Van Life Meals | Comfort Food, Wild Game & More 

Now THAT is a SALAD!!! ❤❤❤

love how Akela is by your side....watching, waiting for scraps, chilling and loving you!! Thanks Linnea & Akela!

If there was a van life scrumptious looking cooking award, you’d win!

All looks tasty. My fav salad invention from me to you. RECIPE: make ranch from a packet, refrigerate. loosely shave as much red cabbage into a large bowl you're comfortable using as a trough. cut up half an avocado grate a carrot and lots of cheddar cheese. pour in ranch and toss. So simple, but rich, yummy and filling. And cool in the summer months. No cooking and ready quick. Thanks for another great video.

Our favorite sandwiches are as follows: enough rotissaried chicken cut into bite size chunks for one or two sandwiches, 1/2 c. of mayo with 2 heaping Tablespoons of freshly minced Tarragon. Mix well and spred liberally on a slice of bread. Top with chicken chunks,. Top this with 2 strips of cooked bacon, and top the bacon with slices of fresh avocado. Yumm! The second is a Tapp sandwich. Mix 1/2 c. of mayo with 2 heaping Tablespoons of freshly minced peppermint leaves. Spread liberally on bread. Top with two slices of pan roasted Turkey. Top this with paper thin slices of Granny Smith apple and top the apple with a slice of Provolone or Havarti cheese!

Love how hearty all these meals are! Thanks for sharing them with us ❤ On the simmering broth for hours energy efficiently front, my mum and I use a Thermos Vacuum Warm Cooker (and other cheaper imitations like it) - it ends up only using about 15-20 minutes of active burner time! We just boil everything using the removable internal saucepan for about 5 minutes before slotting it right back into the 'flask' then leave it to stew in residual heat for a few hours (usually takes 2 rounds of this, maybe 3 depending on how rich you want the flavours) You may have come across this already and decided against it due to space constraints but thought it worth recommending in case it ends up being helpful to anyone because it's saved us so so much on gas ☺

Love the little dance you did when you started eating your salad. That's how I know it was super good.

I'm a first-time viewer of your videos, and I just wanted to tell you how proud of you I am. You are living your dreams through your wit, innovation; creativity and the love of the land. Akela and the other dog are simply charming, and your recipes look so delicious. You exude a positive and loving soul. All the best to you on your life adventure and journey.💕

Another recipe you might like: seafood salsa (any desired mix of precooked seafood in Pace salsa, little pink shrimp definitely) avocado cream cheese. Slather a spoonful of each on sourdough bread as you eat it. Sooooo yummy. One of my favorite things in life. Love!

I have to pause the video right here and now because--mind blown! Why have I never thought to roast the almonds in the chicken pan!! I, too can devour a big tasty salad like yours. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes! Oh and keep rocking that messy hair!! Love it!!

Blowing the dog bowl crack me up .

Loved this - please share more meals - quick & nutritious 👍🏼❤️

"If you haven't noticed, I don't measure." "The most important ingredient in sautéed onions is patience." Yes!

This was fabulous ! Please do more like this for a nice balance. What great fun ,easy and delicious meals.

YES... Please make more videos like this! I'm looking for different ideas and enjoy your taste in food... sending ❤ from Tennessee

Love these recipes. People get in bad eating habits while living van life. These are great. Side note, you actually don’t have to soak beans. They can just be cooked. Learned that from a 3 star chef! Try it once. You’ll be surprised.

When cooking "dry" (like ground buffalo or ground turkey turkey or ground chicken) meat, mix some amount of cole slaw with the meat. Comes out really juicy.

Hi Linea. I loved seeing what you cook/ make. The blacked salmon looks interesting, and I really love the look of the salad & the chicken & mushroom pasta dish. 😁🇦🇺🇳🇿💜

Thanks for sharing!!!

I have been wanting so bad to see this hun . Thank you so much. I hope you do more and snacks and drinks.

Looks all very delicious…Thank you!

For us who try to eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle this type video is very interesting

So many delicious recipes thanks so much!!!! You are such a great cook!!!

Delicious! Looks so good!! Thank you for sharing.

Loved this episode! I watched while I made cucumber toast with cream cheese, so I was definitely here for all of it!! 😊 Burger tip: press your thumb into the center of the patties before cooking. It stops them from "balling" up and makes for a more evenly cooked burger. 😋

I loved this and cannot wait to make everything you showed us on here. Yes, do more on what you make and eat.

This recipe can turn out a ton of different ways!

I love this video thank you hope to see more.

looks like your soup is going too be so yomy good apeti love seu from quebec canada

This was a delightful video to watch. I'm not a meat eater, but I was impressed with both the recipies and the care with which you cook. I very much enjoyed this vlog and hope that you will share more of your food ideas in the future.

The next time you make mac n cheese, try draining a can of tuna and adding it in along with a can of green beans. It sounds weird but tastes great!

Awesome!

Thank you for sharing some of your recipes 💞 For me, in the future, you could ad one now and then. It’s a little bit overwhelming to watch them all in a row. Some of them I remember but as they are so many, some hides. 😅 I just love to watch your life and your need for nature and tranquility! I feel just the same! Nothing makes you feel so at home and so completely “in your self” than to be in and with nature. Our off grid place give me jus that but also the stunning mountains in Turkey. Looking forward to next week already! Enjoy nature and Akela ♥️🐾

New here Love the videos and yes to more watching you chef it up!!

Wonderful, delicious recipes 😋 I love all the fresh ingredients, no wonder you're so healthy. 😊

Totally loved your video

Great vid! Love watching van cooking

Yumi yumi!!!😍

I really enjoyed watching you cook those delicious meals. Akela wanted some as well.. lol.. great video 💕

Hey Linnea & Akela!!! Those meals look delicious! It's soooo good to see you again. I was following you religiously from the time you started VanLife until you put your solar in (about a year ago), but I was out of [watching] the VanLifer community for the past year or so. I'm back now as I continue to move towards the day when I leave the workforce, my sense of urgency for VanLife transition is escalated. Time to get my shyt together. Hopefully I'll be seeing you on the road someday. Continue to stay SAFE out there in them VanLife streetz (& roads). I KNOW that your videos are continuing to help a LOT of people. Keep up the good work and Thank you for sharing. 😎

I love your respect for food🙏 Great cooking with beautiful recipes 👌😊

Good video, I've never rally cared for chiken.But I've got to try that last chicken recipe, it had my mouth watering.Yes the mosquitos are terrible in Montana this year.

i made the chicken and noodles at the end it was amazing and super easy thnx for the recipe!

All of your meals sound and look yummy. That last one though is very intriguing.

Your food looks delicious, I’m saving this video so I can try some of it. Thank you for the video 💚

My family loves you two!!!!

Apples and peanut butter are soooooo good

I loved this video....all the recipes looked delicious

Lots of YUM! going on here :D. Excellent recipes. Thank you! Oh yeah .... YES I'D LIKE TO SEE MORE!!!

Love the dog watching,as I am living in a tinyhouse with a lab and a coonhound,so I totally get it. Setting out on my journey at the end of September and love the tips I get from your channel and others, because I learn a little from all of you. Thanks Monty

I love your healthy meals. Your easy lunch is a favorite of mine too (leaving out apples as I can’t have them). Homemade dressing is the best and I don’t measure either. Give Akela a hug from us.

Such a great episode! I've seen you do this bean soak so many times on your channel, and I definitely want to try this. Everything looked so tasty!

Please share more videos of cooking in your van! ☺️

Great episode about food. Keep'em coming. Thank you
