I’m going to get the important part out of the way: everyone should go on a swamp boat tour! Our “almost two full days” in New Orleans turned into a very late arrival and one full day thanks to slide issues on the RV. Luckily our Plantation and Swamp Boat tours weren’t affected. We…
Mount Rushmore
I remember seeing pictures of Mount Rushmore and thinking to myself, “Someday, I’m going to get to see it in person.” Someday has arrived! Even better, it was the first time to see this giant wall of granite for both of us. As is becoming a theme with us, I wish we had planned more…
Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day friends! May your day be as sweet as your favorite dessert with all the love of a bag of heart candy!
Red Velvet Valentine Cookies
Yowza these cookies were good. And easy. They might just be the best little Valentine’s treat. You all know how much I love cookies; I’ve confessed it many times. Cake mix cookies are my newest love. They take no time at all to make and require minimal ingredients and equipment. They are perfect, perfect I…
Decadent Valentine Brownies
Heart shaped brownies have been a Valentine’s staple in our house since the boys were little. We rarely did a Valentine date night. Instead, we ate in the dining room with the boys on the fancy china with them drinking their milk out of the wine glass. Brownies cut into a heart were our dessert…
Game Day Chicken Wings
These crispy air fryer wings win hands-down for a good Super Bowl menu item. Even though the Bills won’t make it this year; I might make a huge batch in our oven that has a bonus air fryer. Boy, do these deliver a touchdown! Super crispy, super delicious, super easy and super RV friendly. I…
Game Day Chile Verde
We love Chile Verde and if the Broncos make it to the Super Bowl, this will be our AFC dish. We like to time our visits to New Mexico and Southwest Colorado in time for fresh chiles. In fact, we have a stash of them in the freezer right now. I never thought Mark would…
Meatball Sliders
We love meatball sandwiches. They are easy, feed a crowd and are delicious. Meatball sliders are a delicious addition! Our annual “turkey in the dirt” has had an appetizer night for years and we’ve recently included it with the group we ride with. You’ll find Brian, drink in hand, tending his grill with another new…
Ice Cold Savings with FRVA
It’s December and I know some of you have tucked your toy away until spring. Here in Arizona, we are lucky that we can use our rig year round. I go through withdrawals when we haven’t gone somewhere over several weeks; I can’t imagine not using it for several months. No matter where you are…
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! May 2026 be the best year yet!
