Spring RV Snack Ideas

Who else loves the Spring and Summer foods? I love all the fruits that are in season during these months. I also like the veggies, fresh salads, and anything and everything cooked on the grill!

Here are a few tasty food ideas to remember as you may be going on your first RV trip of the season.

Let's take a moment and thank Pinterest and these bloggers. I get all my ideas from them!

Veggie Loaded 7 Layer Dip

Little Broken

Excuse me, while I just got back from a trip to Guatemala. This looks like something we would have! Ahhh, I love the veggies and Mexican elements mixed in! Dip chips, throw on salads, or eat alone.

Smoothies

William Sonoma

I'm smoothie obsessed. I love throwing in fruits and different ingredients to make a healthier snack or meal option! Thanks Williams Sonoma.

Apple Spinach Salad

Gimme Some Oven

I've been making this salad non stop lately, but I use strawberries instead of apples to switch it up! So good and fresh tasting. This is a great lunch or even quick snack option...loaded with all the veggies! I also throw some fresh avocado on it too!

I'm ending it with this last camping sweet treat...

RITZ Peanut Butter S'mores

I Heart Nap Time

Seriously. Melt in your mouth. Try this one next time you're around the campfire!

Happy RV Season!

RV Cooking: Fresh Off the Grid

The neat thing about RVing is that you have the option to cook over the fire or in your RV. It's fun to get down and dirty and cook over that open fire. The fresh smell of wood burning and top it off with the smell of the delicious meal or dessert you are cooking.

I came across this wonderful resource called Fresh Off the Grid!

If you prefer more open fire cooking, this is your go to. I think it's fun to switch it up and step outside the luxuries of your RV and have an open fire experience. There are no rules when cooking, while RVing! 

These two have made it more convenient for you and I. I like that they made this resource in a way, where you could customize and use these recipes within the RV Lifestyle too. You could still make these items in your fabulous oven in your RV! Once again, there are no rules when RVing.

I've chosen homemade pizzas and a delicious s'more for you! Quick, easy, tasty, and the kids can get involved. How have I not tried a s'more with fresh berries in it? 

Fresh Off the Grid...you are genius.

Fixer Upper: RV Renos

It's time for another RV Reno Inspo for you all! If you know me, I love all things decor. I could spend days in Hobby Lobby or any home decor place. I also like spending other people's money, to decorate for them! Yes, let's be real, it's kind've an obsession.

 I tracked down some of my favorite RV Renos that caught my eye...mainly because these RV owners have similar taste and design style as I do. If you just love and are inspired by other forms of design, whether it is a graphic design piece, home decor, or even a spread in a fashion magazine...these RV Renos are inspiring and just as fun to see and gather some inspiration!

I found a few that didn't have original blogs or owners attached to the photo. So, I can't provide information on who, what, where, on some of these images.

1. Minimal Mindset

I named this RV Minimal Mindset, because it has an all white, neutral, and delicate appeal. I love the neutral colors, accented with the contrast of darker elements. 

The owners of this RV are named Blaise and Cassandra! Love their style.

 2. Cozy Chic

This just screams all sorts of cozy! I could take a nice nap on that couch and read a book. That table looks inviting to have a nice breakfast in the morning. I love the crisp white, with the colorful and complimentary colored accents. It really provides a warm and inviting feel!

I couldn't find the original owner of this photo or RV :( Help!

3. Airstream Luxe

I believe this one was an airstream that was renovated. Once again, I couldn't find the owners of this RV or photo. I love the chic, yet minimal feel to this scene. I could see this being a fabulous place to do a photoshoot, have a girl's night, or enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning.

Well, until next time! If you come across any fabulous RV Renos, send them to me! I always enjoy coming across other RVers being able to do a Fixer Upper RV Reno.

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: 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.
