Is there anything better than being gone all day, hopefully having a blast, and coming back to dinner ready? I don’t think so. Picture this: You’re camping with friends at the Colorado River. Your days are filled with boat rides, water skiing, wake boarding, floating down the river and your evenings are filled with a…

Tried and true recipes for the RV life.
Honey Butter Potatoes
I love sweet potatoes. Yes, I mean love. Not as much as chocolate but close. They are my “chocolate” vegetable. I eat them baked and plain. I don’t even put butter or brown sugar or melted marshmallows on them, just plain. I like them in a casserole, candied like Aunt Loretta does them, mashed and…
Pumpkin Sugar Cookies
We’re about halfway through the “all things pumpkin spice” season. My Pinterest feed is full of pumpkin spice this and pumpkin spice that. I won’t be surprised to see a pumpkin spice turkey recipe next. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some pumpkin; just not pumpkin everything. Except for these cookies. These cookies are…
Mashed Potatoes with Bacon & Cheddar Cheese
We’re knocking on Halloween’s door and about to enter the annual Eat-a-Thon that is the holiday season. I can’t be the only one that looks around wondering where the heck 2017 went. I mean seriously, wasn’t January just last week?! Halloween not only means costumes, decorations, parties and trick-or-treaters; but it also means it’s time…
Aunt Petti’s Cornbread Casserole
I just love old family recipes. They are tried and true and make great memories come to mind every time I make them. This one reminds me of Thanksgiving. Mark’s Aunt Petti did Thanksgiving for the family. Sometimes 40 people; her door was always open. My first Thanksgiving at her house was as a 19-year-old…
Foil Packet Chicken
The BBQ is the dinner star when we are camping. Is it just me or does everything taste better when you’re camping? Relaxing in the woods smelling a tri-tip on the grill is something I will never tire of. But we can’t eat tri-tip every night on each and every trip; our doctor would not…
RV Friendly Tomato Soup
Sometimes you just need a big ol’ bowl of soup. I am a soup girl. I eat it year round, even living on the face of the sun in Arizona. And I love Paradise Bakery’s Fire Roasted Tomato Soup. But, they were bought out by Panera Bread. Nothing against Panera, but their version just isn’t…
Amazing Breakfast Casserole
Nothing is better on a trip than a great breakfast. At home it’s usually cereal with fruit, bagel with fruit or peanut butter toast. But when we camp, we do breakfast right. I’m talking really right; bacon, eggs, sausage, hash browns, french toast and more. This is especially true when we circle camp in the…
CHOCOLATE! Chip Cookies
My love for chocolate runs deep. My Aunts Nancy and Marla showed me early in life what good chocolate was all about. There’s even a candy company in my family. My Aunt Rose and Uncle Dave have, in my opinion, the best chocolate in the country. Redstone Candy is a staple in Pennsylvania, you should…
Pesto Zucchini Zoodles
Eating healthy. Why can’t we eat cookies and bread all day and still fit in our clothes? At Mark’s last physical, the doctor told him to reduce his overall carbohydrate intake. There isn’t a concern for his blood sugar but in general we Americans eat far too many carbs. I know this but, insert whine…
