Swig! You’ve Gotta Try It!
Have you ever had a Swig Cookie or one of their delicious (not your average soda) Soda’s? Chances are if you live or traveled through Utah or are close to Gilbert, Arizona you have!

Swig got its start in 2010 in St. George, Utah when Nicole Tanner and her husband decided to open a drive-by drink shop. Since that very first shop they have opened 16 more Swig drive-by’s (wish they would open one in Southern California).

Pageant of the Masters, Where Art Becomes Life
It’s that time of year again, the 86th celebration of the The Pageant of the Masters is once again being performed. Under a star-lit sky in the artist community of Laguna Beach, California. It is an awe inspiring 90 minutes of tableaux vivants (living pictures). It’s amazing watching the art come to life right before your eyes. I especially enjoyed this years theme “Under The Sun” as a majority of the show was centered around the art and artists of our own community of Laguna Beach. Every evening during the summer season, classic and contemporary works of art (paintings & sculptures) are recreated using volunteers. The volunteers pose to exactly…

Jenn’s Chicken Sandwich!
If you read my post last Tuesday then you know I am totally obsessed with the Jenn’s Chicken Sandwich I got at Wahlburgers. It was so delicious, the very next day I had it at the restaurant I decided to recreated it at home. And if I do say so myself, it came out pretty darn good! The hardest part of making Jenn’s chicken sandwich is the honey-garlic mayo. Do you want to know why it’s so hard? You have to wait 45 minutes for the garlic to roast in the oven!!! That’s it! The good news? Once it’s made you can use it on all sorts of things, besides…
