On the way, but tasty

Anyone who appreciates the independence of traveling and explores the world with their own motorhome or other vehicle knows how important an aspect of such trips is proper preparation - also in terms of provisions. After all, the point is not to stop at a roadside restaurant or fast-food bar for every meal, but to be as self-sufficient as possible. Thanks to good organization, we will provide ourselves the opportunity to eat what we want, while reducing the burden on our budget.

First of all, you should carefully plan your menu before embarking on a trip. Sounds banal, but it happens that while driving, we either lack an idea for a meal or some of the ingredients and, as a result, give up, we end up in a restaurant. Therefore, it makes sense to have a precise meal plan for each day of travel - it will save you both time and money.

Simplicity is the key

When planning, remember to choose the simplest possible dishes. If someone is a fan of sophisticated dishes and would like to taste, for example, duck in oranges while traveling - no problem, but other participants of the trip may be a bit dissatisfied. It makes the most sense to choose stews , reheat sets and meals that can be quickly grilled. Such a dish can be spaghetti, soup, omelette, stew, grilled vegetables, fish or meat. The leftover food can be used for the next dish.

After you plan your meals, make a list of the ingredients you will need. Some of the products will probably be found in the kitchen cupboard, so you can cross them out of the list, while for the rest you have to go to the store. The culinary essentials include salt, feathers, various spices and sauces . It is also worth remembering that ingredients such as vegetables, milk or cream can be bought later during the trip.

Saving time is essential

Before leaving, you can mix some of the ingredients and mark it properly - this will save even more time spent on preparing meals. You can also put the recipes together with the products (not the ones that should be in the fridge, of course) to avoid getting confused on the go.

When we prepare everything and pack it properly, all that remains is to enjoy the trip. During the trip, we will probably try new flavors, maybe we will also get to know completely new recipes. But each time it will be only our choice, and that's what it's all about.

Now just look for the right campground and hit the road!

Visiting the south of Sicily
Sicily, known as the Island of the Sun, is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Its south-west part is only 100 km from the coast of Africa. The landscape is more hilly and mountainous with steep shores. What to see in this part of Sicily? What dishes characteristic of this largest region of Italy are worth trying? We invite you to read!. Let's start with Ragusa, which is one of the main cities of the southern part of Sicily. The main attractions of visiting Ragusa should be the valuable baroque monuments of sacred art - the Cathedral of San Giovanni, the Duomo si dan Giorgio and the Church of San Giuseppe. Apart from them, take a stroll through the historic city center, full of narrow streets that are climatically inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Interestingly, the city was almost completely destroyed during an earthquake in the 17th century, and after rebuilding it was divided into two parts - Ragusa Superiore and Ragusa Ibla - the latter is particularly interesting due to the romantic atmosphere among quiet alleys with a Baroque history in the background. Another point of family holidays in Sicily - one of the most important cities of the ancient world. It is worth seeing the cathedral, behind the facade of which is the temple of Athena from the 5th century BC. Then you can check out the city of olives and almonds, or Noto. From the monuments you will see the cathedral with two twin towers and the Church of Santa Chiara. In turn, 50 km from Marsala you will find excavations in Selinunte - to this day most of them are hidden in the ground. The last, but equally important, stop should be Agrigento with its famous Valley of the Temples. There is also a large port nearby, from which the ships on the Pelagie Island - Lampedusa and Linosa depart.
