My Top 5 Mornings: I love this trend! I used to b My Top 5 Mornings: I love this trend! I used to be a *real* morning person! Now, my body enjoys a little casual morning sleep, and slow going. My ideal morning (that is actually my daily routine!) is this: ☀️ Wake up. 🧖‍♀️ Skincare + Light Therapy (while I listen to a meditation on @chani.app ) 👗 Get dressed 🫖 Teatime (except lately, it’s been smoothie time) What is your ideal morning?? . . . #topfivemornings #trendingaudio #amazonfinds
While I can’t in good conscience 100% recommend While I can’t in good conscience 100% recommend Prime Day Sales… It’s just not in my nature to tell you to mass buy stuff… I can 1000% recommend evvery product on this list, because I use them!

Crispy Rolled Tacos! They’re a must-make for you Crispy Rolled Tacos! They’re a must-make for your taco tower! Listen y’all, these are the game-changing taco tuesday night addition you’ll want to serve your hungry people. SAY ROLL and I’ll share the recipe with you! I made these for my Taco Tower Party, and they do not disappoint. While I used shredded beef inside my crispy rolled tacos, you could use whatever filling you love the most. If you’ve got leftover grilled chicken, pork, etc, this is a great way to make a new meal! Just add some cheese and filling, roll it up, and fry. Yes, you could use the air fryer or your oven… You do you, baby! INGREDIENTS: * 1 lb. Meat Mixture (see note!) * 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese * Flour or Corn Tortillas, usually one package will do! (I like the fajita-sized tortilla!) * Vegetable Oil for frying INSTRUCTIONS: 1. On a clean work surface, lay out one tortilla. 2. Add 1-2 tablespoons of cheese in the center of the tortilla. 3. Top with 1-2 tablespoons of the meat mixture. 4. Roll the tortilla up over it, pulling back slightly to keep everything contained well. 5. If you feel like you need to secure with a toothpick, go for it! 6. Get all your rolled tacos ready for the fryer before you start frying. 7. Preheat your vegetable oil (about an inch up your skillet) to 350 degrees. 8. Gently place the rolled tacos into the oil and fry on all sides until golden brown. 9. Pro Tip: Once you’ve added 4-5 to your skillet, go back to the first one and start rolling around to keep them moving. Work your way “down the line” over and over. 10. Remove the crispy rolled tacos from the oil and drain on a paper towel or wire rack. 11. Serve with shredded lettuce, salsa, sour cream, or any of your favorite taco toppings. . . . #tacotuesday #crispyrolledtacos #whitepeopletaconight LinkDM *001*

People always ask how I do it all… but it’s People always ask how I do it all… but it’s not about doing it all. It’s about making space.✨ No, I don’t have it all together.

Who doesn’t love a “flag” made out of chicke Who doesn’t love a “flag” made out of chicken wings and ranch?! Say WINGS for the best way to make your wings (it’s my cheeky hack that requires no frying!)! Now, I don’t have this chicken wing flag as a post on my website… But here are the details you need to know: Use a half sheet pan, or any a sturdy something that has a lip. Make your ranch boats out of foil, and this is just a “trust and go” situation. I love roasting purple peruvian potatoes for the blue part of the “flag.” If you’re feeling extra festive and fancy, stamp out some cheese with star cutters… Serve to your people and enjoy!! P.S. The link will send you to my Garlic Buffalo Chicken Wings… If you want a more “red” hued sauce to keep with the theme, head to your sauce aisle and pick one up! Use the same method from that recipe post, and you’ll be a success! . . . #summerrecipes #chickenwings #americanarecipes #4thofjulyrecipes

Say SALAD in the comments, and I’ll send the recipe to you! It’s this mayo-rich salad that enhances a melted cheese and meat sandwich… 🥗 I’ve become obsessed with the salad portion (of course!). Head over to your local butcher and pick up some deli meats. Add “shrettuce,” marinated tomatoes and shallots, and cute baby cucumbers to a big platter. Lovingly swirl your deli meats into all the veggies. 🥖 Top with homemade croutons… And then the ✨magical✨ part of the salad… Drizzle with the homemade Grinder Salad Dressing! Filled with red wine vinegar, mayo, pepperocini juice, and lots of garlic. 🎉 Y’all! This is what summer dinner plans are made of! No cooking… just assembling. 🥳 And it’s a real show-stopper for the those ✨magical✨ mealtimes we all crave!
