I’m going to make your cake recipe this weekend. It looks so good. I throughly enjoy your videos.
It's really good with a mocha butter cream frosting. Makes good cupcakes too!

From She to Me Thank you for the full recipe. My daughter is Vegan so this is perfect. I’m looking forward to making in our van. Doing Road trip this summer to Albuquerque to visit out daughter.
Adorable lady and cooking style
Forget your recipes, I want to know your beauty secrets :) I really do love the recipes too ! Thanks
Thanks for the recipes. I just recently purchased my instant pot and I have made the pasta and the eggs. I am making the cake now. I can’t wait. Here’s tip on conserving water. We are tent campers, we mix a little dish soap in spray bottle an spray our dishes with the soapy water then wipe them with the cloth. It takes very little hot water to rinse them.
What a great idea. Thanks.
Thanks so much. I have a 3 quart IP . Very good meals.
We recently tried your cake recipe in the Instant Pot while camping with our grandsons. It was a hit! Many thanks for sharing.
It's hard to go wrong with chocolate.
I'll be trying those recipes on my next road trip.
Happy Birthday Debbie! Great recipes and I thank you for sharing them. I love watching how other people use their vans. I always get a tip or two. You and your husband are a great team. It's fun to see a couple staying fit and active and enjoying life together. I think you've convinced me to get the garbage can!
Minimizing can be maximizing for your mental health.
HUGE THANKS..BE CAUSE OF YOU...I BOUGHT A INSTANT POT!! S/B FUN & EASY TO USE ON THE RD!!
May take some time to learn how to adapt recipes, etc but it comes in handy. Check UA-cam for ideas.
Wow. We are upgrading to a PW Ontour 2.2 from a tent. Did it for ease of moving sites nightly - but we never thought that about going so gourmet !
There's not much you can't cook in the campervan. We're going on 5 years now and still having a blast. Hope you will too.
Thanks for the recipes. Will try them soon. We recently got the 3 qt IP and the insert pans. 👍🏻
Really enjoyed the recipes and how you made them in your pressure pot. Also enjoyed seeing more of John in this video. He seems like a very nice person and you both seem like you really enjoy each other’s company. It was fun to see you both treat each other with humor and kindness.
Thanks. He is a good guy and always makes me laugh.
Definitely getting an Instant pot after seeing this! My Mum had a pressure cooker when I was little and used to do stews and steamed puddings, but this looks so quick and easy to use. I think it will spend quite a bit of it time in my kitchen as well as some in the van. Thanks and a belated Happy Birthday!🎂🍾🎉
+Linzi Douglas My next video is about making cheesecake in the IP.
Wow....they all look yummy....thanks!
Happy Belated Birthday Debbie. My wife and I enjoy your videos. We received a 3 quart Instant Pot for Christmas and plan to use in the camper van we just bought. Thanks for the recipes. We too have just in the past year reached the 65 mark. Look forward to more from you and John.
Joel & Janis
Hope you find it as versatile as I have.
I watch and love all your videos. You do not look 65 adding 3 years since this was filmed now 68.
Thanks. I’m certainly starting to feel it.
Driving while the IP cooks is vanlife gold... Just installed my van electrics and found out that cooking on the fly is so nice and it also helps with battery management.
I haven't bought one of these pots yet but you make it look so easy I'm going to get one I hope you keep doing recipes
I use it much more in the camper van than I do at home. I will definitely do more recipes. Thanks.
I love the recipes but I love the little clip light on the faucet!
That was in a swag bag we got at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta
Happy Belated Birthday! 65? Cannot be true! You guys are too cute! But, ah, Cafe Beaujolais. Had their Chocolate Decadence Cake many, many years ago and remember it well! Bought the cookbook back then and sorry to say I never have cooked many recipes it. After watching your video I found it in the way back, it's.called AMAZON Chocolate Cake. Don't know if it's the same as the one we had but it looks great. Kudos to you for adapting it to the RV life.
Thanks. Yes, it is called Amazon Chocolate Cake and probably 30 years ago we stopped in the restaurant and had a slice. I also had their vegetarian chili which was very good and is in the recipe book. My mother was a huge fan of the author.
I'm enjoying see a couple being fun together its nice thanks for the recipes will be buying the pot soon for our trip
This is the exact chocolate cake recipe I use all the time! Except for mine has different directions.
Happy Birthday Debbie! I will be trying these recipes when I get an instapot.
+Veg Nurse 😋
Happy 65th to you!! My wife and I will hit that mark this year. We’re working on the pasta recipe now. The trash bag holder and the instant pot pots are in the shopping cart. Happy travels.
