My newest breakfast obsession is these breakfast tacos that are made with all of my favorite breakfast foods – bacon, eggs, cheese, and more cheese! The thing that really sets them apart though is they have a pancake taco shell instead of a regular shell! Genius right?

Re-Releasing my Iceland Video!

This week, I re-released my Iceland travel video. The original video is one of the things I’m most proud of in this blogging/content creation journey I’m on. There’s just one problem: the first version had profanity in the song I chose. I didn’t even notice that there was swearing in the song when I picked it.

A classic sour cream coffee cake recipe with cinnamon streusel that is so easy to make and honestly the best coffee cake you’ll ever eat.

The breakfast was a community effort. All the food was made by volunteers: 1,800 dozen eggs, 1,300 pounds of sausage, 5,000 half-pints of milk, 126 gallons of ice cream mix, 3,500 cartons of orange juice, 200 coffee cakes, 13 lugs of fresh strawberries, 110 pounds of butter, 480 pounds of cheese, and 26 jars of coffee.

Antelope Canyon Tour & Guide

Everything you need to know about Antelope Canyon, Page, AZ. Your questions answered about Upper vs. Lower Antelope Canyon, tickets, tours and more!

Our southwest road trip wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona, at least for someone like me who is always chasing the ‘gram. Even though it’s been stunning for ages (eons?), for some reason it just started showing up on my Instagram feed in the last year or so. The secret is out and the crowds at this tourist destination are a testament to that.

Despite its popularity though, Antelope Canyon still manages to be magical. You just have to suck it up and ignore the crowds and instead get yourself lost in the vibrant colors and swirled rocks. Nature is amazing.
