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…
Super Spinach Salad
Sometimes you just need a big salad for lunch or dinner. I don’t order salads in restaurants all that often. Most times they are way too big or are drowning in salad dressing. When I do, I order the dressing on the side and ask for a take-out container right away. In my head, it’s…
Happy Easter!
From our Easter basket to yours…
Butternut Squash Ravioli Bowl
I admit I’m a little late to the butternut squash party. However, it’s a party I’ll be dancing all night at and will be the last one to leave. I never thought to buy it for us. It’s a vegetable, and a new one to Mark at that, so I never thought he would even…
Lemony Iced 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. Credit Passion for Savings for these delicious little cookies. When I made it the first time, I had already…
Blonde Brownies
I know it’s spring now and I should be thinking about making lemony things or lighter desserts but I can’t get these blonde brownies out of my head. Mark’s been training for a triathlon so we’ve been eating better. Thank goodness that’s over! Well, for a hot minute as we do have two runs in…
Silver Strand State Beach Campground
Sun, surf and sand? Yes please. Growing up in Southern California the beach was a big part of my life. Anytime we get the chance to get back for some fun in the sun, I am all in. Silver Strand State Beach fits the bill. Silver Strand is a nice little campground in the state…
Spring!
Hello Spring! It’s a glorious day in the desert today. A perfect blue skies, windows open and not too hot kinda day. I sure hope these wonderful spring temps last a long time before the steady stream of 100’s arrive. It’s time to start planning our camping trips north.
Summer in Telluride
Our first visit to Telluride was in the summer of 2001. We were working our way home from a trip to Yellowstone and stopped at the KOA in Ouray on the other side of the mountain. The campground had Jeeps for rent complete with trail maps and the camp host said a trip over the…
Winter in Telluride
It’s time to ski and Telluride is calling. For us, Telluride is an easy 8-hour drive. How can I say easy and 8-hour in the same sentence? Well, the trip breaks up nicely so it doesn’t really feel like eight hours. We drive up the mountain to Flagstaff where we top off the gas and…
