Love love love ur RV kitchen!! You guys did a really amazing job updating your RV!
Speaking of instapot or crockpot recipe- i got one for ya’ll that’s vegetarian which is one of my go to’s from the recipe book:
Vegetable Ziti
1 lb ziti pasta, uncooked
1 large zucchini grated
1 large carrot grated
1 red bell pepper diced
1 small onion finely diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 28 ounce can diced tomato
1 15 ounce can tomato puree
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
3 cups grated mozzarella cheese, divided
Combine all ingredients except the 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Stir to mix well. Sprinkle the remaining cup of mozzarella evenly over the pasta mixture. Cook on high for 3 hrs.
Bilbo and Gandalf!! 😂😂😂 I love it!
Haha I’m so glad you got to “meet them” both. It was such a pleasure hanging out with you all! Can’t wait for our next adventure! 💕❤️
YOUR LIFE IS SERIOUSLY FOREVER CHANGED WITH THAT INSTA-POT!!! Seriously, amazing addition
Haha yesss!! That’s great feedback! I have some serious Pinteresting to do 🤣 any vegetarian favs? 💕❤️
I didn't realize your fifth wheel was only 27 feet! It looks so much bigger and roomie! We have a Ninja Foodi (which also functions as an Insta-Pot). It does so many things, even baking! (Which came in handy since we removed our oven to put in a washer/dryer combo LOL). Also love, love those pots and pans! We actually found some collapsible pots that we use, but I might look into those because they don't take up much room! We also got rid of the coffee pot (we like saving the counter space, and not having to rely on electric). We did the French Press for awhile, but hated how much water it took to rinse all the coffee grinds out, so we switched to a Pour Over. Also LOVE: "Everything has a home. It's so important." ! Couldn't agree with you more! When living in an RV, everything definitely needs a place, and everything needs to be in it's place lol. And being, a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan, LOVE your RV and truck names!
That is so great to hear! Someone else mentioned the Ninja Foodie and I think we will probably ended up switching it out because it sounds absolutely amazing! What a great idea with the washer dryer! I would love to have one- we considered the ones that go in the tub but not sure that’s the best route for us. So interesting about the pour over! Chris is hooked on coffee so it will be interesting to see how that goes 🤣🤣🤣 ours is definitely tiny! How big is yours? Watching your cat video now 😻. You are the best pet owner ever! Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate your friendship and advice so much!💕❤️
I love your set up and all of the compact things. For the coffee pot - a cuban coffee stove top will do the trick. It's how Jay and I make coffee at his house. Compact and easy and good.
Bilbo is looking super nice inside!
Thank you so much, Melissa! Still have some work to do like you saw, but getting close to being finished! 💕❤️
We gave up our Instant Pot for the Ninja Foodie because we needed an air fryer too and it is all combined into one unit, which we love! We also have a sponge holder! Your RV looks so good, love the colors! ~ Shion and Matthew
Haha oh man- we might find out we need to switch too! Glad my sponge holder idea wasn’t crazy 🤣 thank you so much! Hope we get to hang out on the road and show you around it! 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily We would love that! :-)
We love our insta-pot especially in the RV. We only buy dried beans and pulses now and using the insta-pot dies away with soaking overnight. We got 2 inserts so we could make a chili in one and rice in the other for example.
That’s so cool! We just bought an insert last week and love it! We are using it a lot since we are traveling full-time now. Do you have any favorite recipes? We have been reusing the same recipes over and over 🤣
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily A lot of my recipes are for meat dinners (lamb/venison curry, cottage pie filling) and I'll use whatever I have in the cupboard. When cooking like this I use the saute setting first so I can brown my meat and veggies, then swap over to the pressure cooker setting. And i use our insta-pot for cooking beans (chick peas, black beans, lentils) that get added to or are the foundation of salads. I also make my own yogurt in it.
@@mum2jka thanks so much! Wow! I never thought about making yogurt! Heading to Google now haha. Really appreciate your tips! ❤️
We have plastic cutting boards like that! I love them! So easy to clean and takes up very little space.
I’m so glad! We have never used them before and were a little nervous they would be to thin! Thanks for giving us some confidence in them! Haha 💕❤️
i love all the new kitchen gear, especially the iron skillet!
Thank you so much! We have never used one before and can’t wait! I’m so sad to leave the juicer behind, but it’s huge 😭. I thought you could empathize because I know you love celery juice too! 💕❤️
Coming together very quickly now. Soon you will be making memories
So great to hear from you! How was your week? Thank you! It can't come quick enough. I always look forward to seeing you in the comments! Thanks for watching. We appreciate you!
