  • The 4th of July is one week away and our family is stoked because we are doing our annual waffle breakfast for the neighborhood. We make hundreds of waffles and smoke tons of bacon on the Traeger. It’s one of our favorite holidays! What do you do for the 4th?
  • Well deserved!
  • Our garden is growing slow this year because the weather in Utah has been crazy. It hasn’t been warm enough for the plants to take off. Hopefully soon!
  • 77 years YOUNG.
  • The boys are Pelicans fans now because of Zion. They both want jerseys. I am excited to see how all of the NBA teams play out.

  1. I make water kefir and love it. It is so refreshing over ice over ice during hot summer afternoons.

  2. Happy 4th Maria to you and your family. I’d like to know how you make kefir. Those brownies look delicious I think I will have to make them for the 4th.

    1. The tarts are from the farmers market. Just a pretty photo:) I wish I had the recipe!

  3. I love that you smoke your bacon on the Traeger! We just got a Traeger and have started smoking everything including bacon and it is sooo good!

    1. We LOVE the Traeger!! Everything tastes better on the Traeger:) Glad you are loving yours!

  4. hey y’all- great list! Those brownies look amazing- yummy for my tummy! Our church is having a picnic at a local lake this coming Sunday! I’m bringing m&m cookies!

    1. I haven’t posted how I make it before. I am just getting into it and when I shared the smoothie recipe, I used almond milk, but now I am using kefir and it’s just as good. You can use whatever milk you like for the smoothie or kefir. If there is interest maybe I will post about kefir someday:)

  5. I make my own kefir too. I use it as you do in smoothies. We also use it in recipes that call for milk or buttermilk. Scrambled eggs and omelettes are extra fluffy when you make them with kefir too!
