Grill master here! Woot woot! Since Kyle was out of town last weekend I was left to my own devices for dinner, so when Pattycakes requested BBQ chicken I thought “sure! it’s high time I try to grill on my own!” And so grill I did. P kept me company in the baby pool while I did my thing. I used this rub again because if it aint broke, right? Chile lime chicken is where it’s at, yo! I sent Kyle and my dad pics because I was so proud. It was perfect! The middle… Read more >
Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies.

I assembled and marinated it all and Kyle grilled it. The fish was from Costco and after dividing up the remaining 3/4 that we bought, I vacuum pack sealed it and froze it. Such a good deal. The sumac is from a fancy shmancy spice store in LA and was a… Read more >
Since smoothies have been dominating my morning routine I have gone through a lot of different ingredients – from protein and green powders to frozen fruit and veggies. Here are my thoughts on what I’ve tried so far…maybe you will find something you are interested in trying out too? ****** Amazing Grass is one of my favorite companies and they have tons of products. I’ve never found one I don’t like. I prefer the chocolate amazing meal above all the others (as a main ingredient in a smoothie), but they make green superfood powders too that can… Read more >