We had a great week,thank you for asking…I have 2 instant pot and a air fryer, and the smaller instant pot and air fryer travel with us in our 5th wheel
@@pamelawaterman3960 very cool! How often do you use your air fryer? We are considering one! 💕❤️
I use my air fryer for a lot of things. I love both of them, I try not to use the oven much( have pizza stone in oven) it’s small . So the air fryer. Lol
Woooow very very beautiful video thanks for sharing
Thanks you so much! Really means a lot! Where are you watching from? So great to connect with you! 💕❤️
Yay🥰 I love the Collender too. I have a collapsible one too. Love your dishes n I need a cast iron frying pan too but scared of it at the same time. 🤣
That’s awesome! Haha it’s so intimidating- hopefully we put it to use! How are you my friend? 💕❤️
Love this! We purchased our travel trailer in July and just found a truck this weekend! Looking forward to winter break and heading south for our first trip! Till then.... lost of pretty stuff to do!
Congratulations! That’s so exciting! Where down south? I’m excited not to endure a Michigan winter this year! Please send pics on IG! I love that stuff! So happy for you! 💕❤️
Your kitchen is so amazing! Love your cute kettle and the way you've safely stored your knives away. Essential item for me is some kind of juicer or blender :)
Thanks so much, Mart! We are really going to miss our juicer- it’s just so big 😂. I can’t wait to catch up on your adventures! 💕❤️
I’ve never used an Instant Pot but I heard it’s amazing.
That actually makes me feel better! Some of your vlogs feature some amazing food - I’m glad I’m not the only one who hasn’t used one yet lol! I hope you have a great week! 💕❤️
That compact stove set is pretty cool!!!
Think we will ever use it? 🤣🤞🏼
The kitchen looks anazing! The only thing I would add is a big metal electric kettle both for tea and pour over coffee and for making things like oatmeal, ramyun, etc... The instant pot takes a while to get used to. Make sure you vent away from your cabinetry and don't overfill it with liquid. Cannot wait to see what comes next! Bilbo is so airy and spacious 😍😍😍
Those are great tips! Thank you! I always see your delicious creations- I imagine a small kitchen would be a nightmare for you 🤣. How are you all doing?! Did I see you all are sick or was that an old post? 😭
Cast iron skillets are awesome!!
We definitely would love any recipes you suggest! Total newbs to the cast iron skillet world lol 😂
Wow, this is more than I'd think you can have in an RV. you have a lot of pots! BTW, love how much light comes in from windows.
Haha lots of people have commented we still might not have enough 🤣 Thanks so much, it’s one of our favorite features! Appreciate you watching so much! Hope you all had a great week! 💕❤️
Your comments were turned off your last video 😭. Just wanted you to know I absolutely adored it! You have given your son such an amazing gift and it’s amazing how he has ran with it! 💕❤️
I like the decoration inside the place, we like to take a small blender whereas we go.
Thanks so much! That’s awesome! Does it do the trick? We are used to making large portions for the entire family. I think it will be an adjustment 🤣❤️
Your kitchen looks amazing!! I love the colors in your RV! -- I have one tip before you hit the road with your instant pot -- practice a couple meals before you go! -- It was complicated at first! 😊 I love mine now that I know how to work it!
Thanks so much! That’s a great idea- I have no clue how to use it 🤣. How are you l?! ❤️💕
Oh my gosh, I just love your new intro. Really does state what your channel is all about. Seriously, your RV looks much better than most house. When are you guys targeting the 50 State run? I laugh every time you say “Bilbo”. You guys have really utilized every space on Bilbo.
Thanks so much, Carl! Means so much- we have been trying to think of ways to make it slightly different each time so we hope to update it 😀. We have been on the waiting list since we bought the truck to get it in to be fitted to haul Bilbo - we are hoping soon after they do that! 😬 it can’t come soon enough! We would love your help thinking of the most epic adventure in Illinois. It would be even better if you came along with us for it! 💕❤️
Hey guys, pretty interesting videos as always. We are waiting for the next adventures of ours. Have a nice week, ADM Team :)
So great to hear from you? How are you guys doing?! Thanks so much for your kind words, watching and friendship! We appreciate it a lot! 💕❤️
RV is looking good. Cannot wait until you get on the road!
Thank you so much! Can’t wait either! How was your week? 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily week was fine, went up to Boyne falls and Petoskey on the weekend and Mandy ended up with a couple of ticks, ugh 😩
It’s so beautiful up there! I’m so sorry 😭😭😭 Were you able to get them off? They have been horrible this year!
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily yes we got them off and I took her to the vet today to double check her. Mandy had all her teeth removed last week Tuesday, so I had them check her mouth. She’s still on an antibiotic from her surgery and she starts a new one in a few days to kill any tick born disease. My poor baby.
@@crazycutecritters2059 Oh my gosh! Poor thing. Sending tons of love and prayers!
