I love cake mix cookies, especially in the RV. They are quick and easy to make and really good. You can turn pretty much any cake mix into a cookie. Some of my favorites are Red Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies and Easy Cake Mix Cookies. Today’s cookies are born from a shopping mistake. First…

Tried and true recipes for the RV life.
Easy Zucchini Cakes
Attention in the building! We have joined the Blackstone craze. Mark wanted a 22-inch Blackstone for Father’s Day, we had a nice little scavenger hunt finding the one he wanted in stock. Wife of the year here, we bought it at Walmart, those that know me well know how much I dislike that place. He’s…
Esther’s Enchilada Casserole
I’ve known Esther for over 30 years. We worked together at the American headquarters of a major car manufacturer. We hit it off right away and have been friends ever since. When she got married, she and Joe moved to our town. Before we moved to Arizona she shared her Enchilada Casserole recipe with me….
Independence Day Parfait
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…
Blackstone Philly Cheesesteaks
I’ve been to Philadelphia once and had my first real Philly Cheesesteak that day. I already loved them, thanks to our friends Bill and Deb, from Eastern Pennsylvania who made them often. We made them off and on over the years. Then Mark got the Blackstone. Mark rattled off all the things he wanted to…
Red, White & Blue M&M 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. …
Juicy Burgers
Growing up, grilled hamburgers were the quintessential BBQ food. Every pool party served them. When our boys were knee-deep in sports, burgers were the team party food. I think just about everyone has at least one summer memory that has a burger somewhere in the mind. We were pretty lazy regarding our patties. The giant…
Deb’s Summer Broccoli Salad
Cue to Father’s Day close to 20 years ago. It’s pool party time with several friends and neighbors for our annual BBQ. Sometimes the number of people change but one thing remains the same; really good food. The guys cook for us on Mother’s Day but Mark insists on manning the BBQ for Father’s Day. …
Lemony Delight
Easter in Arizona is always an adventure, weather wise. After our winters are over, we look forward nervously to the warming temperatures of spring. We don’t want the 90’s to arrive too soon because that means the 100’s are not far behind. If only we could have January and February temps year-round, sigh. Most times…
Easter Cadbury Blondies
I can’t be the only one that stocks up on holiday candy. I just can’t be. My grocery store always puts the holiday candy on sale 4 or 5 weeks before the holiday. I’m talking a screaming deal sale that when combined with my coupons, makes them super screaming deal. Who doesn’t like a bag…
