Mmmmm, pesto. I love the smell of it, the taste of it, everything about it. And it’s so easy to make. I like the recipe inside the fresh basil pack at my local Fry’s. I’ve killed one too many basil plants so now I buy it as I need it and their Simple Truth Organic…

Jack Pads
Let’s talk jacks. With our Phaeton, gone are the days of driving up on the plastic lego-like or homemade wooden blocks to get us level. Now it’s a simple push of the button and we are set. But, the surface we camp on sometimes needs better support, especially on asphalt or dirt. And, let’s face…
Happy Thanksgiving!
From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! May you have a wonderful time with those you love.
Paradise Bakery Sugar Cookies!
I have been thinking about these cookies. Really thinking about them. Like, eating breakfast thinking of them. Training for the upcoming 1/2 marathon thinking of them. Thinking of our desert Thanksgiving menu. Walking through the grocery store thinking of them. I have sugar cookies on the brain! My son and his fiance won’t be joining…
Easy Apple Crisp
I went to my first kitchen party not long after we got married. The company isn’t in business anymore, I think Pampered Chef cornered the market and squeezed them out. I still have the items I bought 20+ years later. One thing I use over and over again from that party is this Apple Crisp…
Thanksgiving Turkey in the Dirt
Yes, you read that correctly. For the last several years we have celebrated Thanksgiving in the California desert. Don’t think we skimp on the feast just because we are dry camping in the middle of nowhere. We go all out. It’s a traditional Thanksgiving feast with all the trimmings. The day starts much like it…
Sunset Vista RV Park
Cool breeze, check. Ocean view, check. Hearing the waves crash, double-check. Growing up in Southern California, Orange County specifically, I was lucky to spend many days at the beach. My dad and I spent many Sunday afternoons at Newport Beach after church. My Aunt Nancy lived on Balboa Island when I was little and I…
Sweet & Salty Snack
Who doesn’t love a good snack? Snacks are a key part of any trip whether you’re in a car, truck, minivan or RV. When the boys were little, we were fully stocked in the snack department. Protein snacks, sweet snacks, salty snacks; we had it all. You know what, that hasn’t really changed. I still…
Easy Meatball Sandwiches
Is there anything better than being gone all day, hopefully having a blast, and coming back to dinner ready? I don’t think so. Picture this: You’re camping with friends at the Colorado River. Your days are filled with boat rides, water skiing, wake boarding, floating down the river and your evenings are filled with a…
Magic Folding Ladder
Honey, do we need the ladder? When we had our class C the answer was always no. Mark is super tall and nothing was out of his reach besides the fact we had virtually nowhere except inside to store it. I suppose we could have tied it to the roof access ladder in the back…
