Cooking onboard

Fresh bread with breadmaker

   While we travel, people ask us if we cook much while on board.  (Do you cook at home? sometimes we get silly questions.)   So, I thought I would dedicate today's blog to some of the cooking we do in our home.  We have a 2 burner stove and a microwave/convection oven, as well as a wok & an indoor grill. (AND a coffeemaker - very important!)  Our special appliances are our Margarittaville Frozen Concoction maker (for yummy frozen drinks!) and a bread maker.  The bread maker is one of the newest addition, recommended by other cruising friends who know it is difficult to get fresh bread in the islands (and sometimes the store isn't close).  We have fallen in love with the breadmaker!  The kids won't let me buy store bought bread anymore (except rolls).  We are also enjoying our indoor grill, as we can use it to make steaks, burgers, quesidillas, paninis, etc.  Today, thanks to a wonderful recipe from my sister, I made yummy cinnamon rolls using the bread maker and oven.

   Eating out if fun when we get to new places, but not so good on our budget.  So we usually cook most meals onboard, and eat out for special times.
