Well, after an 18-month hiatus, we got our RV out of storage and started our travel adventures again. It’s been long overdue and definitely needed. For the first trip of the summer, we decided to head a bit south and east for a Tour of America’s Heartland. Our trip took us out of Colorado, into
West Elk Loop Scenic Byway
A few weeks back we did a quick RV road trip through Colorado. Time was not on our side, so I picked out a quick route that I have never done before but have always wanted to do! I looked at the atlas and saw this cool loop that we could do in 3-4 days.
Western Scenic Byways
As you may have noticed, I fell off the grid for a few weeks in June. Not that I don’t love you all for following my blog, it’s actually good for my soul to turn off everything and enjoy all the beauty that is really just in our backyards. My motto is to take the

Sauerbraten (German Pot Roast)
Well, it’s definitely autumn in Colorado. In the course of two weeks, we have gone from 90-degree temperatures to the low to mid 60’s. I have broken out the long pants and sweatshirts and even turned the heat on this morning. It makes me a little sad but it’s all good. Early autumn in Colorado

The Ultimate Summer Road Trip
First off! I’m home and ready to get back to my normal routine of writing recipes, posting on my blog, walking the dogs, tennis and oh yeah.. my day job selling houses!

Asian Chicken Shiitake Mushroom Burgers
So this weeks craving is courteous of my tennis partner. She mentioned a couple weeks ago that she was craving Asian food and only likes “chicken” burgers and not “turkey” burgers! She also mentioned that she would like shiitake mushrooms and water chestnuts in the burger as well. Well, Marcy, you got your wish. Big and juicy Asian
Korean Barbecue Ribs
It seems only fitting to make Korean food this week since we deep into watching the Olympics! Or at least I am! Lol! It’s been fun to watch, especially the kid from Silverthorne, Colorado, Red Gerard. I used to live up there and I’ll tell you, Silverthorne is pumped for it’s new star! So pumped that they
