WINNERS!!!! Glamping Book Giveaway #4 – glam up a trailer

I love the idea of an awning, over a lovely deck this would be parked next to, or a cleared spot with THE most comfortable chair for sitting back and watching the sun set. (Or come up, depending on your mood!) I would love to see some color, so flowers would be essential. A walkway or path leading to this haven, planted with flowers that create a scent just for you. A smell that takes you back or calms you down or perks you up! The doors and windows open to the fresh air and maybe something simple brewing inside; your favorite coffee percolating on a camp stove ready to pour into the girliest cup you could find. Take it outside to that cushy chair and aaaahhhh, that’s better. I think there has to be colorful pillows and a fluffy throw for cooler days. Maybe some throw rugs and the grass cut short just around the camper for walking barefoot and squishing your toes in. Ohhhhh, I could go on…;)

I love a garden theme, so I would paint a floral motif on part of it, then add some flower boxes – set up a table/chairs. I would then bring out the picnic basket and have a lovely meal, while enjoying the scenery! Jamie V in MT

Today’s Recipe: Homemade Marshmallows

Today’s recipe, MaryJane’s Homemade Marshmallows, is another sneak-peek recipe from my book, Glamping with MaryJane. (Actually, in my book, my basic recipe below ends up with a host of yummy, unlikely ingredients added, but I’ll save those surprises for you until you have my book in your hands!)

Remember last month’s recipe?

Sweet & Smoky Salmon Zucchini Rolls

Oh goodness. The name alone starts a mind-blowing seismic-flavor-tastebud-overload.

But today is all about celebrating the tasty white, round, and fluffy balls of sugar-sweetness dubbed Marshmallow … because it’s National S’more Day!

And let’s not forget their partner, the homemade graham cracker, which will be part two of this recipe series, right here tomorrow. Don’t forget to check back.

Happy s’more day to you and yours. And s’more to you, and you, and you …

When the road beckons, where do you go? Do you get your glamp on near a favorite swimming hole? Dig in among the desert dunes? Bed down on the beach? Head out to your backyard?

Today’s Recipe: Sweet & Smoky Salmon Zucchini Rolls

Today’s recipe, Sweet & Smoky Salmon Zucchini Rolls, is a doozy. It’s a sneak-peek recipe from my book, Glamping with MaryJane, available now for pre-order on Amazon. Hunky hubby went fishing over the weekend and brought home a boat-load of that oh-so-delicious land-locked Kokanee Salmon. If you’re able to use fresh-smoked salmon for this recipe, do! But first, instructions for smoking your prized catch. (Hopefully, you’ve either caught the fishing bug yourself or caught a partner who has.)

This recipe for smoking fish is perfect for your summer glamping adventures. However, when you’re out and about, you most likely won’t have the convenience of an electric smoker like I used here. In the last issue of my magazine, “Best of Show” Aug/Sep 2012 issue, I also suggested purchasing a William Sonoma Stainless Steel Grill Top Smoker Box for your on-the-go food smoking needs. It sits right atop your grill! So load the kids, pack up the glamper. (Don’t forget your pink necktie and cowgirl boots!)
