Recipe: BBQ Drumsticks
It’s summer! Okay, maybe not officially, but the BBQ has been fired up and we’ve it 20+ some days already. That means it’s summer, right? These BBQ drumsticks are delicious – plus, the homemade Carolina Gold BBQ sauce is just the right balance of sweet and spicy. Let’s get cooking! Ingredients: 12-15 drumsticks Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce That’s all you need – well, you could use store bought BBQ sauce, yet it’s not as good. Sometimes time or convenience wins, though – and that’s okay!…

Recipe: Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce
Carolina Gold BBQ sauce – it’s mustard based and a tad bit spicy. Let’s get started and fire up the BBQ! Okay, I love mustard. Hot mustard is the only way to enjoy fries, and mustard on a chicken burger is just the right amount of zip. So, I wanted to try a BBQ sauce that was less sweet and more punchy – and here it is, this quick and easy gold sauce. Ingredients 1 cup of yellow mustard 1 tablespoon of agave 2 teaspoons…

Recipe: Mexican Fried Ice Cream
Mexican fried ice cream – and, it’s gluten free! Total score. When I was a kiddo we used to travel to Petoskey, Michigan and they had a Mexican restaurant called La Señorita – fried ice cream was my favourite dessert. I’m pretty sure the restaurant is now closed, yet there might be one in Traverse City. Either way, let’s get to this quick and easy recipe! Ingredients 2 cups of vanilla bean ice cream 1 cup of gluten free honey chex 1/2 tablespoon of quality…

Project: Fireplace Reno
Fireplace reno! Back in 2015 we swapped out our never used wood burning fireplace for a gas one (that’s when we got a gas stove, too). What we didn’t do, however, was fully decide on how to finish the fireplace. That decision took over 4 years, yet here we are – fireplace reno time! Back when we were trying to decide we went back and forth so many times – stone to the mantel? Stone all the way up the wall? Dark stone, light stone?…

Project: Big Ass Fan
First, know that this fan is actually a brand of Big Ass Fans. No, I’m not cussing – it’s the real name, and I believe their logo is a donkey, aka, an ass. Okay, you can see the before and how little the fan is – I think it’s a standard ceiling fan, so about 4 or so feet. The new one is an i6 and it’s 84 inches, so 7 feet. So much bigger! We had to get scaffolding to install it – 15…
