Over the last 11 years we've been full-time RVer's, an important consideration of RV travel revolves around food....always!

We also enjoy local-owned restaurants ... like those with lots of vehicles outside all the time. We regularly visit Trip Advisor about local restaurants because those recommendations are made by people ... like you or me.

Honey Hut Ice Cream Shoppe

When we go grocery shopping it is to buy food we love to eat and prepare for our table and we always expect it to be fresh, delicious, and most likely locally produced. Local farmers' markets and local butcher shops are a plus wherever we travel. We became satisfied customers of grocery stores like Wegman's, Shaw's, Martin's, Piggly Wiggly, Trader Joe's, Fresh Market, Healthy Market and many other independent stores on a regular basis.

Finger Lakes Popcorn from Guess Where!?
Popcorn grown in Lansing, NY |
Our Spring/Summer/Fall travels began in April, 2018, and around the beginning of June, in Shipshewana, IN, we began a 4 month journey of great RV travel with our friends, Clay and Frances Croom, Lynette Croom (Clay's 86 year young and beautiful mother and new RV full-timer), and their Puggle dog, Sadie, accompanied by delicious and exciting regular home cooked meals with our "dueling" Instant Pots, griddles and grills.

Marathon, NY |
Our meals usually were always with careful planning and completed with minimal effort, which made the end of every day a great time to sit outside, talk about what we had done that day, and make plans for the next exciting day.
