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. …
Red, White & Blue 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…
Salsa, Arizona Style
Those of us that grew up in the southwest know. We get to eat great Mexican food whenever we want. There is no planning a trip here for mouthwatering carne asada or perfectly crafted enchiladas. When you’re in the area, I encourage you to check out local Mexican food restaurants! Today I’m sharing two very…
Lemon Sugar Cookies
This recipe was one of those happy accident kind of things. I made blueberry bars that called for some lemon juice and had 1/2 a lemon left so I hopped online and found this wonderful gem. When I made it the first time, I had already cut and juiced the lemon for the blueberry bar…
Perfect Folding Ladder
Honey, do we need the ladder? When we had our class C the answer was always no. Mark is super tall and nothing was out of his reach besides the fact we had virtually nowhere except inside to store it. I suppose we could have tied it to the roof access ladder in the back…
EZ Hook
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 The original owner of our Phaeton upgraded to a fancy radio/navigation system that was woefully out of date when we bought it four years later.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…
