There is nothing I enjoy more than coming home from corporate America and preparing dinner in the Airstream on these beautifully sunny Seattle days. Except for of course, preparing dinner in our Airstream when we are actually on the road – on vacation, lol :)
This time, last year we took our Airstream to the San Juan Islands, specifically to Orcas Island where we camped with her at West Beach Resort. This island holds a very special place in my heart and I truly believe that if you visit, she will hold a special place in yours too . . .
Here is a link to ♥ ALL ♥ our outdoor and culinary adventures on Orcas Island :)
Oh beautiful Oregon. How I love you and how much I realize a trip back is in order. Our trip visiting with you last Spring was one we will never forget . . .
We were sad to be leaving Kahneeta. We had such a wonderful time spending our days hiking, swimming, golfing and just relaxing. We will forever remember the good times we had there.
Like anything else in life, it was time to move on. We had a schedule that we needed to stick to if we truly wanted to visit all of the places we had in mind in Oregon.
So off we went. Our next stop was Smith Rock State Park in Terrebonne where we would be able to see some rock climbers in action.
When we arrived We pulled the Airstream into a nice big spot and had a picnic lunch of prosciutto, feta and tomato tartines accompanied with Burrata.
Oh that Burrata.
Today was a rainy (and chilly) day in Seattle. Shocking, I know :)
With the sound of the heavy raindrops outside, I always get the urge to bake and today was the perfect day! I’ve been inspired now for quite some time to bake since our recent trip to McCall, Idaho. During our trip I met many people who raved over “Stacey Cakes,” which is a sweet little bakery run by Stacey Kucy. I couldn’t visit because I became sick but she was so thoughtful to send me some goodies in the mail wishing me well because she heard just how badly I wanted to visit.
Below you are witnessing some of the culinary magic that Skillet Street Food (based here in Seattle, WA) creates out of their Airstream. I pulled the next three photos off their Facebook page that you should really visit (unless you are starving of course – be warned) and LIKE if you love Airstreams because these guys really know how to cook good food, Airstream style and they do it well!
Fennel crusted fried chicken, chipotle mac & cheese and collard greens with tasso ham ♥
BBQ pulled pork with pickled mustard seed slaw on a potato roll ♥
Chicken and Waffles ♥
Not only can you find them cooking away at select locations in Bellevue and Seattle — you can also come visit their brick and mortar diner located at 1400 East Union Street in Seattle as well as at their new addition, “The Counter,” located in the armory at the Seattle Center. They also cater as well – weddings, birthday’s — you name it. How sweet is that? Having an Airstream cater your party? I love it.
Additionally – Skillet also DELIVERS via Amazon Fresh or you can place an order to be picked up and re-heat in the comforts of your own home.
“Perfect,” I thought to myself as I perused their website before we left on our trip to McCall. This was exactly what I was going to do. Pick up a couple dinners and we would be set.
Afterall, this trip of ours to McCall was one that was full of hour-by-hour adventures that would bring us back to the Airstream late in the evening. I knew I wouldn’t be in the mood to cook, even if it were simple. Having Skillet in the picture during our trip was a HUGE help.
So the day before we left on our trip I B lined it to their location in Bellevue to pick up the goods (and a recipe book!) and say hello to the Skillet crew :)
We enjoyed their most awesome mac ‘n cheese with a kale Ceasar salad that was out of this world. Hello? Kale Ceasar? I did say that and it was delicious! One of our other dinners consisted of chipotle pumpkin bbq pulled pork that we devoured alongside Brussels sprouts covered with Skillet’s very own bacon jam. There was enough left over to enjoy the pulled pork over the left over mac ‘n cheese the following day. Skillet packages their goods to go in oven ready containers and two of them fit perfectly side by side in the Airstream oven. Worked out perfectly and oh so delicious :)
So whether you are heading out of town like we did and won’t have much time to cook, pick up some dinners from Skillet to enjoy on your trip. Super easy to re-heat and prepare and oh so delicious!
Here is their menu from their Diner too.
Now do you believe me when I tell you their food is out of this world? Simply outstanding culinary creations if I do say so myself!
That awesome shot of their Airstream above was taken in Seattle and is from Skillet’s Facebook page :) LOVE that shot, so much ♥
