Ooohhhh, last night’s dinner was one of those amazing and delicious happy accidents. Chicken thighs topped with bacon and provolone on the grill then topped with fresh sliced avocado. Say it with me: YUM We’ve had a similar chicken dish for years as a sandwich. The grocery store had a buy one, get two…

Tried and true recipes for the RV life.
Zucchini Cakes
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…
Pesto Pasta Salad

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.

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…

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…
