Pumpkin Muffins

Just 3 Ingredients, plus water, makes this not only an easy fall treat to make, but easy on storage in your RV. Starting with a cake mix is like the best cheat possible. No flour, sugar, baking powder or other ingredients to measure or store in your RV pantry.

 

Ingredients:

• Spice Cake Mix (or flavor of your choice)
• 1 can of pumpkin
• 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup water

Directions:

1. Mix ingredients in a bowl.

3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15- 18 minutes and let the autumn smells begin.

Enjoy these plain or add your favorite streusel topping, cream cheese frosting, cinnamon-sugar topping, etc.

Hasselback Butternut Squash

It looks fancy, tastes amazing and very simple to do. This is a great side dish and will go well with anything you throw on the outside grill of your RV.  You can make it to suite your likings; sweet, savory toppings or stick with this recipe with a savory herb. Great as a leftover, even with your sausage, eggs and potatoes the next morning.

Hasselback is a technique where thin cuts are made horizontally across the length of the squash. It’s looks amazing and is a great way to insert more flavor into the dish. These pockets are the perfect for all kinds of seasonings. Melted butter along with sage and a little red pepper flakes are all we really need to pull off amazing flavor.

Impress your neighbors at the RV park, or better yet, have your new friends over for dinner!

Ingredients:

• 1 butternut squash, halved lengthwise, peeled, and seeded
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
