Save Money By Meal Planning

One way to save money on your next boating vacation is to have a meal plan for all meals to be eaten on board.

Having a detailed menu to follow when planning your boating vacation saves time and money.  A family project can be to sit down with everyone and plan your meals.  Usually for children favorites are a must.

Easy Family Boating Recipes

Easy Family Boating Recipes is a new blog I have created with recipes and articles on cooking aboard a boat.

Outfitting and preparing your galley, menu planning, and finding quick to prepare recipes all make feeding your crew easier. Visit: Easy Family Boating Recipes

Several of the recipes make use of a thermos to prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

An article "Crisp and Fresh Lettuce Storage" provides tips on keeping lettuce on board.

I invite you to visit Easy Family Boating Recipes for full details on the above and much more.

Boat Without a Galley - Feeding the Crew

Preparing food for a crew, even in a small boat without a galley, is possible.

A picnic is an idea for boating when there is no galley onboard. Foods such as sandwiches, cut up veggies, fruit, cookies or bars can be stored in a cooler along with water.

I find it's always good to have something hot to eat or drink. One or two good thermos bottles filled with boiled water before leaving home opens up many possibilities. There are convenience foods from cereals to soups and noodles only requiring hot water.

A thermos of coffee is ideal for coffee drinkers. Bringing a thermos of hot water to make tea, hot iced tea, or hot chocolate are ideas for the small boat. Even if your boat has a galley, filling thermos bottles before leaving port allows hot drinks to be prepared underway without lighting the stove.
