Zach here.<br />
<br />
Welcome to Man Monday!<br />
<br />
So you know what's cool? Fire is cool. Well, I mean it's hot, of course... but it's COOL! Why is it that dudes like fire so much? According to truth.com, aka Wikipedia, ninety percent of diagnosed pyromaniacs are male. So, why?<br />
<br />
I honestly don't have a clue. In fact, I've literally been sitting here for 15 minutes trying to come up with a theory. Does it have to do with gender roles? Are boys more destructive? Is testosterone the true pyromaniac, simply pulling us along like a marionette? I don't know, and I don't really care. All I know is, fire is cool.<br />
<br />
When I was around 9 years old, I decided it would be fun to build a little fire... out of very dry grass... in the middle of summer... right next to my grandparents' porch. A neighbor who drove by called my grandparents and within minutes, by grandmother was looking down on me from atop the porch, berating my inexcusable behavior while I tried to hide what I was doing. Another time, I tried smoking a hollow stick. Yup, just a stick with flames shooting out the end. You can imagine how that felt in my lungs. You can also imagine what it looked like when the neighbor caught us in the bushes "smoking sticks."<br />
<br />
I'm here to say, I still love fire. Now, I'd like to think I do smarter things with it, like making food and stuff. Which leads me to why you are here today...<br />

Makes about 8 servings<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<ul>
<li>1 lb beef strips, stir-fry style (or cut your own from a strip steak)</li>
<li>1/4 cup soy sauce</li>
<li>2 tablespoons brown sugar</li>
<li>1 tablespoon rice vinegar</li>
<li>1 clove garlic, minced</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon onion powder</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon ginger powder (or 1 teaspoon of minced fresh ginger)</li>
<li>enough skewers to skew them all!</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>First and foremost, soak your skewers (if made of wood) in a cookie sheet with a shallow layer of water.</li>
<li>Whisk all of your ingredients together, minus the beef strips, to create your teriyaki.</li>
<li>Soak the beef strips in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes.</li>
<li>While the beef is soaking up all the teri and yaki, build your fire... preferably outside. You can also use the grill, but that would be slightly less manly. Just saying.</li>
<li>Now, I don't know how hot your fire is or how big you've built it. I would say, position a cooking grate 3-4 inches above the top of the flames. Let the grate get nice and hot. Then, place each skewer on the grate and bask in the beautiful sizzling. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, maximum. Don't worry, if you are a little low in the testosterone today and are worried about it being too rare, it won't be. As long as the strips are thin, they will be plenty cooked.</li>
</ol>
<div>
To my pyromaniac friends: Please burn responsibly. Use this recipe as an outlet for your flaming urges. And by flaming I mean flaming... literally flaming - not, you know... never mind. Unless of course you identify as both a pyromaniac and -- okay I'll stop.</div>

We are still trying to figure out how we want to do this, so don't mind us while we figure it out. Things this week will be a little different from last week. We will share our top pinned recipe on Pinterest, our most successful post on Facebook, a recipe we have been dying to try, and a snippet of life from the week.<br />
<br />
We hope you enjoy a somewhat, more personal post. And even if you don't, oh well. We have fun writing it and without the enjoyment on this blog, it would be nothing. That's all. Happy Friday, friends!<br />

4 - Favorite happening - For Valentine's Day this year, I gave Zach a 52 Weeks of Dates basket, with 52 envelopes stuffed with one date per week for an entire year. This last week, we went on our very favorite date yet! We went on a bike ride all around Fort Collins and topped it off with pizza and ice cream. My favorite part was all of the gorgeous blossoms that are popping up on the trees! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Zach and I talk about our dream house all the time and have described in ridiculous detail, what we want it to look like. I told him that I want our driveway to be lined with whatever trees these are, so we can enjoy this beauty every spring. It makes my heart so happy!</div>

