Last week, Brent and I met an older couple while riding the lift. We came down the mountain and ended up on the same lift with the couple again. Our third run down the man said, “We’ll just ride up with you guys.” We learned they spent half the year in the Outer Banks where he […]

My jeans are finally fitting better. I haven’t made an effort to lose weight since I trained for my RKC weekend. I’m generally pretty comfortable in my body (most of the time) but over the last year as we traveled I ate more calories than than I burned. Pretty simple.  I wasn’t fat…not by a […]

This grain and gluten free fried green tomato recipe isn’t really a recipe. It’s more of a fried green tomato experiment that happened to work out. I always refer to these posts as How to I Make ____ because really how many ways can you make a fried green tomato? Tomatoes, breading, salt, pepper, egg, and oil. […]

Remember the 30 day paleo challenge I was doing? That’s okay. Neither do I. Here is  our adventures in eating local while on the road plus a recap of my 30 day paleo challenge and the aftermath. It’s been fun finding local food. We’ve been to farmers markets and farm stands from Maine to Indiana. […]

I have three thoughts this Thursday. Life is Like Berries. A Healthy Dessert. 30 Days of Paleo    Thought One – Life is Like Berries. Two weeks ago after a busy week in NYC followed by a fulltime family RV rally, we decided we needed a few days up in the mountains to unwind. Nearby there was […]

Brent grew up in Santa Maria, California. Santa Maria is known for its unique and delicious style of BBQ and Brent’s barbecuing skills are no less impressive than the BBQ from town where he grew up. He was destined to be a GRILL Hero from birth. Just look at that confidence at the grill! Traditional Santa Maria BBQ […]

We all know that soda isn’t good for us but giving it up can be hard. Are there any healthy alternatives to soda? You betcha! Water kefir, my favorite beverage, reminds me of cream soda with a slight tang. Personally, I prefer water kefir over kombucha. Both of these beverages are so enjoyable that I […]

When I was at the Robert is Here fruitstand, I saw a new-to-me fruit called Sapodilla. Mistaking them for potatoes, I would have walked past had I not read the sign.  “Tastes like a pear with brown sugar!” What??? Yes, please! Brent and I ate most of them plain for dessert. Sapodillas are soft and creamy. They […]

I finally found time to make a new recipe. A tabouli recipe. If you want to call it a recipe. Tabouli is sort of a like a caprese salad. There are pretty standard ingredients with a few variations among recipes. Although, by necessity, mine makes a slight divergence. When I was at Robert is Here, I bought […]

As you may have read, eating on the road has been a bigger adjustment than I had anticipated.  The longer we are on the road the easier it becomes or perhaps it’s just that we’ve been in Florida where there is a year round growing season. Either way, I thought I’d share some of the more […]
