Tried and true recipes for the RV life.
Corn Salsa
It’s that time of year again. Time for two weeks of non-stop Super Bowl hype. Are your teams still in it? My Cardinals have been out of it since Week 1. The Super Bowl party has been at our house for years. We set up an extra TV outside and have a huge spread of…
Rosemary Potatoes
Cooler temps in our little corner of the world mean more BBQ’s! Don’t get me wrong, we grill year round but big BBQ feasts are regularly part of our life during our cooler weather. This wonderful little side dish came together in the produce section of my grocery store. I had two great coupons, one…
Ham & Cheese Sliders
Wow these are good. And easy. And RV friendly. I’ve made these a few times but the latest batch was by far the best. I changed one little thing and hit it out of the park, foil. Our annual Thanksgiving turkey in the dirt is really an eat fest all weekend. We follow the big…

Easy and Meringue in the same sentence? You betcha! In our house, pies aren’t just for holidays. That’s why we run. And right now we are running a lot. This recipe comes from my mother in law, Gail. She found it in the recipe book for her very first microwave over forty years ago and…
My Mom’s Apple Pie
I have this tattered cookbook on my shelf that I can’t part with. Ever. It was my mom’s. 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 and wonder what recipes caught her eye,…
Gail’s Foolproof Pie Crust
Mmmmm, pie. Pumpkin pie, apple pie, chocolate cream pie, lemon meringue pie…I could go on and on. Along with soup, pie is something I could eat year round. And it all starts with the crust. Light and flaky that doesn’t overpower the tasty filling. A nice golden brown crust edge is the perfect frame for…
