Johnsonville Grillers Review
Tired of the plain bland burgers? I have something for you to try.

There are options to cooking these, however using the grill was the way that was strongly suggested. Grilling always give things that extra ump, but since we are in need of another grill we just…

Fashion, entertainment, kidzone, informational sessions and hair products all around, who can resist. There were many new features that they implemented like the Men’s Den. 19th Annual World Natural Hair Show Recap The danger and allure of attending this event is the big time discounts you can receive by attending.

Chicken Sausage Switch with Al Fresco
As most of you have heard there is a big push to switch from pork to chicken, particularly in the sausage category. I jumped upon that band wagon as well due to the fact that hubby and I are attempting to lose some weight before our anniversary this August.

I had to have something quick/fast to be able to whip up quickly during the middle of the week and thanks to the fact that the chicken sausage…