Wonderful
Happy birthday. Thanks so much for the simple recipes. I can't wait to try them.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Fun and easy recipes! We need a meet up at the beach!
+Suzanne Burke That would be fun. I’ll start noodling on the idea.
really great fun to watch. Nice to see the toast being made too. Must try the chocolate cake
Happy birthday!!! You look amazing!!! Thank you for all the videos. We watch them religiously. We have a Roadtrek simplicity and hope to meet you in person in the future
It's always fun to meet up with viewers. Happy Trekking!
Thank you so much for the recipes and that you have a 3 quart instant pot, I didn't know I could get the inserts for the smaller one, so exciting!! Thank you again!!
Links for the inserts I use are on my Amazon Storefront. Link in description box.
Yes, I saw them, and I will order through your link, that is actually how I knew you had a 3 qt! And now I'm watching some of your other vids, I subscribed and will order through your link. The French toast looks yummy and I can substitute my gluten free bread!!
French toast is my favorite.
You seem delightful! Makes me love Californians!
+Liz D Wow, that’s not something Californians hear very often. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your recipes. Whenever I get my dream campervan I will try them. I do have one of those instant pots.
GREAT job! I really like your practical videos!
+Alanda Thanks.
Happy Birthday and Thanks for the video!!! Happy Cooking and Camping
Can't wait to try out all the recipes in my instant pot mini. Love camping in my Pleasureway Plateau FL and these yummy recipes will be perfect . Oh thanks for the kudos midway through the video.
You bet. Thanks for the great tip.
Happy BDay Debbie.... All the best.... and safe travels....
I just started watching your channel this evening and you look like a sweet couple to follow. 👍🏻🥰
Thanks and welcome to the channel.
Happy Birthday! You really do look AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! You AND hubby MAKE A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE! Ok, I want to try every one of these recipes. They are very simple yet absolutely delicious meals while out and about. Thanks so much for sharing all your knowledge and adventures with us... I’m always looking forward for the next update.
Thanks. Please let me know of any recipe creations you come up with as you experiment.
I thought the same thing - such a lovely lady, Debbie. I'm 64 and only wish I looked as good! Lol! Happy Birthday!
@@sherirm777 Thanks. But you're not seeing me up close. I've got some miles on me under the hood. ;-))
Love the quick and easy recipes! I will have to get the small Instant Pot for our RV. Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful tips. Happy travels!
Happy Birthday. We can’t wait to try the chocolate cake recipe.
In the description box I have just added directions for anyone making the recipe in a conventional way.
Happy Belated Birthday! Great recipe ideas. Going to to try them out. Thanks! You & John make a cute couple. Who could resist a couple who has chocolate cake with a GIANT pile of whip cream?
Oooo...love chocolate cake and perfect or my 3qt IP. Thanks for sharing
Thanks alot, now I`m hungry. lol. Happy birthday!!
+Peter Thanks!
Happy Birthday, BTW if you place a towel over the steam release the steam will not get on the cabinets or burn you
Now why didn't I think of that! Thanks so much.
Happy birthday. You look fabulously young. Gonna get my wife to try some of your recipes. Thanks for sharing.🎂
Great job! Thanks
Happy Birthday! John is one lucky guy - you are so talented! Thank you for sharing your recipes and all of your ideas. Time to dig the Instant Pot out!
Actually, I'm quite challenging. But thanks. Do get out the IP and start experimenting and then you can pass on your own tips!
Luv these recipes, thanks for sharing
Happy Birthday! Thanks for posting....everything looks simple and delicious! I have the 6qt in my home, I will definitely consider the 3qt for camping.
Another great video! Thank you and Happy Birthday!
Love your videos! I have learned so much from you. Happy Birthday and Many more
You had me at chocolate cake. Thank you for sharing.
+Robert Segura John says it is one of the major food groups.
Just got to try your chocolate cake. We liked it. I think it would be fun to make a layer cake out of it when camping. Creative baking it the camper just doesn't happen for me. This will change it.
Happy Birthday! You look fabulous! I love my Instant Pot! Thanks.
Happy Birthday Debbie! You look great young lady!! Love the recipes and all your great information. Hope you will continue to share more recipes in the instant pot. You have another happy subscriber!! I’m full timing in a 2018 Travato 59K.
Wow, full timing it. I admire you folks doing that. Did you attend the RTR this year?
