We were down in Orange City, Florida for 2 weeks while Allen was working on a tower there. They finished up the Tuesday before Memorial Day and we were supposed to head to a job near Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Then the customer in Arkansas decided he didn’t want to be off the air while they worked on his line for his antenna so he was contemplating getting a standby antenna (so he could still broadcast but his signal just wouldn’t be as strong as the main one). So the company told us to sit tight while he decided. All the equipment was on the site in Orange City that they needed in Arkansas so we got a couple days off. Continue reading

Not to mention, anything you can make in one pot saves a ton of time and space, and space is ALWAYS at a premium in RVs…
This is a first for me though, making pasta in the crock pot, but it came out great! Continue reading

Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin & Veggie Rice Bowl
What’s not to love about a grilled pork tenderloin? (even if it isn’t wrapped in bacon like this one) The teriyaki sauce adds lots of flavor, and it’s homemade!

Healthy, Homemade, Delicious!
Hawaiian Chicken Kabobs
I made these last night for dinner and Allen said “you should blog about this!” If he says that, I know it’s definitely going on the make again list… So here it is! Continue reading