<b>These Dulce de Leche Oatmeal Bars are great to make when you want something fancy, but easy. They have two oatmeal layers, sandwiching a Dulce de Leche layer, which makes for the most amazing texture to sink your teeth into. They are one of our favorite desserts!</b><br>

I have to confess - I had to look up the difference between dulce de leche and caramel, while making these. Not because I thought they were the same thing, but they taste similar and I wasn't sure what the differences were. I know. Total dulce de leche noob. Turns out, dulce de leche is made with sugar and MILK and caramel is made with sugar and WATER. Which, still doesn't make sense, since my <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2012/10/yummy-homemade-caramels.html">homemade caramels</a> are made with cream and sugar, but whatever I guess. Everything you read on the internet is true, right? So, I'm not going to ask any questions. ;)</div>

All I know, is these taste amazing and you need them in your life.</div>

Zach here, with a special Man Monday.<br>
<br>
You guys know that I'm usually lighthearted, goofy, and/or facetious with my posts, and I don't really plan on changing that any time soon. Yet, today I'm posting something special. Now, I don't expect you to get out your tissue or anything, all I'm saying is this one means a lot to me.<br>
<br>
So, 10 years ago this month my mom died. And you know what sucks? I mean, other than the fact that she's not around anymore? Time, that's what. TIME SUCKS! You know why? Because, here I sit, 10 years after she's gone, and I can't remember much about her. You'd think that the lady that loved me more than anyone else, who selflessly took care of me for 20 years - you'd think that I could just call upon a million memories of her. Well, I can't. I mean, there will always be those special memories that I will cling to - but I miss the small memories. What did she say to me my first day of high school? What was her favorite fruit? Heck, what plans did she have for the summer that she never experienced? I can't even remember what she smelled like... I can only guess.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgDUsGG88MYwDTWecDKLke1tdc0aTXG2sG06Zi4W-L0fyMNhav6n1k3U-KVQCpReCaMefG82J70iM6gmDqiDEzFW3CURyr5vtEZWMX_BsjBVB2uXhudoGngtp_-kju4MiJLa9WmCpYK0IE/s1600/Spaghetti+Pie+Recipe+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgDUsGG88MYwDTWecDKLke1tdc0aTXG2sG06Zi4W-L0fyMNhav6n1k3U-KVQCpReCaMefG82J70iM6gmDqiDEzFW3CURyr5vtEZWMX_BsjBVB2uXhudoGngtp_-kju4MiJLa9WmCpYK0IE/s1600/Spaghetti+Pie+Recipe+3.png"></a></div>
<br>
So, you know how I stick-it to that old bugger Time, who robs me of so much? Well, stuff like this helps. Venting to an unsuspecting world helps. But, believe it or not, pondering the memories I DO still have helps me feel like I'm still in the battle against Time. <br>
<br>
One of those memories? Spaghetti Pie!! My mom made spaghetti pie all the time. Unfortunately, I don't have the <em>exact</em> recipe that she used, in fact, I don't know if it even exists anymore. For all I know, the recipe was in her head only. But Sarah and I did our best to recreate it, and I will say, it's rather impressive! So, here's a tribute to mom! <br>

<br>
Like a white knight on a battle field of glory, I bring forth my saber, named Spaghetti-Pius and strike down that old tyrant, Time! Though wounded, I leave this battle field feeling light-of-heart and happy for the memory of those who mean so much to me and who are fighting glorious battles in Heaven. Hmm, what's that other feeling I have whilst leaving this field of battle? Fullness. Full, well, because I ate too much spaghetti pie. But I wouldn't have it any other way.<br>
<br>
I love you mom.<br>

With how much we talk about ourselves and the food we eat here on this blog, I thought it might be fun to talk about my awesome friends, on occasion, and see what they're cooking up at their place!<br />
<br />
Here's how this is going to work: I will share my top 4 highest repinned things from the week, whether they be food, crafts, pretty things, quotes, inspiration - who knows. {But let's be honest, they'll probably be food the majority of the time. Haha} Why our top pins, you might ask? I figure that they must be popular for a reason! If they are popular on Pinterest, then you might just love them too! I will give a photo of the pin, a direct link to the blog that it came from, and a pin link where you can easily repin them to save for later.<br />
<br />
Sound easy enough? Good. Let's do this thang!<br />