No I didn't. I live full time in my Travato but still work full time as an engineer for a TV Station in Salt Lake City...going on 33 years. I hope to retire in the next few years and them spend my retirement traveling this great country. In the mean time, I am gathering as much information as I can. I really enjoy your information and look forward to seeing all you have to offer. Keep up the great work my friend!@@FromShetoMe
@@242rox12 We were in Sandy this past October and stayed two nights at Tanner's Flat Campground while I attended a Genealogy conference. It was fabulous. Almost no one there as it was their last week before the end of the season.
Happy birthday! Thanks for sharing the recipes.
Happy Birthday! Thanks for the recipes.
John you're living the dream LOL
Hello Debbie, I am new to your channel I really enjoy the recipe content! The apple sauce recipe is absolutely delicious I had it with oatmeal also, only thing was that mine took more than five minutes in high pressure in the instant pot and I did it exactly like yours Quartered! Thanks
I might have done a natural release which keeps the pressure high for longer. But I just can't remember now.
No worries, I will adjust next time! Happy Travels
Hi Deb: glad I bumped into your channel. Great stuff I learned today! PS Would love 💕 to see more recipes! I liked & sub !!!Thanks and Happy trails! Alicia
Thank you! Glad you found us.
Thank you for all your efforts to share your perspective and experience.
I am looking forward to hearing about your thoughts on cooking meals. In terms of meal prep, I have some questions. Do you concern yourself with meals smelling up the van? Are there any foods you do not cook because of this? How do you get around this? (I am really thinking of fish as well as some other smelly foods). We generally make all of our meals at home. We avoid gluten and dairy, so eating out can be challenging. We also eat lots of vegetables which take up a lot of refrigerator space. I am also used to cooking with a lot of ingredients. We are looking forward to hearing what kind of meals you make on a regular basis. I am curious what your “top 5” go to, easy, tasty recipes are since you appear to be quite health conscious. For lunches, sandwiches seem like the easiest thing to do, but that gets old and is a lot of bread on a regular basis. Thank you!
Fortunately, I don't have to avoid gluten. I could live on bread alone. I do some meal prep before we leave and portion things into bags. My favorite meals are things like veggie tacos (I use the morning star crumbles), soup (which I will either make or there is one lentil soup we like from a can--I always add a can of beans and spinach). My favorite breakfast is the instant pot french toast or oatmeal with peanut butter powder and granola. We often have egg sandwiches with avocado (I have a beautiful avocado tree). We like some of the packaged meals like Tasty Bite Indian Madras Lentils and I will throw in a bag of packaged rice from Trader Joe's or the one's you get at the grocery store that are ready to heat and serve. John loves a Broccoli slaw salad that I make that I think I showed on another video. It has lots of nuts, dried fruit, onion crisps, beans, cheese. We always have lots of apples around and I will usually slice up some smoked cheddar or pepper jack to eat with it. We have very simple tastes and almost never eat out. Now that you have gotten my mind going on the subject, I think I shall do a video in the next few months. Thanks.
I just realized I forgot to answer your smell question. No, there is nothing that we eat that I would avoid cooking in the van (we don't eat fish). That said, every time I make hash browns or toast, the smoke alarm goes off. So I try to remember to open a window and turn on the fan. It is so sensitive.
Thank you! We look forward to your future videos. :)
Happy Belated Birthday! Great recipes!
Happy Birthday 🎈 thanks for the recipes 😋
Happy Birthday! I never knew that a pressure cooker was so versatile
I usually just stop and buy something fast...very unsatisfying. So I will plan ahead and use these recipes on my next trip with this pot! I'm so thankful for your videos as they have greatly expanded my horizons. The applesauce sounds amazing. You mentioned a Pleasure Way group at the beginning. Would you please tell me how to access? (I would have guessed you were closer to 50.) Thanks again.
There is a Pleasure-Way Owners and Wannabe's group on Facebook and there is a Pleasure-way owner's group on Yahoo. For that one you actually have to submit your VIN number of the vehicle.
Nice!
Hippy bathday!
Happy Birthday, great video, and John you look good. Happy traveling>
I use a small blender to make applesauce, peeled apple and cantaloupe .
Do you mean you make you mix apple & cantaloupe together?
@@FromShetoMe yes
Loved all of these! Where can I get more recipes?
Thanks. I subscribe to a couple of channels that do mostly instant pot dishes, "pressureluck" and "6 sisters stuff". As I find more recipes, I will bring them to the channel.
Great video. I got an instant pot for Christmas. I will be making the applesauce tomorrow morning with oatmeal for breakfast. Thanks.
Happy Birthday! Pressure Luck is a channel on UA-cam that has some great Instant Pot recipes.You can also get the recipes written out by googling Pressure Luck. The guy (Jeffrey) that creates the recipes is very funny but describes creating the recipes very well! Happy cooking!!
