I usually rent places with a full kitchen, but regardless, a 6 cup rice maker fits nicely in luggage if you are flying and you can make anything you need simply need yo boil. Breakfast: steel cut oatmeal(keep the lid off so it doesn’t cook over) with dried fruit added, grits (long cooking)… stir in some cheese after it is cooked if you want cheesey grits. My favorite rice cooker supper… in your rice cooker, place 1.5 c white rice, 2 bullion cubes, poultry seasoning to taste, 1 can of chicken including can juices, dehydrated carrots and peas (or frozen or fresh), add water up to the “2 serving line” plus just a little bit more if using dehydrated veggies. Turn on your rice cooker this make 2 very generous servings or a decent meal for 3. The rice cooker is easy to clean and stash away before you leave your hotel room. You can also hard boil eggs in it, heat soups, stews. If your rice cooker came with a steamer basket you have even more options for simple easy to cook meals. I’m often traveling for weeks at a time and I am finding more and more hotels are going to beverage coolers instead of actual refrigerators in rooms, which don’t keep food adequately cold. It’s very hard to get a good cooler on a plane unless you want to use it as a luggage allowance or pay extra for it… so meals not requiring a refrigerator are a plus. If you look around you can often find disposable dish cloths already impregnated with dish detergent so you don’t have to carry liquid dishwashing liquid on a plane.
Thank you!
Love this travel meal, minus the canola oil. You and Jim are a blessing to so many. Thank you.
Our pleasure! Thank you.
That looks awesome! I have a daughter who needs specialized meals and cooks her own food in hotels. You've given me things to think about.
Sounds great!
I love your videos. That would be an amazing hotel room meal! We have really enjoyed our lunch box oven for traveling. I start a freeze dried meal (it reconstitutes while it heats) around mid morning, and after an hour or so we start looking for a scenic spot to pull off to have a nice hot lunch. We do the same thing in the evening, though we often just bring the already hot meal up to our hotel room to eat it.
We froze a gallon of water and used in cooler to keep cold,
A plus, we had water to drink when thawed or
you could refreeze in your freezer !!
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
I did a lot of hotel cooking when I was working. I tried many "tools" over the 10 years that I traveled (one overnight a week). One of my favorites was a 7" electric frying pan. I would use it to make "soup to nuts." I now have a camper van that is complete with a fridge and induction hob. I agree with the high price of restaurants. I took my wife out for breakfast. The food was (honestly) very sub-par. the cost? $55 for two breakfasts including coffee and tips. Holy cow!
Yikes! For breakfast??? Thanks for sharing.
You didn't say, but don't forget to take drinks with you.
When I drank soft dtinks, I always took a 2-liter botlle (sometimes 2 on longer stays). Once I forgot and had to spend $1.75 for a can of Pepsi! Thankfully, I was just there overnight. When I had to give up my beloved Pepsi (I dont tolerate the nasty artificial sweetenrs used in diet anything), I switched to flavored seltzer water and take it with me.
And even though I don't drink it, I've heard that most coffee in hotel rooms are not that good.
Anyway, it sounds like y'all have some exciting trips planned. I'm looking forward to seeing more meal preps.😊
Yes, we always take water and drinks. Thanks.
I love you two. I love all of your wonderful ideas. They're well thought out and executed. And, there's a but, you eat too much food. I'll be retired 5 years this month. I've dropped from 170 to 134 pounds. I'm still very active, but I just eat less. I just don't need three full meals a day. I pray that y'all enjoy life to the fullest.
Thank you so much! We appreciate that.
I think Pam and Jim will be just fine.
You have inspired me to dig out my sous vide and use it to prep meat for freeze drying. This looks delicious and could easily be a quick meal at home.
Sounds great!
I just love your videos. We also are into preparedness, camping and hiking and your channel checks all the boxes for us with prepping ideas and trail meals. Blessings. ❤
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you Pam. Beef tips and onion meal looks delicious.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for another fantastic idea… Merry Christmas to you and Jim …. from Karen in Australia
my husband and I just drove from Oregon to the tip of Baja Mexico (we do this 2 x /yr)...we always travel with hotel meals...generally dinner and a snack, breakfast if one isnt included in the hotel stay. One issue we ran into is that 1 of our standard hotels (Wyndam/Days Inn just outside of LA in LeBec) had removed the fridge, coffee maker and microwave from all their hotel rooms. The staff didn't know why, we decided either survey showed too few people used them, or were breaking them or stealing them.They did have access to one microwave and hot water in the lobby however no refridgerator... Another Wyndam/Days Inn (in RedBluff CA) we stayed in actually had a list of charges, your hotel room would be charged, for missing items...including: coffee pot, microwave, fridge, remote, towels, even the cheap plastic ice bucket... it was very strange. So... we will now begin traveling with our little camping stove set up to heat our personal freeze dried dinners...we bring popcorn as a snack but we'll need to rethink that. We also have a fridge in our car, when moving it charges on the electric and when parked (over night) it runs off propane...life saver. Question...do you carry your own water for use? or do you use tap? or tap and filter? we bring ours in a couple 5 gallon containers, we do travel into Mexico so tap is out of the question...we do carry bleach as a water purification back up too.
