Attention in the building! We have joined the Blackstone craze. Mark wanted a 22-inch Blackstone for Father’s Day, we had a nice little scavenger hunt finding the one he wanted in stock. Wife of the year here, we bought it at Walmart, those that know me well know how much I dislike that place. He’s…

Tried and true recipes for the RV life.
Pesto Pasta Salad
I was scrolling through my Instagram feed recently and saw a delicious picture. Like, wow, I have to make this today because it looks so good kinda picture. Not less than an hour later I received a text from our dear friends inviting us over for a BBQ that Saturday. Fate I tell ya. Today’s…
Marinated Cucumber Salad
There I was, flipping through recipe books and scrolling through my All-Star board on Pinterest, looking. Looking for something to make. We were getting ready for trip to Happy Jack in the cool pines of Arizona and I was stumped. I’m not liking the scale right now so I was looking for something that was…
Pineapple Cake Mix Cookies
I love cake mix cookies, especially in the RV. They are quick and easy to make and really good. You can turn pretty much any cake mix into a cookie. Some of my favorites are Red Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies and Easy Cake Mix Cookies. Today’s cookies are born from a shopping mistake. First…
Pineapple Angel Food Cake
Are you ready for one of the easiest desserts ever?! I’m talking two-ingredient easy. Two ingredients you might just have in the pantry right now. It’s been a favorite in our house for years and I predict it will become a favorite in your house, too. You may be asking, is it really only two…
Gillette Roundup!
Wow! What a week! The 103rd FMCA Rally in Gillette, Wyoming was one to remember. Rallies are an action-packed four days of fun and this one was no exception. But, the fun starts before Wednesday. This rally was a family affair for us. Not only were my fabulous in-laws coming but two of Mark’s cousins were…
Slow Cook Instant Pot Spaghetti
Yeah, yeah. The Instant Pot is a whiz at making really good meals really fast. Did you know it’s also a pretty darn good slow cooker? I knew it could do it and have friends that rave about it, I just never tried. We led an RV cooking seminar at the Perry FMCA Rally in…

Patriotic Bundt Cake
My dad recently turned 80 and wanted a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate chips inside. The chocolate cake recipe calls for a cup of buttermilk and the smallest size I can buy is one quart. Not to knock buttermilk but, I can’t drink it straight, yuck. It was time to find something besides…
Jalapeno Popper Dip
The pool is warming up, summer is here. Our daytime temps have been hinting at summer for a while but, our nighttime temps have been gloriously cool so the pool has remained a little chilly. Not anymore. We were recently watching golf while lounging in the pool, thank you Covid, when a backyard BBQ commercial…
