How I Cook While I LIVE in my Prius! (I got ALL new cooking gear)

Love the new intro with the prius crashing through the river!! That was the best!! ❤

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Cool. Glad it came out good 😊

[@KathrynLee5456]

I have enjoyed watching several of your videos this morning and see your evolution to healthier eating. Cheers! Keep learning and adapting. You are so refreshing. Blessings on your journey.

[@asherramaly2083]

Please post more often! I always am refreshing your channel to see if you posted and am delighted when you do! Also I would love to see some more maintenance videos!

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

OK, working on it. It's not as easy as it seems. Trying to get to where I'm posting at least weekly

[@bill9912]

1:02 The quinoa you had with your salmon is pronounced keen-wah

[@SG-yk3xh]

Good to see your transition to healthier diet and the more refined tool sets for cooking over time. Congratulations on your weight loss! Having a small separate battery pack for running a refrigerator and other electric appliances seems wiser than draining your car batteries every time. I used to drain my car battery system via an inverter for a while, and ended up replacing the main hybrid battery! I can tell that as time goes by, your toolsets and regimens have evolved quite a bit for the better. Best wishes~ ^^

[@1951Roy]

Hope your doing OK, long time no see. Miss your adventures.

[@yusunspitzer4280]

Thanks for another great video! Awesome upgrade on how you cook! You are so adorable! I watch alot of KZbin and you are my absolutely my fav!

Thanks, means a lot 😀

[@howsthat4anopinion]

I love quinoa. It is a complete protein on it's own, so it's great for a meatless meal. Sometimes, I like to add nuts and raisins to it...believe it or not, that tastes good with a little bit of garlic, salt and pepper. It's great with all kinds of veggies. Sometimes, as you know, it comes preseasoned. I love those precooked, shelf stable packets.Aldi is my go to store. Now they have little quinoa meal cups, precooked with a ready made sauce to add at the end. I think those a great small meal or snack on the go. I'll bet I can just sit an unopened one on the dash and have it warm enough to taste good. It wouldn't need to be very warm. Happy Travels!

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Thanks, yeah I'll have to learn about all those different recipes like that for quinoa.

I liked your previous cooking arrangement with instant pot and power inverter.

[@silla-je9od]

Haha, for your video intro, you made a cartoon of when you drove the Prius through the river. I'm working on window inserts for my Prius, as per your video on that. For the window covers I made last year I doubled the Reflectix, but they were still were floppy and didn't up stay in the window. But the Coroplast ones work like a charm, a real game changer, thanks! Keep up the good work.

[@silla-je9od]

fyi, this is Mountain Springs Adventure's DIY window covers video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHawqa17lNmEqdk

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Cool, good luck with the window covers, let me know how they come out. Just fyi, they take a long time, it took me like 8+ hours to make mine lol

[@UNIQUENAME2007]

lived in my prius at big sky ski resort parking lot, now I'm at mt Rainier parking lot . thanks man! your videos kinda set me free!

[@kriskabin]

I'm a nomad too. My dish washing routine is clean the cup, pot or pan immediately after eating out of it. I then clean 99% of the pan with a silicone spatula, just the silicone part, I removed the handle. Then I spray a little h20 in the pan & wipe clean with a paper towel. Done. * Using a spatula head first really reduces paper towel waste/usage. Thx 4 your videos.👍👏 Happy Travels 2u.

[@OutlandishMojo]

Happy to see a new video! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, learn something new every time!

[@cindynichols27]

Tip for salmon: marinate it in seasonings and olive oil in a plastic bag for a few hours for flavor. Also: put a good sear on it with very high heat initially, then turn the heat way down to finish cooking the interior. Don't overcook; that will make it dry. All of this will lock in flavor and give you a nice caramelized surface.

