The quest of healthy eating continues. Why oh why aren’t cookies healthy?! There is reason to celebrate eating healthy in our house, though. Mark’s “meatatarian” mantra has softened a bit recently and the man likes more vegetables! This is where you picture me standing on a mountain top in a victorious manner celebrating the addition…
Air Fryer Baked Potatoes
It’s no secret that summers in the desert southwest can be hot. The oven is rarely used from June to September, cookie making aside. Baked potatoes have made a comeback in our house, even in the summer with our air fryer. They are just as easy in the air fryer. Cooking time is a little…
Strawberry Shortcake
I love strawberries. There, I said it. I love them almost as much as chocolate. Lucky me, I grew up near strawberry fields in Southern California. Orange County was THE place to get strawberries fresh from the field. At one point we lived across the street from a strawberry field and the owner would let…

LBJ and GWB Homes
We dubbed our trek across Texas The Presidential Drive. We drove east across Texas on a mission. We had two days to get from Arizona to Georgia for the FMCA Rally which meant little time for stopping. But, a wonderful thing happened in the early morning as we left Van Horn, TX. Mark agreed to…
Walking Downtown Fredericksburg
As I’ve said many times, I love me some little downtown areas. I love walking up and down the streets, especially ones with old western boardwalks, and learning the histories of these places. Downtown Fredericksburg, in the heart of Texas Hill Country, ranks near the top of all the downtown places we’ve been. I’m so…
Aunt Nancy’s Cranberry Jello Salad
Every family has that staple recipe that no holiday can be without. This is that recipe for my family. My wonderful Aunt Nancy has made this for as long as I can remember. Every Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter this dish was present for devouring. Sneaking a second helping was always a yes for me. She…