Last week, I found myself in need of a quick treat to take to some ladies in my church. If you didn't know before, I'm telling you now - I'm a <a href="http://www.mormon.org/">Mormon</a>. Now that we have that out of the way, I'll teach you about something in our church, called Visiting Teaching. As a Mormon, you are assigned to a "ward", based on your address. The concept is pretty genius actually. No matter where you live, you will have a church that you belong to. It's great because it gives you more of a sense of community, within the ward, rather than not knowing who you are going to see each week. Make sense?<br>
<br>

Within the ward, the 18+ year old ladies, make up what is called the Relief Society. In that, each person {if they agree to it} is assigned, with another lady, to visit 2 or 3 other women each month. This builds friendships, givea a reason to interact with women that you might not have otherwise, and gives a chance to share your testimony. I am actually partnered up with another food blogger, <a href="http://www.letsdishrecipes.com/">Danelle at Let's Dish</a>, that happens to be Mormon and is in my ward as well! I love that lady and it's been great to be her partner!<br>

Each visit, we try to share a spiritual message, but we also try to genuinely get to know each lady and get a feel for what is going on in her life. This gives those ladies someone to be able to turn to, if needed, and extra support outside their immediate circle. Periodically, the ladies that you are assigned to visit change, so you have the opportunity to get to know different people. It's great.<br>

I'd have to say that the ladies that we visit, are pretty dang lucky. Having two food bloggers as their visiting teachers? We may not be helping them with any of their diet goals, but at least they can count on good food every month! Which is where these cookies come into play. I needed a quick, easy, but tasty treat to take this last month and this is what I came up with. I'm lucky I even had enough to take around to everyone, because Zach and I couldn't stop eating them right out of the oven! They are so good. I am a huge fan of the sweet and salty combo, so these hit the spot. I have a feeling that they might have just replaced regular chocolate chip cookies in our house!<br>

Are you ready to be introduced to the best cheesy potatoes of your life? These make it to every single one of our holiday dinners. {Along with our favorite green bean casserole. Stayed tuned for that later this week.} </div>

The great thing about these is that you don't have to save them for just holidays, because they're so easy to make. We make them for regular weeknight dinners all the time and then eat them as leftovers for the rest of the week. It's perfect.</div>

<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our Easter was pretty low-key. It was just Zach, Addi, and me at home and while some people may pity that, it was actually pretty great. We miss our families during the holidays, but it's nice to only have ourselves to worry about and to be able to do things on our own timeline. #militarylife </div>

Addi loved her Easter basket, which I tried to pack full of practical things, rather than just junk. Shh, don't let her know that. ;) We are going to Mexico in less than a month, so I got her things like a lifejacket, water shoes, and probably her most favorite item - a Tinkerbell towel. We saw that towel while browsing around Target the other day and she about flipped a lid when she spotted it. I put it in the cart and she started laughing uncontrollably. Ha To say she loves Tinkerbell would be an understatement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Addi also went on her very first Easter egg hunt! I think she liked it...but it was hard to tell by the look on her face. She was dedicated and determined to get every egg in our yard and didn't smile once. To her, she was on a mission and life couldn't be enjoyed until it was complete. And complete it she did! She literally found every single one. Yeah. My kid is a rockstar. ;)</div>

Remember that <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/highheelsandgrills/strawberry-shortcake">Homemade Bisquick Mix</a> that I posted yesterday with the promise to share my favorite Strawberry Shortcake recipe?? Well, I'm here to deliver! I can't tell you how much I love this recipe. It stems back to my childhood years, when my dad used to bribe all six of us kids to behave in church. He called it a "reverence award" and for those of us who were good, he would make us a tasty dessert after church. I won't go into details about how much of a hellion I was growing up, so let's just pretend that I earned the reverence award every week, shall we? ;)</div>

