cant have enough recipes,keep them coming

LOL, careful what you ask for --- just did a quick check and if I don't add any more (highly improbable considering I get the ebooks free) I have another 400+ recipes specifically for being made with an Instant Pot and more than 700 other cookbooks (most geared toward simple/camping/prepping/etc --- ie. 3 ingredient recipes, aluminum foil cooking, etc.) so have a "few" recipes that can be used/modified/??? by members here.

Because it is so versatile (including capable of making cheesecakes and yogurt for instance) I prioritize it's use while using "alternative" power (solar) to charge/maintain the batteries of the devices I'll be using that/those days.  Also, when I was mobile before the "longer" cooking time recipes were made when/while traveling several hours to my next site or when parked with at least electrical hookups.  I should probably mention, the first time I went on the road, I encountered early the "results" of not regularly running your generator under load so was/am not shy about using one (not always the one supplied/attached to the motorhome by the manufacturer).

Note: When I was mobile before, it was in  a 26' 1986 Coachman class C and I did not do a lot of boondocking/dispersed camping so it's higher power needs were not that noticeable/of concern for me.  This time, when I return to being a nomad, I plan on doing more so will probably be more conscious of the "drain".
