Our camp cooking takes the cake!

Ribs done on an open fire... yum!

When we had our boat, our friends were always surprised at the meals we made and served. D would make fresh blueberry scones for breakfast, and we regularly would have elaborate three course meals - all without an oven. We made do with what we had - a microwave and a toaster oven was all we needed to make blueberry scones, pizza from scratch, and even fresh apple pie. I can’t recall ever making hot dogs and Kraft Dinner for a meal, unlike some of our other boating friends. (That’s not to say we don’t like hot dogs. In fact, I think there are some Oscar Meyer Classics in our freezer right now!)

It’s no different in our RV. Although we do not have a toaster oven, we do have a convection microwave oven which does everything we need it to do, and maybe even more - I just haven’t figured it out yet.


Fresh wild strawberries ready for a fruit salad

Pizza from scratch - even the dough!

Fresh caught cod and wild rice pilaf

Even the cat has to get in on the good food

From this,

to this...

to pumpkin ravioli and gnocchi in brown butter sauce...

to pumpkin pie with homemade crust!

What's camping without S'Mores?

There's one thing I just realized... I haven't actually made a cake yet!
