Forks in the Road: Recipes From Across America

Forks in the Road: Recipes from Across America is where I share the regional recipes that have inspired me as we travel the country in our RV. These dishes come from small towns, local diners, family-run joints, and beloved state specialties—each one with a story to tell. Whether it's a gooey butter cake from Missouri, shrimp nachos from Texas, or a hidden gem we stumbled across on the road, I recreate them in a way that works for RV kitchens and small households, with full-size and scaled-down versions for two. It's my way of capturing the flavors of the road and bringing a little piece of America to your table.

Hi! I'm Holly

Welcome to Entertaining the RV Life

I blend travel and tradition by recreating recipes from the places we visit and sharing family favorites that I have refined over years of cooking—first for a full house, and now as empty nesters learning to cook for two in our RV kitchen.
