One of my favorite things to do is surprise my husband with breakfast in the summer. This morning I woke up at 5am, i have no idea why, but I had an idea for breakfast that I knew Brandon would love. I got up and

Today was my first day of Summer vacation! I had an alarm free wake up and it was great,  I got about 8 hours of great sleep. I had a little shopping trip with friends and then hit up Trader Joe’s for some meal ingredients for our trip to OBX next week.  I found some great items at Trader Joe’s. Check out: Applegate deli meats and Trader Joe’s Turkey Keilbasa. I also realized that Continue reading Summer Solstice Spicy Wraps

Brandon and I have picked on my mom for years about her love of Collard Greens. I always thought it sounded so gross and we refused to try my mom’s from Jimmy’s Bar and Grill in Bridgeville. We used to meet there for breakfast when Brandon and I went to Salisbury University. Who knew this classic soul food actually tasted good. Brandon liked them more than I did but we both enjoyed them and would make them again.
Tonight’s dinner was herb grilled chicken, sautéed carrots and sautéed collard greens.

Pulled Roast Omelet

         Last night we went to a friends house for dinner. He is a chef and makes us the most amazing dishes all the time. We rarely turn down invites to their house. He has been making some BBQ sauces and last night we tried a pineapple Jalapeno, a Black Cherry and a Coffee. Our favorite was the coffee Sauce that he tentatively names “Black Tar”. Being an awesome guy, he gave Brandon and I a bottle of it because we loved it so much. So last night I threw a roast in the crock pot and this is one of the recipe’s I made with it. 


        Erinn’s BBQ sauce is not for sale yet so you will have to use any BBQ sauce or follow the directions and just add your favorite BBQ sauce instead. Check out his blog for future Sauce and spice sales and great recipes. 

Black Tar BBQ sauce drizzled on top gave this roast a juicy spicy flavor but not overpowering.