Plastic forks n knives are a nuisance, just take 2 knives, forks, spoons and wash them after. Easy peasy, it’s not a bother as you will want to move around after sitting all day in car.
That makes sense! Thanks for sharing.
Pam, what about all those yummy soups you canned. 🤔 Pour that in a plastic container (throw away) and freeze it. That will be easy to heat up in the room or the car warmer. 💐💙🙏🇺🇲
Yes, we have some of those in our freezer all ready to go! Thanks.
Looks yummy! You always have great ideas and I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! 😊
Yummy!! Ouch, $50. + tip for that meal, wow!! Thank you for reminder, why we don't eat out. We favor our own meals. While out and about shopping, every now & then we will stop and eat but few and far between. Your meal looks delicious.
You are so welcome! Thanks for your comment.
The Shore Stays Hotel in Cape Charles Virginia has a small kitchen. My husband and I stayed there and it was great to be able to cook meals. I have food allergies so my going out to eat is very limited. They have a full size stove, pots and pans, kitchen sink and cabinets and a full sized fridge. They even have a pub sized dining table and chairs. If you go to the website you can see the rooms. Nice place, nice people and very clean.
That is awesome!
We travel often, we just take a cooler and an instapot. I’ve never stayed at a hotel that didn’t have an ice machine so the cooler stays fed. I can sauté, make rice and pressure cook in my instapot. If we’re gone for several days we restock at ALDIs or Walmart
Sounds great!
You never cease to amaze me!!
Wow...thank you.
Love your videos. We, too, are trail grazers except in a Jeep Rubicon with a rooftop tent. We have a 12V fridge on a slide with drawers next to it to house our pots/pans and implements. I am looking forward to the book and preparing 60 days of meals that I can pull for our camping adventures. Since we live in the South in the mountains we can winter camp most of the season. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Very cool! Thanks for sharing your setup! Merry Christmas to you as well.
We use our 12 volt oven a lot when traveling. We are usually in our motorhome and when we stop for the night our dinner is ready.
Yes--great planning!!! Thanks for sharing.
We are also waiting for Boxing Day sale to buy upright freezer like you did. Frost free
Yes! Be sure to check that it is frost free--the one I got isn't!
@@trailgrazers3690 it just got delivered. Same as yours because frost free was 4 times the price. Could not believe it.
Great travel meal!
Thanks, Mary.
Thank you both for all the hard work, time, effort that you both put into these wonderful educational videos
So many great delicious recipe also.
Great ideas on how we can be more budget friendly and travel ideas.
I know here I go I am not complaining at you guys at all I just care
Would you guys please change out your choice of oil though
I’m only asking you because the oil is so bad for you.
Certain oils are one of the worst things we can put in our bodies. Could you change it out for avocado oil, ghee or EVOO?
Again, love you guys
not trying to be critical
Thank you.
Good idea.
Thank you! Cheers!
This looks awesome. Don’t forget the gravy!
True! Thanks.
Pam, I bring my own water as well whenever I travel. I usually have a few gallons or the little water bottles, depending on how many days I'm out. I can not take water from tap any where, not even where I live.
That is a safe plan ! Thanks for sharing.
Consider doing yams,,,they would be good option also to add
Another good idea! Thank you.
Where can I find the little car oven? I don't see it on either of your Amazon pages. Thank you!
It is in the Trail Grazers Amazon store, but here is the direct link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07VYXPRML/ref=as_sl_pc_as_ss_li_til?tag=roseredhome05-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=1c98ea512b72e97c7c7fd91772941ca8&creativeASIN=B07VYXPRML&th=1
Ouch! Pricey burger. 😳
Yes it was. We won't be going there again!
Will you heat those in the microwave in your room?
As I mentioned in the video, we will use our camp oven or the room microwave.
@@trailgrazers3690Thanks. I must have missed where you said that.