French press is good, but guys…. AeroPress is where its at!!! I think we show ours off in one in one of our next videos
I don’t know how nice the French press is, we just kind of settled on something that wouldn’t break 🤣 can’t wait to see it! 💕❤️
Just saw a video from 4 Seasons Adventures where he added a pizza stone to his rv and it seemed to work well for him.
That’s great to here! If we start burning food we are going to get one! How are you? 💕❤️
Joseph Joseph set of 4 or 5 containers with coordinated coloured snap lids, Nogent French can opener is tiny & mighty (& long lasting). We’ve loved magma set of pots but Ingenio has SS set of 3 pots that are cheaper & I found silicone lids (flat, light).
Thank you so much! The pans have held up pretty well over the last year but it would be great to get some more. I’ll have to look into that brand. I really appreciate your suggestions. I hope to see you on the road!
i ran across your channel awhile ago, just watched this video, I litterally have the same 2010 Ford f-250 Cabela's Edition truck
Thanks for watching! How has your truck treated you? We actually have had our first big break down with our truck this week. It’s costing an arm and a leg, as well as presenting some challenges .l.
Your kitchen looks ready to go 👍 I use the pizza stone idea
Oh that’s great to hear! We will have to buy one! Thank you! ❤️💕
I have same sink tray same pot set cast iron set I have in entirely especially Dutch oven ,
I love that! Do you have anything we missed?
I just heard about that pizza stone hack. I think I have been watching too many RV videos 🤣. We need to get an instapot also. What! You are probably the first UA-camr who doesn’t drink coffee. The non slip liner seems like a great idea. My wife loves her morning smoothie also. This looks amazing guys!!!! Yes!!!! Gandolff!!! Love it.
Haha we are hooked on RV videos too! 🤣 I might be the only one that doesn’t drink coffee 😂 I am completely hooked on Kombucha though! I can’t tell you how exited I am to see you all! Chris has been brushing up on his magic tricks to try to impress you 🤣❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily I’ll make sure to bring my magic and I can give your kids a magic show.
@@SantosChronicles We all are soo excited!!!
Some great items! We use a lot of the same. My wife makes great yogurt in the instant pot! It’s great!
I never thought about making yogurt! What a great idea! Did we miss anything you use often? I can’t wait to see how you all have been! 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily our go to is the Airfryer! It replaces a regular toaster, oven, everything. It very versatile and we cook everything in it! Beats heating up the RV with the propane oven.
Such a great point! We will have to get one! Thank you so much! 💕❤️
So excited for you! Kitchen looks great I have a lot of the same things minus the Instapot (let me know) I use our oven a lot! “Kitchen mitten” perfect!! Hooray for Gandolf! Looks like you are about ready to roll! Can’t wait!
That’s so good to hear! I know you have the Berkey. Are you pretty happy with it? Hope you all had a great week. Can’t wait to see what you got up to! 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily we love our berkey! But it does take up space which isn’t a problem in our rig but you’d have to find a home for it in yours. The filter system you got looks good, I’m curious about that as well. Can’t wait to see where you are off too!
@@TilFurtherNotice we are hopeful! Thank you so much! Hopefully on a fun adventure with you two at some point! 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily that would be soooo amazing 🤗🤗
I have never even stayed in a RV and we are about to buy one after selling our house (literally got a offer tonight) and I plan on taking my Ninja foodie 5in1 with a grill. I have a ninja pressure cooker and hardly ever use it at home
That’s so exciting! Congratulations on getting an offer on your house - we did the same thing 🎥 ua-cam.com/video/Skr5xP7xmFc/v-deo.html. We never stayed in an RV either and are taking the leap of faith! I have heard so many great thinks about the Ninja! We may have to switch out our Instantpot along the way. Where are you planning on traveling to? So happy for you and hope to see you on the road. Thanks for watching! 💕❤️
Greetings Friends!! I was immediately intrigued by the subject as to what items you guys would have settled on.
How are you?! I haven’t heard from you in a long time! How’s your little princess doing? The boys? Del? So great to hear from you! 💕
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily I know! Crazy part is were recording here and there. Smh. Del made me feel bad about going back so far. But I'm convinced her that this is our journey and doing it in linear fashion is ideal. It's a visual time capsule.
Everyone is great tho! Baby girl is thriving!
That makes sense! I’m so glad! Have you uploaded in a while? I’m going to check it out! Miss your hot takes!
Congratulations on your solar channel! I’m blown away! It’s so deserved! 🎉🎉🎉
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily We have not!! I just told Del today Ima record a quick "let me explain" video without her and then get the party going again.
And THANK YOU so much for the congrats. Its pretty cool to be able to put all I have learned to use on a focused channel.
