Nutella S'more Dip

As I was scrolling through Instagram, I noticed a newer follower, who had the most amazing photo of "Nutella S'more Dip" on her feed. Obviously, I had to ask for the recipe to share with you all! She was so kind to find it and I'm posting it for those who have that sweet tooth. This is a great thing to make if you aren't near a fire or want to create a tasty treat right in the comfort of your RV or home.

RV Like A Girl | Spiced Up S'mores

When you RV Like A Girl...you do things a little out of the ordinary. You have the rustic camping option, but you also have the glam side of camping...which is what I prefer! 

I like to take a drab concept and create something "out of the box" with it. S'mores are a "normal menu item" while RVing...so let's spice it up a bit!

I know anyone can have a classic s'more over the fire. However, when you RV Like A Girl...you must get creative on how you present a s'more to your fellow RVers. I found a few cute ideas to recreating the classic s'more, but with a twist! 

These ideas are so creative if you happen to be throwing a party or need a fun party favor. I think packaging is everything, and regardless of what you are doing with a s'more...it's always fun to present it in a cute way. I've listed the blog links so you can have easy access to these fabulous bloggers or sites.

How cute is this from Spaceships & Laserbeams? I love the twist on the s'more transformed into a cupcake. There may be times you are entertaining your guests while RVing...but it is RAINING outside. Bummer. This is your backup plan! Make sure you stock your RV pantry and get your oven ready to use!

___________________________

Let's thank Ciera Design for this SIMPLE, yet trendy way to display and recreate the classic s'more! This is a cute way to make your guests extra special at a party. These are fun little s'more pops.

___________________________

Of course, The Knot always has the cutest ideas. Are you looking for a unique way to send your wedding gifts home with something memorable...and tasty? I love this idea! 

___________________________

Wedding O Mania has a great idea for any type of party...not just for a wedding! I think it is a cute way to play up the s'more and RVing theme, with the little details that make it a unique experience. These are the cutest party favors! If you are entertaining guests while you are out RVing, these is a cool way to present it to them.

___________________________

So, for your next Birthday party you have to throw for the RVer in your life...play it up with S'mores! Forget the traditional cakes and start that bonfire and do some roasting over that open fire.

Which one will you make?

Happy RVing!

RV Cooking: My Fav Food Bloggers

I wanted to share some of my favorite food bloggers and cooks with you all. It can be difficult to figure out what to make for snacks, lunches or meals for you and the family in your RV! Or, maybe you want to learn how to make the same thing, but switch it up.

 Sure, you have your favorites and your go-to's, but it's nice to try new things.

Some rely on cookbooks, some go to Pinterest. Others go online and follow food bloggers. Whatever it is, I'm sharing a few resources for you that you can use while RVing.

I learn a lot from my mom, but also like to try different resources here and there too!

______________________________________________

The Kitchen 

     I love The Food Network Channel! This show is not only entertaining, but they create EASY snacks and meals for you. They incorporate real life problems and situations...whether it is making meals for picky eaters, children or entertaining with friends and family. They address issues and problem solve within their meals. Not to mention, they hit on the classic picnic meals, formal dining or that tasty afternoon snack! You should check out their site and save some of their recipes. I'm sure you may recognize some of these famous chefs too. They are a hilarious bunch!

Shay Shull aka Mix & Match Mama

    Let me get this out of the way....one of my guilty pleasure shows is The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Yes, I said it. Ok, Shay's brother is Sean Lowe, who you may have seen as a contestant on the show and eventually became The Bachelor. Long story short, I came across Shay through the show and saw she has this Lifestyle/Food blog, where she posts all her recipes and meal plans. She also has some cookbooks too! I have one of them and can't wait for her new one to come out. I've made a few of her meals and they are so easy and tasty! Shay has children and is a busy mom, but she makes it a priority to put a meal on the table for dinner. Her food blog is a MUST to check out and create her meals. (Photo Credit: Shay Shull)

Above, is a photo of Shay's Sausage, Mushroom and Kale pasta I made this week. SO. GOOD. 

The best part is that it had a healthy dose of a protein, veggies and I got that carb fix! I used Pork Sausage and swapped the Kale for some Spinach.

I love that you can "Mix & Match" her recipes and ingredients.

Dinner at Tiffani's   

 I also love watching The Cooking Channel. I'm throwing it back to the Saved By The Bell days...with Tiffani Thiessen! She has a show on TCC called Dinner at Tiffani's. She makes practical meals for the occasion and they are full of heart and soul. It is my mission to make her game day chicken wings this fall! Check out her tasty meals for the family. Below, is a recipe Tiffani has of some Chili & Cornbread...COOKED OVER THE OPEN FIRE! RVers, she gets it.

