Lessons & Traditions: Road Trip Style
For the first two weeks of our trip, we didn’t have any refrigeration in our Airstream trailer. We relied on coolers to keep our perishables chilled. While using the coolers wasn’t so bad, it did make meal planning more of a chore than ever.
Teaching moment: Driving through the plains of Oklahoma without that crucial “modern conveniences” had me thinking about the first settlers in that area. Those brave men and women roughed it without so much as ice. I wondered what they

Finding The Good
We’ve just started our cross-country trek, but we’re already experiencing — and learning — so much.

Encouraging Kids to Get Into The Kitchen
We really want to encourage kids to get into the kitchen, get creative, learn about food, flavor, fuel, nutrition and have fun while doing all that.

What is Your Passion?
For us passion is what compels us to look within ourselves and reach out to others. But what is our passion?

To not abuse, deny or weaken our vessels and to look forward to our future. What is your passion? How will you foster it? Grow it? Come share with us!
