Cajun French: le jardinage (lu jar-deen-aj) – vegetables
Having grilled shrimp and sweet potato fingerlings left over, our creativity kicked in for breakfast. Individual grilled shrimp omelets adding mushrooms, peppers, garlic, and onions sounded good. Out came the Griddler and we started chopping.
Mais C’est Bon!

Mm Mmmm does that ever sound good! Did you cook that in your RV? I can’t wait to be preparing meals in our new RV on a full time basis. People don’t realize that it is just as easy to make delicious meals in a small galley as it is in a big kitchen. In fact sometimes it’s less tiring because you have less walking around.
Thanks for the comment. This dish was cooked outside using a Griddler. We cook out as much as the weather will allow. You are correct about cooking inside an RV. We have cooked some fantastic meals in the RV and wowed friends. Cooking isn’t so much about facilities yet more about having fun and enjoying the process. Happy Travels and hope to see you on the road.