Yes, I have been watching Pressure Luck as well as Six Sisters Stuff. If you come up with any good recipes, please pass them on. Thanks.
Happy Birthday! We are the same age, 65 years young!
Let me add another wish for a happy 65th year! Just curious - where do you store your instant pot? Space is so precious in a class B.
Thanks. We have one "large" cabinet under the sink. The IP (with the original styrofoam packaging) goes at the bottom and then stacked on top is anything else that will fit. The styrofoam gives the pot a nice flat surface on which to rest the other items. I think I use it enough to justify the additional space it takes up.
Now I really want some cake. PS, your link to the pot was broken for me. Other 2 worked. (already have the pot, actually)
Thanks for the heads up. Just posted a new link.
Absolutely stunning, you have a great 'taster' ! Happy Birthday ! and thank you for sharing . BTW: Why did you have the whipped cream in a cooler bag instead of the refrig ?
Good eye. For the last two recipes we drove the van to the beach. No need to turn the fridge on for just a few hours use so I stuck it in the cooler bag.
@@FromShetoMe Good Deal ! I was afraid you were having refrigeration issues again. I still want a PW and I am keeping a close eye on your challenges and factory responses. As I am not a current PW owner I can't see the articles by others, good or bad, that would be extremely helpful in my decision process. I think PW keeping that closed to owners prevents sales. There are all kind of videos by owners of other makes of Class B's..but none of PW..EXCEPT YOU !!! Thank you for sharing !
@@thoughtsinpassing2968 I occasionally check out the PW owner's group and don't really see any complaints. Everything is working well now (except the one blind on the sliding door). Our dealer has ordered the magnets so he can switch out the velcro on all our blinds. I don't know if you follow Technomadia but they are thinking of buying a PW (but probably used). PW has made a number of changes that I mentioned in last year's video about things I would like to see changed including the sink faucet and the table. And then I just read the Wendland's newsletter about Roadtrek so I'm feeling pretty good about our PW. In 2 weeks we will be driving to San Diego for the new suspension package and new tires. A video will follow on after that. Hope you find what you are looking for.
I always keep some of your chocolate cake mix in storage bags ready to use in my Instant Pot when we were on the road in our travel van. Any chance you might have some more easy dessert recipes for Instant Pot to share with us soon? Also, I would be interested to know which you prefer for making desserts: Instant Pot or Omni Oven.
I don't have any new IP recipes but working on pizza in the Omnia Oven. I'd probably say I prefer the Omnia oven for baked items.
Ah THESE are the types of videos I love! For the cake...I have a 6 qt IP. If I just double the quantities will that work or even if I halve the amount you have to come up with just 2 bags of premix would that work? Thank you for this content! See you on the road!
Well you could easily use both of the inner pots instead of the single one I used for the eggs. But for things like the cake, you don't want to fill the pan too much or it won't cook in the middle. But for everything else you can fill it to full.
Happy Birthday Debbie!!!, you look great!!! Thanks for the recioes.
Which beach is it where you had that awesome sunset?
Bolsa Chica State Beach. We have a yearly State Park pass. There is a senior pass that is $20 but it does exclude the summer but a great bargain. Otherwise, the pass is $195. The strange thing about it though is it doesn't include all of California's parks.
OMG,, lt looks delicious 😋❤️❤️
I know this is an old vid to be commenting on... but 65?! NFW! Holy shit, and you film this in highdef!! Anyway, I'm an Insty cook as well and you had me until instant oatmeal. Nooooooo! You've got the BEST invention ever for steel cut oatmeal!! Even better in an RV... Using oat groats for savory and sweet dishes (like his maple flavored oats- I add banana slices, cinnamon, and walnuts at the end). Yes, I would too (eat chocolate cake for dinner).
😅I don’t usually have instant. My preferred method of making is in my wide mouth thermos. For oat groats I let it sit overnight and regular extra thick oatmeal I let it sit a couple of hours. I like it with peanut butter powder.
@@FromShetoMe ok now I'm hungry. ;-).
Damn, those recipes look great. Barb and I have been watching all of your videos and shopping for gear as we eagerly wait for the delivery of our PW Plateau. Just last night we looked at an Instant Pot but decided against it for some reason. After watching this video I think we might be changing our mind and going back for it. We did however pick up a very compact coffee machine and portable induction cooktop.
P.S. I'm totally with John on trading in the pasta for an extra serving of whipped cream on the chocolate cake.
P.P.S. Happy Birthday!