These are just a few of my favorites to watch and try their recipes.

RV Cooking: Mango Pico De Gallo

If you're anything like me, you just love anything and everything MEXICAN FOOD!

I don't believe in "Taco Tuesday," because I think tacos can and should be consumed any day and everyday. So, I bought some Mango Pico at the store and fell in love. I thought I'd recreate it and make it myself, that way I can have it whenever.

This is perfect to dip some tortillas in, top your taco or add it into a salad! I pretty much treat it like Summertime in your mouth year round. 

This is the perfect fix for your sweet, savory and spicy cravings.

The recipe I used was from Group Recipes, however, 

I tweaked it a little and added my own personal flare to it. 

Grocery List:

1 bunch of cilantro

3 roma tomatoes

1/4 c. of red onion

1/2 tsp of salt

1 serrano or poblano pepper

1 ripe mango

Dice the veggies as fine or chunky as you want it. Lightly toss it altogether. You can let it sit in the fridge so the flavors marinate together, or dig in!

Dip it with the chip or top on the taco and salad and you're done.

I squeezed fresh lime juice in it, and used red and white pepper, to equal the 1/4 cup. It adds more color and tones down the red onion. I typically tweak all recipes and add or eliminate certain ingredients to suite my liking.

I think I will add some fresh peaches in there next time? That may be a good idea if your mango ends up not being sweet enough or has enough flavor. Michigan doesn't always get good mangos, so it's always hard to depend on a good one! 

Wouldn't this be the best on top of your taco themed hobo pies this Labor Day?!

RV Cooking: Homemade Tortilla Chips

Ladies, we all get the munchies...you know what I mean.

You crave that crispy salty chip or you may have that sweet tooth. 

I typically just go and buy a bag of tortilla chips at the store, but I thought I'd try making some in this convection oven! I know some of you RVers may be hesitant with trying to work a convection oven in your RV. Do not worry! 

I am going to show you how EASY it is to operate. It's takes CONFIDENCE and ACTION!

 Just keep in mind, the more you practice and cook, the more comfortable you will be with using and preparing food in this type of oven. It is a little different than a regular old school oven or microwave, but give it a try!

Tune on in! I also show you how to whip up some tortilla chips.

Watch & make some chips with me!

RV Cooking: Blueberry + Peach Crisp

"The best of both worlds in one bite!"

____________________________________

Have you ever wondered what it tastes like, to have that fresh homegrown Peach and Blueberry combo?

Well, let me tell you....it is the best of both worlds in one bite!

This is something so easy, you will want to whip up right as you are reading this. You most definitely can cook this in your RV...I know the whole campground will be at your place!

____________________________________

We purchased our fresh peaches 

down the road, at our local peach orchard. 

It is called Summer Sweet Peach Orchard...we make weekly stops there! 

Our blueberries are from Grand Haven. We love Reenders Blueberry Farms. We also make weekly visits there...it's kind of embarrassing. Yes, we buy the 10 pounders! Great for baking and taking a handful and eating.

Peach and Blueberry Crisp

Thank you for this DELICIOUS recipe!

www.mynameissnickerdoodle.com

Serves 8

For Fruit:

4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced

1 cup fresh blueberries

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 1/2 TBSP cornstarch

For Topping:

6 TBSP butter, melted

1 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions

1.  Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2.  In a medium bowl mix together peaches, blueberries, sugar and cornstarch.

3.  Pour fruit into a 7x 10 or 8x8 baking dish.

4.  In the same bowl mix together flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon.

5.  Add in melted butter and mix with a fork.  Mixture will not be completely wet, but more sandy.

6.  Take a handful of topping and press together with your hand.  It should clump up.

7.  Sprinkle mixture over the fruit.  Leave some larger clumps so it stays crispier while baking.

8.  Bake for 30-35 minutes or until topping is lightly golden brown and fruit is bubbling.

9.  Cool for about 15 minutes before serving.  Serve with fresh whipped cream.

My mom and I used a regular oven and noticed it had to be in a little longer than the suggested time. But, as always, it is important to always keep an eye on your food so it doesn't overcook (I am still working on this minor factor when I cook!!)

Keep in mind the different settings if you are using a convection oven. You will just want to keep an extra eye on it and it may need to be less time or maybe longer.

  V o i l a

Enjoy, Glampers!

Another easy recipe to add to your RV Cookbook.
