We keep cooked chicken in the fridge all the time for easy meals, but I've never tried this method! I'm looking forward to trying it and your tortilla recipe!
Your sofa/couch looks so comfy. It also seems to me that your RV is bigger than my rental here in Lisbon 😮. And I wish I could join your recipe creation workshop- but I will be in another workshop that day. Maybe you’ll do another session later in the year.
I love my sofa so much! It’s so comfy and one of my favorite places. And it’s certainly possible that our RV is bigger than your place… I think it’s a little bit over 400 square feet. How big is your place? I’ll check to see if the workshop will be recorded! And, perhaps we will do another one!
This is a great and classic recipe Rebecca, perfect for winter time when it’s cuddly that you’re seeking. I always have some cooked chicken on hand to throw in a salad or a soup. Thanks for your version of this classic recipe!
Thank you! I’m like you - I almost always have some cooked chicken on hand. It makes it so easy to throw together a meal quickly and ensure there will be some protein in it.
Beautiful meditation on restlessness and rootlessness. The notion that home travels with the four walls rather than being tied to geography really captures something essential about modern nomadic life. I've noticed similar patterns where extended time in one place brings comfort but also starts to feel almost claustrophobic after a while. That cobbler recipe paired with reverse-seared steak sounds like the perfect cozy meal for folks on the road. Practical comfort food that doesnt require alot of specialized equipment is exacty what nomadic cooking needs.
Yes! I also love that we know we can return to a place anytime we like. It takes some pressure off (Have we done all the things? Seen all there is to see?) to know that if we really liked a place and didn't get enough time there, we can just go back.
I was definitely a pioneer when I was younger but then became a settler once we had kids. And now? Still have that restless feeling but am not sure if we really want to move. Love that you get to spend more time in each place this year and looking forward to seeing your takeaways from it!
My husband and I mentally divide people into settlers and pioneers, and know exactly in which category we fall lol. Six weeks is about our limit, tho the tension starts rising at about week 3. I cannot wait to get in a room with you in March and just talk!
Love the decorating in you trailer. We've had our six years and changed ours a lot but I never considered wall paper. Did you put some up to get the blue wall? We'll be replacing the carpet in our bedroom this winter. It's going to be a big job. I'm thinking I'll put up pictures and progression of the job.
Hi there! Thank you! We've wallpapered the walls surrounding the couch a couple of times and learned that self-sticking wallpaper is much more difficult to work with than the kind that requires glue. Just a little piece of advice in case you ever decide to try it. I painted the rest of the walls and the kitchen cabinets. We also replaced the flooring in the entire RV last year and swapped out the solid surface countertops with butcher block. It was a pain in the you-know-what, but worth it. I would love to see pictures of your progress as you tackle similar projects!
I can relate to that restlessness so much. As a teenager, I dreamt of traveling far and wide, and honestly that feeling never left. Military life fed that need perfectly... we moved constantly. Even during our 10 years in Hawai'i, we moved four times within Oahu alone!
In the beginning, I think I was trying to escape a lifestyle I didn't want. Now it's just about the thrill of discovering new places and cultures, seeing how different and beautiful this world is (I'm so addicted to the photography Substacks right now!). The earth is gorgeous, a true Avatar.
Your idea of home really hits home for me: home is Speed and wherever we happen to be together. We're nesting right now, but I can easily see us moving back to Europe in 5-10 years. Or to another state. Or wherever.
That's what I love most about your lifestyle... it's the perfect balance of home and exploration. You inspire me in so many ways, but that combination is number one on my list!
Thank you so much, my friend! We've never met in person, but I think I know enough about you to say with 100% certainty that you will find a way to have that balance of home and exploration even if your home is in Florida for the rest of your life.
I like the idea of taking your home wherever you want to go. It's like travelling in your suitcase, a magic and cozy one to boot.
Yes!!!! That’s exactly right!

That’s pretty much my rationale Rebecca, to have an easy on-hand source of protein.
Oh… this post is so perfect. 🤩
And no, that day is not this day.