YESSSSSSSSS I AM SO HAPPY WITH THE TRUCK’s NAME!!!!! And seriously cool filming and editing that section!!!
Haha thank you so much and for “casting your vote.” Chris had so much fun at the end! Trying to make things more cinematic like you guys! 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily I’ve been going the opposite I feel like in the latest videos lol, I’ve just been using my iPhone the past 3 videos 🤷🏻♂️😂
Haha 😂 I was just on a zoom call with some UA-camrs with tons of subscribers and one of them said they shoot 90% on their GoPro and the other said they do almost everything on their phone- it made me feel a little better! 🤣 I just love going on your journey with you guys. I haven’t even noticed the quality change! 💕❤️
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily WHATTTT?!?! How are you in such cool groups!?!?
Haha most of them are RV groups 🤣
Hey guys - love your channel. Was wondering if you ever took any courses to learn how to take care of your RV or road safety - etc. My husband and I are thinking of entering the RV life but don't know where to start! Thanks for any advice!
Hey, Nicole! So great to connect with you! We knew absolutely nothing about the lifestyle before jumping in the deep end, and I’m actually glad it all worked out that way.
We were really overwhelmed with all of the details and had no idea how to make it work, then one day we just thought “we have to learn sometime.” 🤣 We had only towed the fifth wheel down the road about 10 miles before packing it all up and towing it in the mountains (on narrow roads with no guardrails). Not sure I recommend that though 😂. We have learned so much and continue to learn new things everyday. UA-cam has been our best friend for looking up how to do things and the community has been so supportive and given us so much advice!
I’m so excited for you! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you have, we’d love to help get you on the road! ❤️
That colander is dope. I was just thinking about an instant pot. Hmm 🤔
Eric- you and Chris throwing around "dope." 😂 I have no idea what to do with it- but according to RV groups online it's a "must-have." Don't know if it would fit in your van though lol
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily sick colander, bruh
@@ericgarneau1708 what about the cookware, Eric? What about the pots?!
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily I think the bag of pots is great. I was not paid to say this.
@@ericgarneau1708 🤣🤣🤣
So, how did it go? What do you use regularly, what have you stopped using, & what have you added?
Wonderfully! After over a year on the road we use almost everything daily. The only thing we haven’t got enough use out of is the cast iron skillet, and I think that’s just because of our cooking preferences. We are adding an air fryer to the mix too. We rarely ever use the RV oven so we are hoping it will take its place.
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily having grown up with an older mother, cast iron & a pressure cooker were always in use at our house. The Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker and I would use it for cooking our veggies as my mother did. I mainly used our frying pan when making roasts and such but my husband does our steaks in it now. 😋 We got an air fryer last year & my hubby is in love! It has nearly replaced our oven & stove top cooking when it comes to meals. All the best to you.
@@Saintly2 I love that! I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying your air fryer. We can’t wait to use the one we just got on the road! Thanks so much for your kind words and story, I really enjoyed them!
My RV kitchen is decorated very close to yours
Oh wow! I’d love to see pictures! Does it feel a lot more open now? Thanks so much for watching! 💕
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily Mine is not a 5th wheel, a 25 foot travel trailer. But it is totally renovated
@@cherylnewell9806 that’s so cool! I’m glad you could make it your own! I couldn’t imagine spending a lot of my time in something that didn’t reflect my style.
Do you have a link for those small oven pans?
Hi, Craig! Thanks so much for asking. After 9 months on the road now we use it every single day and they have held up well! Here is the link: Camping Cookware Mess Kit
amzn.to/2U8aJyE
The music in the background is too loud.
Appreciate your feedback
I am laughing that you think you don’t have space. Try doing the same in a Cali T6😂
Those are cool! Do you travel solo in it or as a family? That would definitely be less space!
@@TheLiveOutLoudFamily not now but did travel as two and a large dog. Great for going anywhere and in the UK some lanes are single track so idea for exploring. I am still looking for the tarsus van which looks little from the outside but opens into a massive Time Machine on the inside lol 🤣
@@LB-W that’s so cool! We are heading to England in May! We are hoping to look at some motorhomes and are thinking about doing it when we finish all the states. We are currently on 32/50
Very cool. I highly recommend you watch the Motorhome Matt podcasts. He is a great chap with a very broad industry knowledge and also a hire fleet. Do you have any destinations in mind?
@@LB-W thanks so much! I’ll have to check them out! Chris’s entire family is from Cheltenham, so this will be a quick trip to see his parents, grandparents siblings etc. After we get done seeing the rest of the states (we’re already on 32/50) we are considering doing the UK in Europe. We’ve already looked into some of the motorhomes, and although they are smaller than what we’re used to the designs are just so smart!
I thought this was a parody video.
Thanks for watching
