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).

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…

Recipe: Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos
Tacos! Yes, these sweet potato and black bean tacos are inspired by Border Grill and their segment on The Chef Show which premiered a while ago on Netflix. It’s no secret that Bryce and I love Mexican food. Especially some of that delicious chicken from Akumal last year. So, given the opportunity to make tacos, I’ll say yes every time. After being inspired by the simplicity of these tacos on The Chef Show I decided to share my version of the recipe. Okay, let’s get…
