Juicy Lucy on the Egg
Have you ever heard of the Juicy Lucy? A Juicy Lucy is a cheeseburger backwards. The cheese is stuffed into the burger patties and melts inside as it cooks. I first saw this concept on a cooking channel show a while back and thought, this is AWESOME!
Get Your Kicks With the Yeti Rambler Bottle
As most of you know, I am a YETI guy. I own a Hopper 30, 2 - Rambler 30's, a Rambler 10, and a Colster. Most recently I purchased my 11 year old the new 36 ounce Rambler Bottle for his birthday.

Throwing A Wrench at the Chef by Julie Frost
You may know my husband Luke from Leisure Depot, either from meeting him in the store, or from reading his blogs. Luke is often off on Tuesdays and that makes Tuesday an exciting day in our household because Luke's days off usually mean that we are cooking on our Extra Large Egg. On one such Tuesday, I bought some filet mignon to cook and was really excited for him to cook dinner!.....
A World Of Fun, Virtually In Your Backyard!
When you pry the remote control, smart phone or controller from the pale, clammy hand of your son or daughter and insist he or she go outside, do you get a slack-jawed or blank look in response? Have they become so digitized that they have forgotten that playing outdoors is even an option?.....
