No Cook RV Lunch
Make your favorite sandwiches for lunch and eat them in your RV or bring them with you on a hike. If you are dining in the RV, add a side of soup or salad. For cold weather, heat a can of your favorite soup to go with your sandwich. For warm weather, try a refreshing cucumber salad. To make a quick cucumber salad, dice up two cucumbers into bite-size pieces, chop one tomato into bite-size pieces and crumble one ounce of feta cheese. Combine the cucumbers, tomato and feta cheese in a bowl and mix in a drizzle of Italian dressing.

2 tbsp. cornstarch to thicken the stew
16 oz. of broth to cover the meat and vegetables Add more broth or water if needed to cover all of the ingredients. (Use beef broth for beef stew and vegetable broth for vegetarian stew.
Put the lid on the crock-pot and turn it on. Go out for the day and enjoy the outdoors. Come back hungry for dinner to the delightful smell of your slow cooked crock-pot stew.
