I have a single burner propane stove (a Coleman single burner) and no cooler or fridge. Two knives, 3 spoons and 1 fork. A spatula.
Cleaning Dishes
I hate to wash dishes. Much of my cooking decisions are predicated upon how many dishes I have to deal with. Embarrassing, but true.
I use cloth towels (from the car department in Walmart) and Dr Bronner’s soap on the stainless steel plates and bowls. The plates and bowls are very easy to clean, are lightweight, are darn near indestructible. They can be used as lids, scoops, fans and for measurements.
Meat and Veggies
Spicy or regular V-8 is a whole serving of vegetables. And doesn’t require cleaning a chopping board or knife. V-8 instead of water in ramen or rice or soup is a nice treat. Spam is meat that doesn’t need refrigeration. Wide varieties of beans come in cans. Avocados and bananas and apples come in their own packaging . Sardines and tuna come in animal proof packaging. Flour tortillas last for a very long time. A six pack of eggs last about a week without refrigeration … if its not freezing or sweltering outside.

Bean & Tortilla
Notice the veggies (V-8) and the fruit (peaches) and the fiber and crackers. And no dishes.
Easiest
P-nut butter is fatty and full of protein. With banana or apple it is filling and yummy. Mix p-nut butter with siracha and coat a tortilla for weird take on a spam taco.
This is the newest easy treat. Tasty Bites are very tasty. They come in 6 or 7 different veggie selections. Just put the package in boiling water for a few minutes and eat out of the package. Only with a spoon to clean!
When the local food markets are open I sometimes grab veggies and feast … even if it involves dishes.
I still love fried spam and eggs. Much love, db

So good and salty and fatty and easy. Some days call for that combo. Some days I add fresh veggies. I am out of cell phone range often, so answer/acknowledgement may be tardy. Thanks for reading and commenting on the blog.

You are an amazing woman!! I love this article, I too am not one to be in the kitchen. Don’t forget a pie iron, no stove required just a nice relaxing bonfire. Simple easy recipes and easy clean up.
Have a wonderful day.

Pie iron is a great suggestion. It even will work on the propane stove. That will be my next kitchen purchase! Thanks.
