This is one of those desserts that after you try it, you’ll exclaim, “Where have you been all my life.” Trust me, I know things. My mother in law has made this for years. She made it in her house kitchen and now makes it frequently in her RV kitchen. She wrote it down for…

Firecracker 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…
Patriotic M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies
Remember the jingle “Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet?” I propose a new one: “Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and cookies!” And by cookies, I mean these festive and delicious red, white and blue cookies. Warm chocolate cookies are number one on my list of favorite treats. For me, there is nothing like it. …
Red, White & Blue Jello Parfaits
Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle, it’s Jello brand gelatin. Jello is such a fun and easy dessert. Fancy Jello desserts make their appearance every year during the holidays but they are sometimes forgotten the rest of the year in our house. If you’re looking to get your kids involved in the kitchen, making Jello…
Salsa, Arizona Style

When you’re in the area, I encourage you to check out local Mexican food restaurants! Today I’m sharing two very…
Lemon Sugar Cookies

Instant Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip
I vowed to use my Instant Pot more this year. Most recipes I’ve found on the internet are detailed enough but I wanted to be better at all of it. Lucky me we have a great little cooking school in our town that offers a wide array of classes. And, lucky me they offer several…
Instant Pot Weeknight Ribs
We love ribs in our house. I mean really love. I love the smell of them on the grill, the pull off the bone, the delightful mess, everything about them. Except the meat in my teeth. Seriously, as soon as the meal is done I’m in the bathroom flossing away. But, ribs on a weeknight? …
Salsa Verde Con Queso Dip
We are chips and salsa people, 100%. We never turn down a second basket in a Mexican restaurant. I guess I shouldn’t say never because we are trying to keep our weight in check. Cheesy salsa, that’s a whole other ball game. You will always find a brick of Velveeta and a can of Rotel…
Instant Pot Green Beans
I am one happy bride right now. Mark now eats green beans. Yes, you read that correctly. My picky super-taster husband is now willingly eating a green vegetable, even asking me to make them! I’ll give you a minute to recover from the shock. I shouldn’t talk so sarcastically. Truth be told, his palate has…
