The Grill Life #grillalfresco

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of al fresco. The opinions and text are all mine.



There is just something about summer and my grill that makes me super excited.   I'm not sure about you, but a burger or sausage ALWAYS tastes better when it's from the grill!



I don't have the time or energy to sit at home and come up with recipes for dinner.  We're always on the go.  Even in the summer.  And when it comes time for dinner, we just want something delicious and quick.  THANKFULLY al fresco has delicious products, found super easily at my local grocery store.  I've been a fan of al fresco for some time now, and I'm excited to share the newest flavor with you Sweet and Smokey BBQ.  



It's seriously easy to make.  Preheat your grill.  Open the packet.  Place the sausage on the grill.  Turn them a few times.... I do about 10 minutes.   Then plate those babies, cut up and enjoy.  Super easy and delicious!

al fresco's chicken sausages are made with lean, skinless chicken meat with 70% less fat and 30% less sodium than the average pork sausage.  Did I mention they are also gluten free and packaged full-cooked.  Yeah.  They rock.



I did get a little "fancy" the other night when I used my new spiralizer with my color carrots and zucchini, which took maybe 5 minutes max... spiralizing and a quick saute.  Easy pairing.

I also took advantage of al fresco's chicken bacon and added it to my all time favorite dinner - rice bowl topped with avocado, fried eggs and salsa.  Adding in the chicken bacon pushed this dinner over the top!  AMAZING!!!

Did you know that al fresco has a contest going on from 6/20/16 through 7/31/16.  Head over there to vote for your favorite recipe and enter yourself for a chance to win big!

Tell me - what is YOUR favorite thing to grill!?  What do you pair it with?

The (Wright) Right Socks for ME! + Giveaway

Socks are very important to a runner.   If they rub you the wrong way, it will make for a very uncomfortable run.  Bunching up, toes too cold, too hot, rubbing - all things that can go wrong with a sock.  I'm sure there are some other scenarios I've left out. Thanks to Tom and Kim at WrightSock , I had the chance to try some of their socks out.  Since I wear a size 9 and my size is borderline between a medium and a large, Tom thought it was best for me to try out   both the medium socks and the large socks. I was sent the Running II Double Layer Socks and the Merino TRL Double Layer Socks to try out.  I've never tried out double layer socks before.  Sometimes I have worn two pairs of socks in the winter, but there has been a lot of rubbing which has led to some unpleasant blisters.  Yuck. First up, Running II sock, retail price $12.00. I tried out the medium and large in the quarter sock.   I wore the mediums for my 12 miler wit...

I GLOW + giveaway

Running at night scares used to terrify me.  But, it all comes down to if I want to run I had to get over this fear.  Running in the darkness is my only option if I plan on running Monday through Friday since it’s dark before school and getting dark when I leave school and it’s going to be this way until mid February/March.  I supposed option B would be to rejoin the gym, but I really don’t want to spend the $$ and I don’t really enjoy the treadmill anymore.  So, outside it is! I’ve put a lot of thought into what I need to feel safe to run at night.  First and foremost, I needed some new gear to help me out, which lead me to RoadID for some help in this area. This company is fantastic.  It was founded by Michael and Edward Wimmer, a father/son owned company.  Read the story here .  Last fall, I had purchased my own ShoeID.  I like the simplicity of it and that ease of putting it on any pair of shoes (with laces) as I head out the ...

Tommie Rocks + Giveaway!

 A little over a month ago, Jordan from  Tommie Copper  sent me some Tommie Copper gear to sample.  I nearly peed my pants with excitement when the Tommie package came in the mail.  It was a gorgeous fall afternoon AND I had new gear to try out, so I pushed dinner back and made the executive decision to go for a run immediately.  Have you heard about Tommie Copper ?  This company is known for it’s compression gear that is infused with Copper.  So, why does Tommie use copper in it’s compression gear?  From what I gather, copper has been used medicinally for 1000’s of years.  Apparently copper stimulates the immune system to fight infections, repairs injured tissues and promotes healing.  Do you think if I outfitted myself in TC gear and wore it to school everyday, I would fight off those gross elementary kid germs?  I’m tempted to try that out.  Seriously.   Why do people even wear compression ge...
