This is a great spring/summer dish, the lemon and ginger makes the dish light but still very tasty.  And if you've never tried brown rice pasta, the brand we're using is so good, I'd definitely try it.  I picked up at Trader Joe's and it comes in a green bag.  I've tried Quinoa pasta and whole wheat pasta, this brown rice pasta is probably my favorite.  What's great about this dish is that it can be altered to your taste so we have a list of the ingredients and how much we used but if you like a more lemony taste, add more lemon, put as much or as little garlic as you want.  This dish can also be eaten warm or cold so it's up to you, talk about options lol...this dish takes the prize lol.  Let us know what you think & tag us in your pics if you make the dish!  Happy Cooking!

Roscoes Chicken & Waffles Lives Up To It's Name

When I went to LA, I checked out the famous Roscoes Chicken & Waffles, OMG! AH MAZE ING!!!!  It was so good, I make really good chicken and waffles but this restaurant definitely lived up to it's name. Their chicken was seasoned perfectly and the waffle was perfect crispy on the outer parts & soft on the inside!  They also had these amazing drinks called, The Sunrise & The Sunset, the hubby and I ordered 1 & 1. The names were fitting too because that's exactly what it looked like in the glass.  The Sunrise was 1/2 lemonade & 1/2 orange juice, so good & The Sunset was 1/2 lemonade & 1/2 fruit punch.  If/when you stop by this world known spot, be sure to try one!  Roscoes gets the stamp of approval!

Say No To A Pity Party

Good Morning!  One of the things that motivates me when I notice I'm having a pity party because they do happen from time to time (thankfully as I get wiser lol...they've become less and less) is the fact that I know that:

1. Romans 8:28 says, And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose

2. What I'm going through can be useful for someone else

3. This too shall pass.

So, if today happens to be your pity party day, it's totally ok, it happens, we all go through it so don't beat yourself up about it. After you've cried it out, focus on getting yourself together so you can be a blessing to someone else who may be going through the same exact thing you're going through.  I find that when I'm going through something, blessing someone else helps me get through it.  I pray you're encouraged!

Thank You LinkedIn!

Yesterday was AWESOME!  Such a great experience at LinkedIn, everyone there is SUPER nice, there wasn't a person that I passed by that didn't have a smile on their face.  They were all so nice lol...I was taken back by that and found it refreshing, what a great work environment!  It looks like such a fun place to work, I'd definitely want to work there lol.  

Anywho, the topic yesterday was "Confidence" my friend Sharra came from an angle of asking thought provoking questions, explained what confidence was & gave you tips on having confidence.  Then my awesome husband shared his story on having dyslexia, having to read a teleprompter and tapping into the confidence of God.  Then I shared my story of confidence which birthed the Fearless T-Shirt Campaign.  I'm so excited about this t-shirt, I'll be selling a Fearless t-shirt on my site where a portion of the proceeds will go to empowering women in the Philippines as well as give the women who purchase the shirt a platform on my website to share their Fearless moment in hopes that it will encourage and inspire women all around the world to "Be Fearless" and carry out the vision they have for their lives.  Super grateful to LinkedIn for having us & again allowing us to Share Our Story.  I can't wait for you to Share Your Story!  Be Bold, Be Confident, Be Fearless!

Last Nights Championship game was real! Our PeeWees played their hearts out & earned Englewood's respect! For the past 2 years Jo's played, they've been our rival & with the score of 12-26, the parents of Englewood told us we gave them a run. #ProudMom #Love #Football #PeeWees #GetEmNextYear #PlayedWithHeart #WinnersCircle
