From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! May you have a wonderful time with those you love.
Paradise Bakery Sugar Cookies!
I have been thinking about these cookies. Really thinking about them. Like, eating breakfast thinking of them. Training for the upcoming 1/2 marathon thinking of them. Thinking of our desert Thanksgiving menu. Walking through the grocery store thinking of them. I have sugar cookies on the brain! My son and his fiance won’t be joining…
Easy Apple Crisp
I went to my first kitchen party not long after we got married. The company isn’t in business anymore, I think Pampered Chef cornered the market and squeezed them out. I still have the items I bought 20+ years later. One thing I use over and over again from that party is this Apple Crisp…
Thanksgiving Turkey in the Dirt
Yes, you read that correctly. For the last several years we have celebrated Thanksgiving in the California desert. Don’t think we skimp on the feast just because we are dry camping in the middle of nowhere. We go all out. It’s a traditional Thanksgiving feast with all the trimmings. The day starts much like it…
Sunset Vista RV Park
Cool breeze, check. Ocean view, check. Hearing the waves crash, double-check. Growing up in Southern California, Orange County specifically, I was lucky to spend many days at the beach. My dad and I spent many Sunday afternoons at Newport Beach after church. My Aunt Nancy lived on Balboa Island when I was little and I…
Sweet & Salty Snack
Who doesn’t love a good snack? Snacks are a key part of any trip whether you’re in a car, truck, minivan or RV. When the boys were little, we were fully stocked in the snack department. Protein snacks, sweet snacks, salty snacks; we had it all. You know what, that hasn’t really changed. I still…
Easy Meatball Sandwiches
Is there anything better than being gone all day, hopefully having a blast, and coming back to dinner ready? I don’t think so. Picture this: You’re camping with friends at the Colorado River. Your days are filled with boat rides, water skiing, wake boarding, floating down the river and your evenings are filled with a…
Magic 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…
Honey Butter Potatoes
I love sweet potatoes. Yes, I mean love. Not as much as chocolate but close. They are my “chocolate” vegetable. I eat them baked and plain. I don’t even put butter or brown sugar or melted marshmallows on them, just plain. I like them in a casserole, candied like Aunt Loretta does them, mashed and…
The Marvelous TrackMat
I’m standing on the proverbial rooftop shouting the good news of this most awesome item that every RV needs. I’m serious. This mat is all that and more. It all started last November while I was reading the latest Motor home magazine. Tucked away on page 66 in their Tech Savvy section was this must-have…
