Spring is wonderful in the desert southwest. Our temps are perfect, the sunsets are extra vibrant and you can smell orange blossoms everywhere. It’s also been extra fabulous because this week is FMCA Rally Week. It’s been a great several days making new friends, learning all kinds of new things and even cooking for 550…
Crockpot 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…
St. Patrick’s Day Pistachio Pudding Pie

Healthy Baked Apple Chips
It’s a typical January in central Arizona, sunny and mild. Don’t get me wrong, compared to the rest of the country right now, it’s ideal. Call me greedy but I’d love some rainy weather or something colder than 76. Cold weather is our reward for making it through the hot summer. You’d think all this…

It’s that time of year again. Time for two weeks of non-stop Super Bowl hype. Are your teams still in it? The Cardinals made it to the playoffs but flamed out in spectacular fashion. The Super Bowl party has been at our house for years. The game is on in the family room and on…
