Our quest for eating healthy this year continues. If only chocolate chip cookies were good for you. Sigh. Mark has another triathlon on the horizon and his training is going to be ramping up soon so we really need to get our nutrition in order. No half marathons for me this winter, just a bunch…

Tried and true recipes for the RV life.
Mini 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…
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…
Caprese Sandwich
I can’t believe our Italy trip was almost five years ago. It was such a great trip. And the food! I could go on and on for days about the fabulous food we had. One thing we fell in love with was the Caprese Salad. We had it with dinner on our first night in…
Firecracker 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…
Zesty Lime Cookies
I’ve been on a baking binge lately and the freezer is getting full. I freeze cookies for many reasons, the main one being if they are hidden in the back of the freezer under something then I’m less likely to eat them. But, that hasn’t been working lately. Too many cookies taste just as good…
Cheesy Pesto Bread Appetizers
I just love it when a yummy dish comes together completely by accident. And I love it more when I remember how to make it again! Such is the case with this fabulously easy and delicious appetizer. It was born in Telluride on the last night of our 2017 ski trip. As usual, we brought…
Bacon Provolone Chicken Thighs
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…
Easy Lemon Meringue Pie
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…
Scallops and Zoodles
Raise your hand if you’re trying to eat healthy. Wave your hands wildly if it doesn’t happen everyday. Sometimes you just want a cookie, or ten. I’m sure eating an entire container of Oreos would be frowned upon. Delicious, but frowned upon. No cookies for us for dinner this week. We are still working on eating…
