Today in my little campervan kitchen, I’m doing the kind of simple prep cooking that makes the rest of the week feel calmer and easier. I cook baby carrots in the Instant Pot until they’re perfectly tender (not mushy), and then I pan-sear salmon for a quick, nourishing protein that actually feels like a treat. I also share a fun little experiment I’ve been playing with—lemon juice powder—and it added the brightest, easiest pop of flavor without needing extra fridge space. I also talk through something I know a lot of us wonder about: fresh fish vs. frozen fish. What seems “best” logically, what I actually buy in van life, and why. My big takeaway is that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated—it just has to be intentional. When I meal prep even one or two basics like this, I’m setting myself up for success… and nothing feels better than feeling good.