The two most loved awards, were my dad's famous <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2013/03/caramel-popcorn.html">Caramel Popcorn</a> and this Strawberry Shortcake. The biscuits are light and buttery and would honestly be great for any recipe that needs a good ol' biscuit with it. Just omit the strawberries and whipped cream. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The strawberries in this recipe are lightly sugared to give it the sweetness it needs. And is there anything better than homemade whipped cream?? No. The answer is no. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Confession time: I didn't even know you could make whipped cream until after I married Zach. His stepmom was making it for a recipe and showed me how to do it and I was floored! Looking at that girl back then, I never would have guessed that she would start a food blog. Haha!</div>

I think that one of my favorite parts about this Strawberry Shortcake, is that it can easily be used as a dessert OR a breakfast! When I was making these last week, my little brother looked at me funny and asked why I was making them at 9 am. In all reality, these aren't a whole lot different than pancakes, topped with strawberries and whipped cream. At least, that's what I'm going to tell myself. </div>

Have I got something awesome for you today. Raise your hand if you've ever bought a box of Bisquick. {Sarah raises both hands, because she's bought who-knows-how-many boxes.} Sure, it's not all <i>that</i> expensive, but, when you have a daughter like mine that could eat blueberry pancakes every morning of her life, we go through Bisquick like it's going out of style!<br>

My little brother was visiting from out of town all last week and we got reminiscing about the good ol' days when my dad would make Bisquick's Strawberry Shortcake every Sunday. Then, just like that, we found ourselves with a <i>major</i> craving for strawberry shortcake. I realized that I had just used the last bit of Bisquick though and had no desire to leave the house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cue this recipe. It tastes just like the original Bisquick and after making that strawberry shortcake {be on the lookout for the recipe this week!}, I can tell you that it works perfectly in recipes that call for Bisquick! You, my friends, will never have to buy another box of Bisquick again. #yourewelcome</div>

Hello friends, Zach here. It's Man Monday Time!<br>
<br>
So there's this recipe that Sarah and I make frequently. So frequently, that I was absolutely floored this week when Sarah told me it "<i>wasn't on the blog." </i>After spitting my food out and coughing a few times, I exclaimed, "what in the world!?" That atrocity is similar to that of seeing a clean shaven Zach Galifianakis, or Uncle Sam wearing a T-shirt that says "I ♥ Nazis."<br>

Back when Sarah and I were dating (5 years ago this month, BTW), I made frequent trips back and forth between Logan, UT (where I was living) and tiny little Ephraim, UT (where Sarah was living). On one of those occasions, I happened to be in Ephraim during the oh, so beloved <a href="http://www.scandinavianfestival.org/" target="_blank">Scandinavian Days</a>. What is Scandinavian Days, you ask? It's a three day event, held over Memorial Day weekend, to celebrate the establishment of Ephraim, which is just fancy words for lots of booths selling all kinds of crap, live music, tons of food, but most importantly - Sanpete BBQ Turkey and <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2013/07/piccadilly-chips.html" target="_blank">Piccadilly Chips</a>.</div>

You may or may not know this, but Sanpete County is Utah's turkey-growing capital, which means that you can't have a <i>real</i> Sanpete event without their famous BBQ Turkey being present. Rightly so too, because it's amazing. It's so flavorful and moist and it has a way of telling you that summer is officially here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We substituted chicken breast in this recipe for the cost and convenience factor. We don't live near a turkey plant here in Colorado, like they do in Sanpete County, (thank goodness too, because those turkeys stink!) so we had to make do. Normally, you also eat them as turkey steaks, but we prefer them in kabob style. We made these at least a dozen times last summer and they were a hit every time. We even made them for Addi's birthday party and we often make them for company. Heck, I even make them when I go over to OTHER people's homes. True story. The time is ripe my friends to spread the word about these delicious kabobs.</div>