[@candybrown3785]

Put Sea salt on the Fish. Also flaxseed will go right through you without the nutritional benefits. They either have to be soaked or grind to powder in a grinder. But great choices trying to eat healthy. Quinoa is pronounced differently 😁 as someone else 👉 out. But love your journey, set-up, content. So many great ideas and items you use and share. Keep doing what you are doing 👍💕

[@Drmikekuna]

Thanks for your videos, they are always very informative. I'm a part-time van dweller who also uses 100% vinegar to clean my dishes. I have two pots that are the copper/ceramic type and I think using non-stick wfhen conserving water is a must. I mostly use an induction burner if I have enough sun, but I do have a backup butane stove for cloudy days or if I want to cook outside the van. Wishing you many adventures.

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Very cool! And thanks.

[@kikimacdonald2759]

Ive been watching your vids. Im so glad you got off the fast food. Your energy shows through your content.🌸 Real food is the way to go!!!! Your new cook system strongly resembles my backpacking/prius adventuring system. Woot!!! Peppermint Dr Bronners is my fave!

[@roxanes43]

Found your helpful channel recently and thank you so much! Your pantry looks so good! That salmon plate looked tasty. Vinegar is THE answer to so much and I use it every day for cleaning so yay you! It's also so great how you talk about being aware of our bodies needs for nutrition, and you've hit your stride. Not to be out of bounds, but for me you went from clean-cut to cute-scruffy (totally from a motherly perspective!) in a few hours of binging and gathering your useful tips. I didn't see others comment, so just checking you're okay dear. Meanwhile, do you have a method for dealing with trash?

[@11031]

Love this! I see this is your last post in 6 months. I hope to see more of you.

I like the Gas One cause it uses butane or propane. Sometimes butane is not available.

[@dublinvids5146]

Lived in my Prius for a few months this year as was evicted and with the whole Ukraine thing, it was impossible to get a place here in Dublin, Ireland. Anyway, all I cooked with was a Mini George Foreman grill and a crepe maker. If I was to do it again I think I would get an electric wok as they are so versatile. Love the channel, it was a great inspiration for me. Homeless people often die on the streets in Ireland as it can get so cold at night, even in summer months.

[@Adzeoda]

May the blessings be...

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Glad the channel was helpful. George foreman grills work great. Hope everything is going ok there in Europe 👍

[@dublinvids5146]

@@MountainSpringsAdventures Thanks, bro, appreciate it. One thing I forgot to mention which I found to be indispensable (and I think you might also like, and others too maybe) is the Sous Vide devices. They are essentially made to heat water to cook with but also great for heating water for other purposes also, like showering, washing clothes etc. I got the Anova Nano one which is great but there many others on Amazon and elsewhere that I'd say are equally as good. Here's a video outlining how they work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2W7gHqKf7-aeMU

You can actually use propane with those butane stoves. I have a stove similar & got a hose adapter that goes into the butane housing connected to a 5 lb propane hose. Great video!

[@seekingjoynow1722]

It's pronounced KEEN WA. I had to look it up when I started eating it. Very healthy. It is a seed and perfect protein. It's part of my regular diet now.

[@karinhart489]

I decided to get a duel fuel (butane & propane) single burner camp stove that is exactly the same size as your butane stove. Sometimes there is a shortage of one kind of fuel or the other so I wanted a way to have a backup.

I just found your videos, and have been binging on them. Really appreciate the content, thank you! Can I ask why the change to removing inverter? I loved the idea of having the small microwave inside, but wasn't sure the space and inverter cost/installation would be worth it. Thanks for any input!

[@boris552]

I like a bunch of minced garlic and butter or oil on my salmon. Lemon juice at the end is a nice touch too. I don't even add salt, I think it's pretty good as is. How's the bluetti power station working? Solar or just charged while driving? Glad to see you back! I'm trying to put together a similar Prius setup right now and it always helps to see how others are doing it.

one receipe I always go with salmon is fry the salmon until brown both side add lemon, soy sauce and to top it off (if you like) you can spread mayo.

How do you store your propane with hot temps? Do you worry about cannisters exploding

[@sorted1111]

Sup dude how come you stopped posting? Have u sold ya Prius?

[@BryanBear5050]

I have a Prius C and am concerned about how many battery cycles you get before needing to replace the battery. Have you done a lot of sleeping in the Prius with the climate control? I sit on hot days while waiting for an Ubereats order and have not had any issues yet. I was just curious what your experience has been with the battery cycles.

