Ideas straight from our kitchen…or grill, or instapot, or crockpot…
Leaving Arkansas, our landing gear wasn’t working right, so we headed for Pensacola to work around a short stay and a holiday.
This week is packed with the travel, the landing gear issue, a holiday meal experiment, and exploring a new area, as well as info on the NAS Pensacola MWR.
May 9, 2023 May is always a hectic time of year for our family as we wrap up our son’s school year and complete state testing, as well as my own since I am a teacher. Even though I teach year round, many students are trying to finish before summer, while several are starting my…
April 4, 2023 My eleven year old son recently discovered a love of Empanadas while at the RV show and has been asking us to try and learn to make our own so he can choose his own fillings. After researching online and reaching out to fellow friends with a love of cooking, including those…
March 28, 2023 My grandmother was a great cook. Whether it was a meal when we’d visit or a holiday family gathering, the food was always delicious. One of my favorites she made was meatloaf and, when I grew up and got married, it was one of the first ones I learned to make. I’ve…
January 10, 2023 I am a self proclaimed cheeseburger connoisseur. I love a good cheeseburger and, with so many food allergies, it can be my go to meal. I’ve experimented with various recipes over the year. When you live with a pepper allergy, boring meat seasonings are no fun. I have recently been using a…
September 9, 2022 When you have a lot of food allergies, eating can be an annoyance, or even life threatening. Add in the stress of modern life and it is very easy to overeat or eat poorly. Diets are not my thing either–most of them have things I can’t or don’t eat or are way…
August 5, 2022 If you are like me, you are always looking for ways to make routine tasks simpler, especially on those unexpected days. As a teacher and a busy parent, these happen all too often. And since we RV often, this can be a very helpful tool on travel days to have one less…
July 5, 2022 I love chocolate. Sometimes I love bananas, especially since the potassium helps my asthma and leg spasms, as well as my heat tolerance. But mostly I eat them because they keep me healthy and from other medicines. So when I find ways to eat them other than raw, or ways to use…
June 24, 2022 I love a good go-to recipe that can be versatile and thrown together quickly. This one fits that bill, although it does have a lengthier cook time. This is a recipe I got from a friend of mine back when I was still a grilled cheese, scrambled egg and hamburger helper kinda…
June 17, 2022 I am pulling this one from the archives since it is a simple and favorite recipe. This weekend we went out to dinner to a restaurant that normally has banana pudding, but didn’t this time. I was disappointed, as were my dad and father-in-law. Luckily, I had simplified the southern recipe since…
