lemon-basil mayo

summer is here.

extra long days of sunshine, swimming, sandals, reading, being surrounded by friends and family at bbq's and eating good food.

 if you are looking for a simple and quick way to amp up the flavor of those summer meals, look no further. this mayo is bright and garlicky and adds a ton of flavor to sandwiches.

haydock's

the mister and i have been wanting to go to haydock's for a couple months now and we were finally able to meet there for lunch today. we heard that they have some mean bbq going on there and we love a good smoked, grilled or bbq anything!

chipotle, lime and honey marinated pork chops

i saw this recipe on a paleo blog, fast paleo, and even though we arent eating the paleo way, it just sounded like a delicious recipe. i try to throw in paleo friendly meals once or twice a week just to cut down on our carbs. all that matters to me when i choose a recipe is that it makes me want to put that food in my belly, but it definitely gets major bonus points if its healthy, too!
