Campground Steak-Out

Janet Groene's Flank Steak Feast
16-ounce flank steak
16-ounce package whole mushrooms
½ cup bottled Italian dressing
1 loaf French bread
Butter or spread
½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
4-ounce package blue cheese

Throw the steak and mushrooms in a plastic, zip-top bag with the dressing and marinate in the ice chest or refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.

1. Drain steak and mushrooms, discard marinade, and grill steak. Grill mushrooms in a grill basket or thread them on skewers to grill until golden brown.
2. Slice and butter the bread and toast it in a nonstick skillet until it’s golden on one side.
3. Mix sour cream, mayo and cheeses. Using two spoons, mound a dollop of cheese spread atop untoasted side of bread. (Save leftover spread to serve on crackers another time.)
4. Slice the steak and arrange on plates with the bread, mushrooms and sliced tomatoes.

RV Cooking Show Tours Annapolis and Pleases with Maryland Steamed Shrimp

Hi there campers,

Replete with big time history, fantastic food, shopping galore and their trademark City Dock, Annapolis has a lot to offer. What better way to spend a few days than wandering around this small city/big town soaking in the culture, enjoying the clink-clink-clink of sailboat masts and the sparkling blue Chesapeake Bay. This episode of the RV Cooking Show takes you on a fun tour of Annapolis, courtesy of our special RV Cooking Show guest – Annapolitian Mary Jane Eckert. And for all of you dog lovers out there don’t miss Mary’s tip on Annapolis’ premier dog park and beach!

Once we mosey back to the Tango travel trailer Mary Jane will show us how to make one of Maryland’s native dishes – Maryland Steamed Shrimp. Like me, you might be surprised at how fast, easy and ultimately delicious these shrimp are. Mary Jane talks about serving them to party guests but they are satisfying enough to have as a meal along with some corn on the cob and a green salad.

Watch the RV Cooking Show video here...



A fun day downtown followed by a quick shrimp dish…RV trips don’t get much better than this! Enjoy and let me know what you think about this show and recipe by leaving me a comment below.

Happy travels and until next time,

Janet Groene's Cran-Razz Cheesecake
This quickie dessert is a nice twist on everyone’s favorite cheesecake. Lemonade mix in individual serving packets is made by Crystal Light and is also sold in a house brand at WalMart.
1 readymade graham cracker crust
3-ounce package cream cheese
1 package instant vanilla pudding
1 ½ cups milk
1 sleeve lemonade mix (one-serving size)
Small can cranberry sauce
1/3 cup raspberry jam
Let the cream cheese come to “room” temperature and gradually whisk in the milk. It’s OK if little chunks of cheese remain. When it’s fairly smooth whisk in the lemonade mix and pudding and pour into the crust. Let it set up in a cool place. Using a fork, mash together the cranberry sauce and jam. When the filling is firm, spoon the cranberry mixture over it. Serve at once or chill in the ice chest or refrigerator.

Janet Groene's Tenderfoot Stew for Two
Even if you’re new to camping, boating or RV-ing you can snap together this tasty, one-dish stew. Instead of zucchini, you might throw in ½ cup of frozen peas at the end, just long enough to heat through.

3 or 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about ½ pound)
1 tablespoons vegetable oil
Medium onion, peeled and quartered
2 small potatoes, scrubbed and cut in half
2 large carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
1 teaspoon celery salt
Small zucchini, diced
1 packet turkey gravy mix

1. Cut chicken into bite size.
2. In a roomy saucepan, brown chicken in oil. Gradually stir in vegetables to coat with brown bits.
3. Add an inch of water to the pan, cover and simmer over low heat 30 minutes.
4. Add just enough cold water to gravy mix to make a thick paste. Increase flame and stir gravy mix into stew until it thickens. Spoon into two shallow soup plates.
