Ok, so obviously I love strawberries. That’s a given! Since strawberries are in season right now, a.k.a super cheap, I always love buying a ton of them. The only problem is, I always end up buying a ton and not using them all. When I read the post below from Naturally Ella, she provided many different solutions for how to keep your strawberries all season long! These solutions should also apply to other fruits too if you’re not a strawberry fanatic like I am!

You can give it to me fried, grilled, blackened, etc. and I’ll eat it. #sogood! If you love shrimp too, definitely check out the recipe below!

Chandler and I love seasonings. Seasonings really make or break food in my opinion. There are two different spice shops in Jacksonville and back home in Mt. Dora that we just love. One of our favorite meals is a nice steak. We have a few different rubs that we use (LongHorn’s steak seasoning is on point ya’ll), but this one below looks really good too. We’re always down to try a new seasoning!

Life/Entertainment:
Tomorrow is National Rose’ Day. ’nuff said! *clink*
Who listens to the Elvis Duran morning show on the radio everyday? I absolutely love every person on the show and find the show to be so entertaining. The other day they were talking about awesome Instagram accounts and they mentioned one called DILFS Of Disneyland. Trust me, it’s magical. ✨?
