Effortless Ribeye Steaks – with a crust

Grilling The Best Ribeye Steaks 2 Horizontal

I’m back again with another grill recipe that’s hard to mess up and makes a mighty fine piece of meat. I cooked 16 ribeyes with the goal of getting a perfect steak without much effort. Can someone else make a better Ribeye? I’m sure they can, but can they do so with less effort? That’s going to be

I really don’t enjoy the normal car buying process. Every time I walk into a dealership, no matter how nice people are, you can see them sizing you up and trying to make a sale. Even the questions they ask, “What car are you driving? How old is it?” would be …

Why I’ll never go back from Sous Vide Cooking

By

I have a love/hate relationship with cooking. I enjoy the end product, but I don’t like setting aside the time to create it. My eating habits fall somewhere in the instant gratification theme of our time where I want to create great food with the least time and effort possible. That’s why I love the Joule sous vide. It’s

Mow Your Lawn without leaving your couch

By

The Honda Miimo Robotic Lawn Mower came out in 2017, and I’ve been dying to get my hands on one ever since. It’s like the robotic vacuums you’ve likely seen that drive themselves around the house and return to their charger when they’re done – except instead of vacuuming your floors, it mows your lawn!…

Stopped by @hermanmiller for an early Christmas pr Stopped by @hermanmiller for an early Christmas present. My office chair is probably the only thing I spend more time on than my mattress, so I thought it was time for an upgrade. Emma helped out making sure I picked the fabric color that smelled the best 😆 Swipe to see the color I ended up picking and check out my Stories for more info and a link.

This time I cooked 16 ribeyes on our Weber grill from @homedepot and came up with a super easy and consistent recipe to cook them perfectly and get a good crust. I detailed it all out in a blog post where there’s a simple version if you just want the recipe, or a more detailed one where I talk about why this worked so well. Check out my Stories for the link!

I’ve been drinking butter coffee for A LONG TIME I’ve been drinking butter coffee for A LONG TIME, but I recently changed up my recipe. I used to make coffee in a French press every morning, but I changed it up to speed up the process. My latest recipe is: 1 Cosi @Nespresso pod Small amount of frothed whole grass-fed Milk Little Stevia 1/4 Tsp Guittard cocoa powder 1 Tbsp MCT Oil 1.5 Tbsp Grass-Fed Butter Blend it It’s not too sweet, but changes things up a bit from my normal butter coffee. Plus the single @nespresso pod has half the caffeine I’m used to (I’m trying to cut back, so this is a good way to get the butter and MCT oil without as much caffeine). If I need more caffeine, I just make another one ☕️ I’ve always been a fan of Mocha’s and ever since

I've been loving my #ProjectAthena- based #GalaxyB I've been loving my #ProjectAthena- based #GalaxyBookFlex laptop so much that when we had to get one for my son for distance learning, I knew exactly what to get him. We’ve been working a lot on handwriting and math lessons, so the S-Pen has been amazing to help him practice. We tried using another computer we had lying around, but it just couldn’t keep up with all the video calls and interactive learning games. We’re hoping to do some road trips this year, so the battery life and super bright screen will be perfect! #ad #MoreThan @intel

Noah’s loving his online classes, because he can eat during them 😆. He LIGHTS UP when his teacher even mentions his name 😄 I hope everyone else with kids in school is handling it ok. From the parent side, it’s been pretty stressful just trying to make sure he’s in his love school sessions 4 - 5 times everyday. Just trying to be thankful this is even an option. This virus is awful, but it helps put everything in perspective.
