What a super seven months in the USA. I got my fill (Lutz’s as well) of family, grandchildren, friends, and camping. Just when I thought I had enough, the minute I landed on this side of the pond I missed them all and our beautiful campsites. So many memories and good times. I took tons of pictures and so this post is a visual tour of some very special moments and events during our USA 2017-2018 trip in the USA. Please scroll through, and at the end are some very delicious recipes I discovered while creating something new each day! Enjoy the “verb” al- tour…

Plus we made sure we practiced “Creating something new each day…and tried cooking!” I’ve added several new recipes to my site. Here are a few new creations I’ve posted. Please try them out and leave me a note. I’d love to hear from you.
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
What a beautiful life. Loving family, friends, places and food. We are truly Blessed to have you and Lutz in our lives. Steve, Melissa and Cookie
