As someone who juggles a lot (like, a lot! —if I were an animal, I’d probably be an octopus cuz I usually have 8 different things going on at any given time), I require a good amount of energy. With multiple businesses on the go, motherhood, a full pack of furry friends needing our attention, and my own crazy projects on the go – a little energy boost is much needed (and appreciated). Can you relate? While I cherish my morning cup of coffee, the convenience of 1 Shot Energy caught my attention. While we have been spending lots of time out on the ranch, easy access to a coffee shop is ..read more

Hey guys! Drey here. ? I’m Jaden’s Writer & Creative Content go-to. You might remember me from my Platterful charcuterie board review or that time I haunted Steamy Kitchen for Halloween. You might not know this, but I’ll let you in on a little secret: our little team is mostly remote, and many of us are located in other states or even countries! Our beloved CFO / Manager / the person who runs it all (she wears a lot of hats), Amanda, is somewhat of a digital nomad, actually. During my time here, I’ve had digital meetings with her while she’s been in Canada, Nicaragua, Mexico… you name it ..read more

Spring is here again, and that means warmer weather and new recipes for the year. I love this time of year because we get to shrug off the winter blues and take advantage of new seasonal produce and fresh herbs. Perhaps the best part of the new season (at least, in my opinion) are healthy spring dinners–ones that are filled with simple ingredients and accompanied by a crisp spring salad.  I don’t know about you, but spring to me is all about renewal, a chance to make better food decisions (and decisions in general), and a time to recharge our batteries for the year ahead. And the way we n ..read more

Does your kitchen looks like a culinary battlefield? Your grout has seen better days, the stains on your cabinets tell the tale of so many prepared meals, and it’s been so long since you cleaned your microwave, you’re afraid to even look inside of it. (You just throw your food in, press a button, and walk away, don’t you? It’s okay. We’ve all been there.)

Ever tried blinis? I love that word actually. It makes me want to pronounce it “buh-li-ni”. Kinda like if bologna had an “i” in the middle. But then you look at it, and it’s as simple as can be: blini. Like it’s an app or a digital assistant. (“Blini, tell me what the weather is going to be like tomorrow.”) If you’re not sure what a blini is, it’s basically a tiny Eastern European pancake. Top it with a few garnishes (or just butter) and you’ve got yourself a traditional Russian dish. (If the name doesn’t make even MORE sense to you at this point, just imagine someone saying “blini” in a Russi ..read more

Spring is here! What kind of vibes do you get around this time of year? What does spring look like in your mind? Egg hunts? Bees everywhere? Seasonal allergies? (Yeah, me too.) Spring is a time of renewal, and for me, it comes with a random urge to revamp and refresh, and that starts with making room for new things in my life. Obviously, in the simplest way, this can mean spring cleaning (or as I like to call it, spring purging), but it’s also about what you’re letting go within you. Old ways. Limiting beliefs. Toxic relationships. Bad habits. Negative self-talk. The list can go on and on. It ..read more