Debbie, thank you for making your nice videos. I am trying to make your cake, but my InstantPot 3qts do NOT come with your insert pot and small handle. Can you help me where i can find that. Thank you Agneta/Montreal, Canada
Should be listed on my Amazon Storefront which I put in the description box. If not on this older video, check out a newer one.
Also, could you please tell us what the 'red thingy' is on your sink faucet? Thanks! Happy Belated Birthday and thank you for your wonderful videos! We really enjoy them.
That's funny. When we were at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, it was part of a goody bag when we checked into the campsite. It is a tiny flashlight. I should have tried to get a few more because the batteries in them come in handy for various devices.
Thanks! We will be headed there this fall and maybe they will redistribute once more. Also love one of your viewers rubber band ideas on the faucet.
Great video! Happy Birthday,also. What brand of insert do you use? We have a 3 qt Instant Pot that we use in our travel trailer. I think the insert would be a great asset.
+Jimmie Bowen Thanks. Should be listed in the description box below the video.
Oops! I know to check there but forgot. Thanks
Just checked. Out of stock.
They'll come back in stock again. The first time I went to order it was the same.
Check this one instead: amzn.to/2D3mJEN
Thanks for the vegan cake recipe. I am vegan (30 years this year) have a little guy max teardrop this dec and the teardrop has its own instant pot the 3 qt. What size are the liners ? I already have the inserts but the paper liners are a great idea. Is it 6 inches ? Or 5 ?
They are 6". The link is in the description box below the video. I love teardrop trailers.
Happy belated birthday🎂🤗🌈💗🎂
Happy Birthday! How much battery do you use when cooking with the IP. You mentioned that you were boondocking so not plugged in. We are winterized so no experience using my mini IP in our Plateau TS yet. (We have the same inverter and lithium batteries as you)We are usually camping without 30 amp service and am wondering if the IP will be sucking our batteries down. Thanks
Most of the draw is while it is reaching pressure initially. I've not had more than a 10% drawdown. And if you are concerned, you can use the generator while it is coming up to pressure. After making the last two recipes in succession, we were at 90%. And the cake was in for 30 minutes. Hope that helps.
Happy birthday
🙏
I would have never guessed 65 I was thinking maybe 4550 at the most happy birthday
John, life lesson always eat dessert first.
We are getting an Winnebago Fuse 2017 in 2 weeks. I think your tips and tricks well be helpful to set up for our first trip. Thanks, keep up the good work.
For your pasta do you prefer to use a sturdier whole wheat pasta shape? I tried to make it tonite with same measurements but a whole wheat fusili and added some vegis also and cooked for 8 minutes but it kinda got mushy? What did I do wrong? I have the big 8 qt one. Thanks
I don't use the whole wheat pastas. Shorten your cook time by half or more. A lot depends on whether you do quick release or let it reduce pressure naturally. If it is underdone, just put it back for another minute.
Where do we find the recipes? Is there a special site for that?
If you open the description box below the video, you will find all the info. If you are on a mobile device, then click on the small triangle below the video and the description box should open for you. It is easier on a desk top computer; just click on the "show more" link below the description box.
How many miles per gallon the motorhome can run?
Originally it got 20-22 but we did some upgrades that reduced the mileage to about 18.
You give me hope that I'll get the RV I'm dreaming about and travel the country!
Happiest of Birthdays! But... There is NO WAY you are 65! (45 maybe...!)
Thanks but my body sure feels different than at 45. As far as finding the RV of your dreams, better to just dive in and make the most of it because the experiences will far outweigh the blemishes that every vehicle is sure to deliver.
@@FromShetoMe I'm off to the Houston RV Show next Friday... wish us luck! :-)
At some point I'm going to record the journey on my channel, but not quite there yet! Thanks for all you do!
@@RoadsofLife Send me a link when you do.
@@FromShetoMe You asked for it... ua-cam.com/channels/RGb_SpgAxdvSl95duBdjtg.html
Just starting this journey, so we'll see where it goes!
I have just subscribed and I see I am the first! Good job on your channel trailer. That's more than I have done. Looking forward to more.
No cheese on pasta?
Happy birthday...belated. You are one lucky girl. You have a camper van and you also have a man.
How many watts does the instant pot draw
I don’t know off hand but when it reaches pressure it uses very little. I run it for 30 minutes and batteries will show 90%.
The cake is from the Depression when you couldn’t get eggs.
How much was the motorhome?
6 years ago it was $125k
Nice. Curious, could the water in the Instapot be used as pour over coffee or for the oatmeal? If the water was clean when placed in the instapot it should remain clean for use, just super hot:
Interesting question. It always looks a little skanky so I wouldn't use it except for washing dishes.
