I was shocked recently to see the Walmart stores in the Austin, TX area no longer have bags at the registers! Shoppers can purchase cloth bags but if you do not purchase the bags you just have all your groceries and supplies in the cart! I had to empty the frozen food, veggies, fruit &...

The Florida Strawberry Festival starts very soon. That means this is THE best time of year to get those wonderful, sweet Florida strawberries. It seems a little strange in the midst of snow/ice to be getting great strawberries but this is the time of year so don't miss out! When I was a...

This is probably an idea you will have to make next time you are home since you may not have the bowls in your sleeper. Purchase a package of cubed cheese (we like sharp but any cheese will do). Using those little glass bowls (spray with PAM) place two cubes in the bowl. You can cook four...

A few years ago I mentioned about a problem in the sleeper with really dry feet. I found that the inexpensive little slippers in the pharmacy of WalMart really help this problem. While I was purchasing some (in Christmas colors) today it reminded me that we have a lot of new ladies on EO that...

Hey, ChefDennis, you haven't shared your amazing meals with us lately. It is time! We have winter coming and we need ideas! My husband and I are passing through Memphis so we plan to go by Corky's and get some bar-b-que to take with us (one of your great ideas- never pass up good barbque)...

Black grapes are back at Sam's Club! If you haven't tried these amazing grapes it will be a great time to try them now. Like cherries, they are only in the stores at certain times of the year. Someone from CA could probably tell us the times of the year you can get these. Last year we...

We just purchased fresh cherries at a local Sams Club. Cherries have a rather short buying season so don't miss out on these! They are packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins. They are the perfect sweet, juicy snack when you are driving down the road.

I tried the peach crisp recipe posted earlier and had no success. Thanks for trying Jenny but the recipe didn't work for me. I bought all the ingredients and made the crisp but the oatmeal got yucky soggy and I ended up throwing the whole thing out. We are near Atlanta so I got wonderful...

I think fresh peaches will be coming in soon to the stores and apples are now being picked in VA. So with that in mind, I would love to have a peach crisp or apple crisp recipe that I can fix in the microwave. It is easy to find these recipes for the oven at home but surely there is way to...

Linda Caffee (affectionately known as Linder) had such a great idea for Green Tea. My husband and I both like Green Tea but we drink a lot of coffee and having another cup of a hot drink wasn't too appealing. Linder suggested that we put a green tea bag in our bottle of water, let it sit for a...

We have found the most amazing lasagna at WalMart. It is ready to heat and eat. It is in the section of the store where they sell beef/pork roast and mashed potatoes and veggies to heat in the microwave. I think this must be new. I don't recall ever seeing it before. It is Milano's Italian...

Fresh cherries are back in the grocery stores! Yahoo! These little fresh cherries are packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins we all need! They are only available (the American version) from June through mid August so take advantage of them while you can. We love to put them in a bowl and...

Hey Chef Dennis! We know you were a chef in a former life and we have heard you mention your meals on the road that are in those sealed packages. So can you help us out here? Give us some ideas of meals you take on the road and how you do them. Do you put an entire meal in a sealed...

It is that time of year again when we start having some summer salads with our sandwiches or meats that we cook on the grill. I just bought all the ingredients to make a pasta salad with some fresh veggies and pork bar-b-que. Anyone do salads in the summer that keep well in the fridge for a...

This recipe is amazing and it is perfect for the truck. You can fix it in your crock pot with no problem. I used my new Kitchen Kettle and it worked great. Slow Cooked Chicken & Veggies 2 boneless/skinless chicken breast - frozen 1 small can seasoned black beans 1 small can seasoned diced...

If you haven't yet bought a small fan for your sleeper, now is a good time to do so. We have a roof vent fan in our sleeper and we use it but we also have a small desk fan that makes a huge difference this time of year. It oscillates so even with the a/c on the air continues to move. That...

I left my shower bag at home the last time we were there and it was a good reminder of the things I love in my shower bag since I had to buy more! Coco suggested something that has helped me a lot. She suggested getting a little suction cup container usually in the linen section of the...

Frank & I wear Red Wing steel toe shoes and they are really comfortable and last forever but with Spring/Summer coming I don't want to wear my steel toe boots. My granddaughter insists that I am wearing her granddaddy's shoes! I just discovered that WalMart has steel toe tennis shoes!!! They...

I recently bought some Bisquick cheesy biscuit mix in the little pouch. You simply add 1/2 cup of water to the mix to make those wonderful cheesy biscuits. I used the GT Xpress cooker and made three large biscuits but if you don't mind getting your hands in the mix, you could make normal size...

Have you tried this yet? I am so amazed at this wrinkle release spray. You just spray it on your clothes and smooth out the wrinkles with your hands. It takes about 10 min to dry and the wrinkles are practically gone! I didn't think it would really work but I decided to invest in one bottle...