[@brianbuchholz2039]

I will be using my microwave, fridge, and an inverter like you used to have. Did you ever feel the need for an extra 12v battery to wire in to the original to minimize the risk of draining?

[@nancygage7679]

Dawn dishwashing liquid will take the oil out of your skin… use a brush or rubber gloves. Love these recipes for me using at home. Great video. Thank you.

[@Levent-1975]

great vid bur copper stratches not poisonous ?

[@texasuavpilot]

I have small gas one butane (like yours) for emergencies only. I would not recommend it for everyday use since those butane mini tanks are expensive. I got a heavier Camp Chef Explorer, Two Burner Stove with an 11 or 20lb propane tank, much cheaper fuel comsuption, but it requires more space to store and use. In my case, I do have a tiny 4x8 sleeper teardrop that I pull with my Ford Fusion Sedan, so most of bulky/lightweight stuff goes in there. Now for a Prius setup like your's where space is crucial, it definitely makes more sense a GasOne/butane setup.

[@clararomero1089]

I like cooking shows and when they show their wonderful pets.I’ve been eating a lot of sweets lately I need to go on a keto diet. Thanks for the tip to remind me. Have you tried lemon pepper it’s really good spice for chicken ,fish almost everything. Another good video thank you

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

Glad you liked it. No I haven't tried lemon pepper, I'll have to try that

[@ctrlaltnope]

Yo dude, where are the sites you stay when your in Charleston, SC? I'm headed there this week in my Prius to check it out

[@staceysmom175]

I'd add more olive (double what you used) oil to pan, heat it fairly hot first, alone, while you season the salmon with light salt & pepper only, then add salmon to medium-hot oil in pan, turn to medium, cook 2-3 minutes to light brown, then turn pieces & cook to light brown on other side (2-3 minutes per inch of thickness per side). Salmon is much better if its not overcooked (some eat it medium rare, lol, me? medium is good). Once overcooked, its like a hockey puck and loses its texture & flavor. Squeeze fresh lemon (never lemon in a jar or plastic bottle, there is NO COMPARISON) over it & your spinach (a pat of real butter on each is a treat, as well), all while you gently heat your quinoa (I say keen-wah, but ppl all say it differently). Try asparagus with salmon. Also try Ready Rice-of your flavor choice. Like steak, salmon just isn't the same thing if overcooked or over seasoned, light garlic salt is good on it, btw. I'm suggesting this with love because salmon, like steak, ain't cheap, and I think you want to try to cook it much less for moistness & truer flavor. Great you're eating healthy. Recipes online galore! Happy travels living the dream life. I'm jealous!

Very cool! I am curious how you cook when it rains, or if you are in more public places? I love to see someone who eats healthy on here. One of my favorite quick and easy things to eat are the Alaskan Salmon packets from Chicken-of-the-Sea. Fish with no cooking required! You can get them at Wal-Mart, and if you get the 31 grams of protein one that is a complete protein meal! I take one, open the top, put some healthy avocado mayo in, with seasonings like himalayan salt, pepper and parsley, stir it up, and I have a quick and easy, healthy meal. So simple! Would love to learn any quick, healthy eating tips you might have picked up along the way that don't involve cooking or a lot of prep. It can be so tempting to end up in the fast food lane when you are traveling. Thanks again!

[@MountainSpringsAdventures]

I love those salmon packets too. And the pre-seasoned tuna packets. I wish they made pre-seasoned salmon packets but they don't, they only have raw salmon packets. I will definitely try to incorporate cooking more, I know it's a very popular topic

Why are you using your prius less to power things? Have you noticed issues with your car?

[@samshepperrd]

In my neck of the woods, you can typically pick up one of those butane cans for $1.50. Butane is butane. Coleman fuels are always overpriced. They have a monopoly on the green 16 oz propane cannisters and they're up to almost $10 at Walmart. Used to be closer to half that not too long ago. You can get a converter to use the propane cans in that butane stove. To really save, you can get 5 or 10 lb refillable canisters that are much cheaper per use. But you have to make use of the canister. But you only have one of them.
