Heading North to Alaska?
Are you driving north to Alaska this summer? If so, be sure to consult the amazing North To Alaska resource. I used this resource when we drove the Alaska Highway about six years ago. I contacted the organization before we left Anchorage that August and everything they told me and gave me, including the map and a guidebook, was priceless. The publication and the online version are designed to help... [Read more]
The Shrimp Shack in Anacortes
One of the joys of traveling is finding small local eateries that serve fabulous food. One such example is the Shrimp Shack located near Deception Pass State Park in Washington. Located on the main road towards the State Park, it’s easy to find and has a steady following of loyal customers. Many of those customers are locals. Others hail from far and wide. Opened in 1973 by Dieter and Laurel... [Read more]

Delicious Picnic Venues!
So, have you had any fabulous picnics while traveling the highways and byways of our country? We have dished up some fun meals while cavorting around with our kids.

I soon learned that I always had to travel with picnic fare—many remote areas of Alaska lack amenities so I became the “fast food”... [Read more]

Make Ahead Meals for the Camper
When you camp or travel in your RV or with your travel trailer, do you ever prepare foods in advance at home and then cart them along with you? I have done this many many times. Of course, this involves extra work at home but the dividends pay off when you are traveling and visiting a new destination. I have found it to be deliciously helpful to have my travel trailer freezer stocked with twice-baked... [Read more]

Cook Some Naan On Those Cast-Iron Skillets!
A couple years ago, we took a family camping trip to Yellowstone National Park. While camping in the Madison Campground, we decided to do most of our cooking over the campfire. We didn’t have any hookups for our camper, so my little galley kitchen wasn’t working at full capacity. This didn’t bother me, because it was quite warm and sunny while we were there. Naturally, I wanted to... [Read more]
