Comfort Food Recipe - Homemade Mac & Cheese

Ingredients

- 1(16 ounce) package elbow macaroni

- 1/4 cup butter

- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 tsp. dried thyme

- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

- 1/8 tsp. white pepper

- 3 cups milk

- 1 pinch nutmeg

- 1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

- 1 tsp. salt

- 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

- 1 tsp. dijon mustard

- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

- 1 tbsp. butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
3. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the butter starts to foam and bubble, stir in the flour; cook on medium heat until flour just begins to turn pale yellow, 3 to 4 minutes. Add thyme, cayenne pepper, and white pepper; cook and stir another minute, then whisk in 1 cup of milk until smooth. Pour in remaining milk and whisk again. Bring the sauce just to a simmer.
4. Stir in nutmeg, Worcestershire sauce, and salt; simmer on medium-low heat until thickened, about 8 minutes, whisking often. Turn heat off, then add 2 1/4 cups of Cheddar cheese; stir until melted and combined. Add Dijon mustard.
5. Transfer the macaroni into a casserole dish, then pour in the cheese sauce; stir to thoroughly combine sauce with pasta. Mix panko bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl, and sprinkle crumbs on top of macaroni and cheese. Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup of Cheddar cheese on top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs and Cheddar cheese topping are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

• Tip
• Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.

Overnight Oatmeal - Cinnamon Apple

Overnight Oatmeal - Cinnamon Apple

Ingredients

• 1 cup steel cut oats
• 1½ cups coconut milk
• 1½ cups water
• 2 apples (cored, peeled, diced)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Optional for Topping

• Additional cinnamon or brown sugar
• Chopped nuts such as almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc.
• Fruit such as banana slices, fresh apple, or berries

Instructions

1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with oil thoroughly. This step is very important!
2. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker – oats, coconut milk, water, apples, brown sugar, coconut oil, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir to combine well.
3. Cook on low for 5-7 hours depending on your cooker. Some take longer and some are faster. We recommend trying a test run during the day to see how long your slow cooker takes before trying overnight.
4. Serve and allow to cool. If desired, add toppings of your choice.

Notes
Serves 6-8
Be sure to use STEEL CUT OATS. These are heartier and take longer to cook so they are better for slow cooking.
Experiment with different flavors and fruits.

Rick's RV Corner

How do you protect your RV over winter?

Monsoon season has started early this year so how do you protect your rv over winter.

1. Cover your unit with a breathable cover not a plastic tarp, the tarp traps moisture in the unit.
2. Use a chemical or mechanical moisture remover an electric heater will work as well make sure it has a thermostat. 
3. Leave your cabinet doors and your refrigerator open to prevent mildew. 
4. Blow out your water lines with compressed air or use RV antifreeze through your water system.

If your not sure how to do the anti-freeze use your owners manual or check out our web site in the video section on how to winterize your uint,or better still come on down and ours parts staff will help with you winterizing needs and even buy you a cup of coffee.

Happy Trails!

Some helpful hints when looking forRV Appliance Replacement Parts

RV consumers are sometimes disappointed when shopping for RV appliance replacement parts. Consumers think the RV parts staff should know what appliances are in their RV by the make of their unit. RV's are not like automobiles, every OEM will uses different appliances so unless the RV dealer you visit sells that brand there is no way to tell which appliance is in their unit. When looking for replacement parts for you’re appliances, if you have the manufacturers name and model number for that specific appliance finding replacing parts is a very simple task.

Happy Trails!

Autumn Kids Craft

It's that time of year again where the leaves are changing colors and starting to fall off the trees.  Time to make the piles so the children can jump and run through them!  Here is a fun little craft to do with the children in your life, have fun with it and put it on display!

Autumn Collage

Children and adults alike will enjoy finding those perfect leaves in all the pretty colors.

Instructions:

Press your leaves for a couple of days by placing them between sheets of newspaper under some heavy books.

Get some construction paper, glue, glitter and anything else you want to do to be creative.  Arrange your leaves on the paper and glue into place. Decorate your page with glitter, crayons, pencil crayons or stickers (just to suggest a few things).  Display your work of art!

Rick's RV Corner - 1st Edition

RV Covers

The RV winter season is just around the corner!  One of the best pieces of advice I can give to an RV Owner is to protect your investment with an RV Cover.  

RV Covers are all different sizes and makes.  Select the cover which is most suitable to the winter climate where the RV is stored.  We have found that the biggest problem an RV Owner has is sizing their RV Cover.  We recommend measuring the RV first, the size on the side of your RV is not the correct size for the cover.  You will need to measure the size of the area that you want covered. Measure first, then purchase, we can have your correctly sized cover in our Parts department within one business day!

Happy Trails!
