It’s finally cooling off in our corner of the world. The record breaking heat is over, we totaled 34 days of temperatures over 110 degrees. To add insult to injury, we barely got 100 drops of monsoon rain. No matter how long and hot our summers are, once the heat breaks, we Phoenicians emerge from…

Tried and true recipes for the RV life.
Delicious Balsamic Chicken
My friend Tracy sent me this delicious recipe a couple of years ago. We had it several times and then, like far too many recipes, it fell off of our radar. It shouldn’t have because not only is it really good, it’s also really easy. I had this great coupon for red potatoes and this…
Easy Pumpkin Bread
Nothing says FALL in our house like pumpkin. Pumpkin anything, except pumpkin spiced lattes. I am not a coffee girl at all so while a PSL smells great, it definitely does not taste great. But pumpkin bread and pumpkin muffins? All day everyday. This is a super easy recipe that comes together in minutes and…
Easy Pecan Pie
We’re going back to my mom’s Betty Crocker Cookbook for today’s post. As many of you know, this cookbook is a cherished item of mine. My dad thinks she got it when she graduated college but he’s not really sure. To me it’s a gold treasure that links me to her. I turn the pages…
Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin was the first pie I made shortly after Mark and I got married. I used one of those frozen crusts and the all-in-one canned mixes. It was gross, but Mark smiled and asked for more. That’s good husband material there. Making my own pumpkin scared me so I tried the Libby’s can one more…

Homemade Gingersnaps
Mark gets the credit for today’s recipe. One of those pesky ads that seem to dominate social media featured a tasty looking picture. He showed me the picture and asked me to make them. Now. Well, now didn’t work but I found the website and printed the recipe. The title of that recipe was Gingerdoodle…
Double Chocolate Chip Brookies
Chocoholics and chocolate lovers, this post is for you! Today’s delicious recipe comes from Baker by Nature. I haven’t tried one of her recipes that I didn’t love. I could happily make just about everything in her Instagram feed, except recipes with coconut. Not a fan but, I’ll eat it if I have to. Why…
White Chocolate Dipped Biscoff Cookies
The idea for today’s blog came to me somewhere over the Atlantic last year. Remember when we used to be able to travel with the only worry of coming back with an extra heavy suitcase? I’m so looking forward to that again. One of my favorite parts of flying, aside from the occasional upgrade thanks…
Candy Cane Cookies
We somehow always end up with several candy canes after Christmas. I’m not complaining, I love peppermint. As the darn virus dragged on, I found myself staring at them in the pantry wondering what I could do with them. I’ve been playing with different cookie recipes using the basic chocolate chip cookie recipe as a…
