People often post questions on different forums about “must have” items for their RV. The responses range from a plethora of tools to wine openers and more. We also have a list of things that are so important they stay in our Phaeton. Yes, tools and a wine opener are on that list. So is…
Memorial Day
Memorial Day is the day that’s set aside for us to remember with gratitude and pride all those who served and died for our country and our freedom. May your day be filled with memories and peace. God Bless America
RV Project: New Radio
Out with the old, in with the new. It was time. The original owner of our Phaeton upgraded to a fancy radio/navigation system that was woefully out of date when we bought it four years later. We really liked having the all-in-one system and looked into updating the map. Holy cow was it expensive. Nope,…
FMCA Rally Seminars
The darn virus sure is messing up a lot this spring. Weddings, graduations and vacations are just a few of the things countless people are having to reschedule or forego completely. The FMCA Rally in Tucson also fell victim to that darn bug. We were excited to be a part of another rally. Selfishly, I…
Instant Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip
I vowed to use my Instant Pot more this year. Most recipes I’ve found on the internet are detailed enough but I wanted to be better at all of it. Lucky me we have a great little cooking school in our town that offers a wide array of classes. And, lucky me they offer several…
Instant Pot Weeknight Ribs
We love ribs in our house. I mean really love. I love the smell of them on the grill, the pull off the bone, the delightful mess, everything about them. Except the meat in my teeth. Seriously, as soon as the meal is done I’m in the bathroom flossing away. But, ribs on a weeknight? …
Mother’s Day
To every mother, stepmother, grandmother, aunt and special person who acts as the mom, Happy Mother’s Day! May your day be filled with the love you so freely give.
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…
Instant Pot Green Beans
I am one happy bride right now. Mark now eats green beans. Yes, you read that correctly. My picky super-taster husband is now willingly eating a green vegetable, even asking me to make them! I’ll give you a minute to recover from the shock. I shouldn’t talk so sarcastically. Truth be told, his palate has…
Instant Pot Shredded Chicken
Just about any day of the week you’ll find shredded chicken in our freezer. When our lives were ruled by the boys’ sports schedules, the key to my sanity was found in the freezer and/or the Crock-Pot. I’m still at it, cooking meat and portioning it out for a meal later, with the only difference…
