I have had fun setting up my carvan pantry, fridge and freezer this morning before heading out of the suburbs, to Phillip Island where we set up our caravan site beside a solar heated swimming pool in a lovely bushland setting caravan park.

  • Fridge Essentials I won’t go into too much detail here as you will be getting your week one shopping list soon and I don’t want your food to spoil. To give you an idea, apart from fresh fruit and vegetables, you will need:

    • Low-cal cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
    • Low-cal (skim) milk or soy milk – high calcium is best
    • Low-cal yoghurt, no sugar
    • Meat for sandwiches
    • Multigrain or soy and linseed bread
    • Parmesan cheese (strong flavoured so you use less)
       Free range eggs
      cellery,
      carrots.

I add more variety to this, in my weekly shopping, but these items are usually in my caravan pantry

We have just picked up the caravan from caravan court in Springvale where we have it serviced and had a new wind up TV antenna fitted and where we would get any rv repair. Work we need done, completed.  I was amazed at just how much I was able to stack into this pantry cupboard.

I have bought fresh pots of growing herbs, mint and chives and these travel with us to add extra flavour to our meals.

    _Happy New year :-)
    I am going to combine several seemingly contradicting eating and exercise programs and put together my own Artslim Naturally slimming and Gray-Nomad fitness program.  I plan to bring these out as a low cost EBook and small paperback. They will suit anyone interested in managing weight with son=me difficult health conditions such as metabolic syndrome and past injuries.

     I'll be showing you some of the books I am reading that have some excellent qualities, although they will not be exactly what I am putting together to suit me and my style of doing things.
    I will be focusing on eating and exercising for wellness, weight loss if obese, weight management and balanced fulfilling lifestyle..
