if you stick with it your hair actually grows back healthier and fuller and in some instances I've seen grey hair regain color.

    I've joined the fruigivore club

    Changed my diet about 3 weeks ago to all raw fruit(with the exception of a chicken chipotle burrito) and I'm enjoying it so far. I like not having to do dishes in my van anymore or cook in it. It's a relief. Simplier.

    If you go without A/C, why do you?

    Cool. Im not the only weirdo who thinks like this. I think being closer to the elements is healthy too. Since. I quit A/C I get headaches sometimes if I'm in it too long, especially if I'm next to a unit. I was reading a book by a Harvard professor and he said being cold can help slow aging. He...
