We are building a home and we haven't completed our kitchen. This has been a challenge with the cold weather as I have no oven. My indoor cooking consists of a microwave. You have to be pretty organized to complete a hot meal.

One thing that might make your life easier on colder days is a crock pot. They are inexpensive, and you can cook virtually anything in them.
We went through that some years back when 2 of my boys were small. We ate in the living room (no dining room) and I washed dishes in 2 dishpans in the bathtub. Back killer that was! I cooked on 2 hot plates on a table in the living room. The children thought it was great fun to have picnics every day! Remember what they always say, "These are the 'good old days!'"
A few years ago we were without a stove for at least a month. I got by with cooking with an electric skillet, microwave, crock pot, fry daddy and gas grill.
Try an electric skillet - I use one a lot on the back porch during the summer months to keep the heat out of the kitchen.
I'd recommend you spend $12 & buy yourself either a propane single burner stove from Walmart or spend the same & buy a new electric one burner from Walgreens drug store (if you have Walgreens in your area) & sometimes you can even get a $5 rebate! You won't be sorry...
Of course you won't be wasting your money because you can always use either of them later on in a hotel room while traveling to make coffee or food, or you can use the electric one to keep something hot at a buffet & the propane one when camping... Of course, I bet you don't even need a tiny stove to camp with since you have a big one in your motorhome!
While our kitchen was being remodeled, we used a hot plate for nights we wanted pasta, a crockpot for daily stew type meals (pot roast, chicken). Microwave for other items. A charcoal grill outside for other meals.
