Recipe of the Week – Jerk Chicken and Stuffed Mini Bell Pepper Poppers
Who doesn’t love stuffed pepper poppers? Well, probably anyone who doesn’t like too much heat or is trying to eat healthy since they are breaded and deep-fried. The only guilt that you will feel eating these stuffed peppers is how many of them you will end up eating, but don’t worry they are actually pretty […]
Recipe of the Week – One Pan Jambalaya
We made a decision when we were tent campers that we did not want to create lots of trash so we always use real plates, silverware, and cups to reduce our footprint just a little. Whether you are in a tent or RV, washing dishes is a big bummer so one pot meals are always […]
Recipe of the Week – Savory Bacon Cheddar Biscuits

Recipe of the Week – Asian Marinated Chicken with Corn and Basil Faux Fried Rice
When we’re camping, we love meat marinades. Before we leave town, we can weigh out several meals and prep various marinades then throw them into plastic storage bags and toss them into the freezer.

Recipe of the Week – Taco Rice Salad
Taco Rice Salad has all the favor of tacos or nachos without the calories of chips or wraps. We enjoy it as a quick dinner or even leftover for lunch. It reminds us a little of the popular bowls at places like Hothead or Chipotle. Start out mincing some garlic and tossing it a skillet […]
Mackinaw City/Mackinac Island
Two places where we have never seen so many fudge stores! As a matter of fact, the residents of Mackinac Island are called “fudgies.” Yes, fudgies! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. We started with a day in Mackinaw City which is a small little town. In our opinion, the draw of this […]
Recipe of the Week – Easy Chicken and Potato "Kabobs"
I love to cook, that is not a surprise to anyone who knows me (Brian). I don’t love to spend a lot of time cooking usually (though I do believe that making a wonderful, intricate recipe can also be very cathartic in the right time and place). This recipe from the Baking Beauties at Faithfully […]
