Like a lot of people, we are counting the days until Thanksgiving. Our annual turkey in the dirt is going to be another fun weekend. We will still be stuffing our face with good food, especially all the side dishes. Don’t get me wrong, I love turkey but all the delicious side dishes take up…

Tried and true recipes for the RV life.
RV Friendly Tomato Soup
Fall has finally arrived in the desert southwest! The AC is off until next year, the mornings are crisp and cool. I like to celebrate with a big bowl of tomato soup! I am a soup girl. I eat it year round, even living on the face of the sun in Arizona. And I loved…
Easy Apple Chips
It’s a typical October in central Arizona, sunny and mild. Call me greedy but I’m dreaming of weather colder than 76. Cold weather is our reward for making it through the hot summer. A girl needs her snacks and preferably ones that crunch. These apple chips fit the bill perfectly. They are an all natural…
Easy Pumpkin Cake
Making this was the first cooking “test” for my shoulder after the bicep relocation. I took it real easy since there isn’t another option if the reattachment fails. I’m happy to report this has become a family favorite! This week I really wanted to make something pumpkin and I decided on a pumpkin Bundt cake. …
Cheesy Asparagus
Mark has been anti-vegetable for as long as I’ve known him. Yeah, there were a few he would eat; peas, corn, potatoes and artichokes but that was pretty much it. Early in our marriage he added salad to his repertoire, but only iceberg. He called it a Honeymooners Salad, lettuce alone. Insert hysterical laughter here….

Your children will eagerly dip apple slices in this while conquering their homework and looking at you angelically. Your RV driving partner will proclaim you the best snack maker ever after devouring the plate put together during the…
Zucchini Cakes
Oh, how we love our Blackstone! It was a game-changer when we bought it a few years ago and now, we cook outside almost exclusively. The best part for me is I never have to wash that electric griddle in the tiny RV sink again. Which brings me to today’s post. When we got…
Cast Iron S’Mores
S’mores hold a special spot in my heart. We had them at every girl scout camp out and many times as a teenager hanging out at a friend’s house. Our family camping trips with our boys featured the yummy and messy treat at almost every campfire. I love seeing our boys’ messy smiles while eating…
America 250 Cookie Bars
Independence Day is a time to celebrate the birth of our great country. We celebrate with parades, fireworks and great summertime food. While apple pies, cherry pies and ice cream are tops on the list, these sugar cookie bars are giving the traditional favorites a run for their money. They are tasty, RV friendly and…
America 250 Bundt Cake
We are excited to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday! The house has been decorated for a while, even our patio lights are red, white and blue. I can’t wait to make this patriotic bundt cake again! I used to make Bundt cakes when I was a kid. My dad was a big fan of the mix…
