I’ve made a few videos showing how I cook in my small RV kitchen using my top 3 “must have” appliances: a Cuisinart mini food processor, 3 Qt Instant Pot Duo Mini, and Vitamix blender. I cook daily on my three burner propane stove top and in a propane stove. I also have a microwave and Weber Q1000 propane grill, but I don’t use them very often. We’re actually considering converting the microwave to a convection oven/microwave combination.

In this first video, I make three recipes using potatoes as a central ingredient: a large batch of soup that we can have for a lunch a few days, potato salad for a side dish one day during the week, and a lentil shepherd’s pie for dinner that night.

In episode 3 I make Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles and a Coconut Cream Fruit Salad.
