Lets get Social!

We all know that social media is driving this world right now. It’s just so trendy! The Man has yet to conform, and looks at me like I am some weirdo. But I can’t help it. It’s so addicting and I love being able to know what everyone is doing. It’s like being a legal peeping-tom! hehe When it comes to I Wash…You Dry, things are no different. Sharing is caring! One of my favorite forms of social media is {Read More}

Cookbook Giveaway Winners!

I have been in bed this whole week. I got my tonsils removed on Tuesday morning and anyone who says, “that’s nothing compared to childbirth.” I have news for you…it’s worse. Much worse.

And that’s the way it should be… Thanks for entering my giveaway, here are the two lucky winners thanks {Read More}

Banana Nutella Crunch Bread

0032

I get asked all the time, “How do you maintain your girl-ish figure with all those sinful goodies you bake?” “Well,” I respond. “I make sure to add something healthy into the mix every once and awhile. For instance… the banana in this Banana Nutella Crunch Bread totally counter-acts all the chocolate and Nutella.” {Then I secretly put on my Spanx and eat a handful of pretzel M&M’s} In an attempt to eat healthier and lose all those post-baby lbs, I bought myself {Read More}

Mexican Adventures

Last week I enjoyed the best thing anyone can ask for… A week long cruise to Mexico! I was in heaven with all the warm sun, sand, water, and well…FOOD! I thought I would share a few pictures from my awesome adventure. We stopped in 3 different port towns in Mexico. At each port I simply had to try their guacamole and chips. {It’s the best way to judge a town} Here is what we sampled in Puerto Villarta. Simple and delicious. {Read More}

A Must Have:

pages

This afternoon when I went to get my groceries for the next two days {yes, I can only shop for two days at time}, I wasn’t ready to see all the Christmas stuff replacing the Halloween. {I don’t think I’m ready for that yet}. But then I came across this little beauty at the register. I flipped through a few pages and almost started drooling! I have got quite a few pages bookmarked already. I’ll share the goods with ya, but I recommend {Read More}

A Series of Unfortunate Events…

I had high hopes for dinner tonight. Sadly, it did not go as well as I would have hoped for. I had all the ingredients out to make one amazing chicken carbonara. I was all ready to start making dinner when I tried to light the little gas stove in my little kitchen. Nothing. Not a single thing happened. Being that we live in a travel trailer {living on the road with The Man has it’s benefits} we are supplied our {Read More}

Smoked Garden Turkey Burgers

Just the way The Man likes it; smoked. Mesquite smoked. If he had his way, everything would be smoked. I love making burgers because I just start throwing everything into a bowl, mash it up, and see how it turns out. Sometimes it’s good. Sometimes, it’s not so good. This time, it was great. {the smoking may have had a lot to do with it} Here’s what you’ll need: 1 pound Ground Turkey2 cloves Garlic; pressed3 green onions; chopped5 sun {Read More}
