Tip for cooking indoors without DYING from the heat! 
Modified By Leah Nichols  on 6/6/2014 7:44:33 PM)
Hi Everybody,
This is my first post, but I wanted to share something I've learned. It's such a simple, obvious thing, but helps SO much when you're stuck cooking indoors in the heat of summer and your RV a/c just can't seem to keep up, what with 2 or 3 open flames going on your stove. I invested in an electric pressure cooker. Mine's a 6 qt Cuisinart(I plan on getting 1 more, for sure. Hopefully a bit smaller). No open flame, and your food cooks in half the time(actually even less time than that). It helps SO much!! I'm from Cajun Country(HOT), and we tend to cook a lot of pot roasts and such that require hours, sometimes, to get tender. I absolutely LOVE my pressure cooker, and don't know how I managed these long Louisiana summers in our fifth-wheel without it lol. I used to dread having to fire up the stove, cause within 15 minutes it felt like a sauna in my kitchen.

Great idea Leah! Thanks for sharing. I've also struggled with the heat over summer. The worst part is setting off the smoke alarm in the RV. I've also started to grill and cook outside. Moving the picnic table under the RV awning gives it some shade and it is so nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors whilst cooking. Would love to hear about some of your favorite easy Cajun recipes.

Hi Leah,
My wife and I bring our Crock Pot to do some of our cooking in. It comes in real handy! I spend a little time after breakfast doing some prepping like browning off some meat or chicken. Then toss every thing else in the crock pot and turn it on. Then off for the day doing what we want to do. You can find all kinds of recipes on line. We have found some good sauce mixes even in the super markets to make. It's great to come back to the camper after a long day kayaking knowing that dinner is all ready to eat. And you don't have to rush back to get dinner going. I even use it outside under our awning plugged into the outside outlet on the camper. It also great for cooking for a bunch of people. We have some friends that we met camping at the same campgrounds every year at the same time we are there. So our last night there we have them over for dinner and I use the crock pot to do it. More time with friends the last night instead of running in and out of the camper or checking things on the grill.
