My shoulder is recovering nicely and I just got full clearance from the surgeon, yippee! I’ve baked some bread and even made two batches of cookies. The injured list had me antsy to get back in the kitchen. A bicep relocation is nothing to take lightly. There isn’t another option if this fails again so…

Veteran’s Day
Today we remember all the brave patriots who have served our country admirably. Today we honor you. Thank you just doesn’t seem enough.
Our Favorite Thanksgiving Side Dishes
Like a lot of people, we are counting the days until Thanksgiving. For the first time in many years, we will be at home instead of in the middle of the desert with our dirt bikes. It’s going to be different, but in a good way. I’m actually looking forward to it. We will still…
Easy Tomato Soup
Our relentless record breaking summer is finally breaking. After setting 21 hottest temperature records in a row, we are finally getting close to normal temps. Hallelujah! Sometimes you just need a big ol’ bowl of soup. I am a soup girl. I eat it year round, even living on the face of the sun in…
Blueberry Oatmeal Bars
I’m happy to report my shoulder is much better. I should be done with PT by the end of the month, yeah. I’m itching to make things. I don’t know that I’m ready for a cookie scoop; I’m making some old favorite bars that I know won’t tax my shoulder. This yummy blueberry bar fits…
Easy Pumpkin Dip
It’s pumpkin season! We are happy to kick Lady Summer to the curb and lock the door. Come October I am ready for our glorious morning temps. The 100’s can stay so long as the mornings dip into the upper 60’s to low 70’s. I love pumpkin. Specifically, this pumpkin dip. It’s so easy and…
Garlic Mushroom Pork Chops
We’ve been in a bit of a food rut lately. I’ve loaded up on pork loin with BOGO deals the last few months, they are such an easy meat but I don’t want to burn out on them. Mark has discovered he likes green beans so I’m striking while the iron is hot and making…
Rancho Sedona RV Park
We have camped here since we bought our first motorhome in 1999. We badly skipped rocks across the creek. We climbed on the rocks when the water was low. We walked up to “the Y” where all the shops are and indulge in a brownie fudge sundae at The Black Cow Café. My fondest…
Fall into Savings!
We have a new season upon us. Leaves are changing and there is a crisp in the air, just not in our corner of the world. Autumn here means the 100 degree temps are mostly done. It means we’ll be able to turn off the air conditioner and give it a much needed break. It…
Pachenga RV Resort
When we wine taste in Temecula, staying at the Pachenga RV Resort is what we call a “double no brainer.” For us there simply is no other place to stay. The RV resort is located at the Pachenga Indian Casino right off Temecula Parkway, the gateway to many wineries. The campground itself it a short…
