The Caravan Pantry

Pantry Shopping List for Caravan.2/12/2020
I have had fun setting up my caravan 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

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