I didn't think a whole lot of it, until the next day, Zach came home and said that so many people told him that this was the best cheesecake they're ever eaten. Umm, can you say "totally and completely flattered"?? Little do they know how ridiculously easy they are.</div>

If you struggle at all or are intimidated by baking cheesecake, start with these ones. They're pretty much foolproof and are one of the tastiest desserts ever!</div>

After posting <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2015/03/olive-garden-zuppa-toscana-copycat.html" target="_blank">Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana</a> soup a few weeks ago, you might begin to think Zach and I have an Olive Garden addiction. And you would probably be right. It's okay. We have nothing to hide. </div>

Unless you have never been there {Yeah, those people exist}, you probably understand what is so appealing about this delicious Italian food chain. When we go there for lunch, I almost always get their soup and salad option. Partly because it's cheap, partly because it's delicious, but mostly because it's bottomless. #girlscaneattoo When we go for dinner, I usually play it safe and get their Fettuccine Alfredo. I love that stuff so much and it also makes for really great leftovers!</div>

The one thing that I can't leave Olive Garden without eating though, is their breadsticks. Holy toledo, they definitely have the best breadsticks I've ever had in my life. Ask anyone. They'll agree. They're soft, but crispy when you bite into them and that hint of garlic tops it all off. It's no wonder i eat at least four every time we go there. After trying numerous times to recreate them, I think I finally did it! Try this and let me know what you think.</div>

I have tried making a whole cheesecake four different times and have only been successful once. It was with this <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2014/11/chocolate-orange-cheesecake.html">Orange Chocolate Cheesecake</a>. {Which tastes amazing, might I add.} The other ones have all tasted great and at least looked like a cheesecake, but the middles all sank in and they cracked every single dang time! I hear that over mixing is usually there reason for the cracks and cooking to quickly is the reason for the sunken middle, but even when trying to avoid those two things, it <i>still</i> happens. So annoying. One day, I will get it perfect and when that happens, you will definitely be hearing about it!</div>

In the meantime, I think I can be happily content with these cheesecake bars instead. We've made a <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2012/11/dulce-de-leche-cheesecake-bars.html">Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Bar</a> and <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2014/05/reeses-peanut-butter-cheesecake-bars.html">Reese's Cheesecake Bar</a>, but I will have to admit that these Oreo ones are my favorite.

Zach doesn't like cheesecake. Yeah. Crazy kid. So, I guess I'll eat the whole pan of these by myself. If you need me, I'll be in a sugar coma and won't even be sad about it.</div>

This ravioli is creamy and flavorful and considering how easy it is to make, you will definitely want it in your regular dinner rotation.<br>

Let me be the first to say that I am all for making dinners completely from scratch. I like knowing what's in it, it makes me feel accomplished, and it usually tastes so much better. But I'll be darned if you don't just need something quick and easy that still tastes pretty good, every now and again, gosh dang it! That's exactly what this recipe is.<br>

It takes less than 15 minutes to make and even my one year old gobbled it up. I'm not going to say that I'm the best cook in the world. I leave that to Zach. But I don't think I'm a terrible cook and Addi still won't eat half of what I make. So, considering she ate this and loved it, I'd say it's a definite win!<br>

Get this: Did you know that March 28th is national "Something on a Stick Day"? Yeah. Neither did I. But I know now and I'm totally going to celebrate it! What is it about putting something on a stick that makes it taste so much better? My hometown has a famous turkey recipe that calls for a few turkey breasts, marinated in everything delicious. Last summer, Zach and I made that recipe, but cut the turkey up and did it with skewers instead and I must say - I don't think we will ever go back to eating full turkey breasts. There's just something so satisfying about eating it on a stick!<br>

Anyway. I'm getting a little off topic here in my excitement of eating things on sticks. Never thought that would be a sentence I'd be writing on this blog. When I think of eating things on sticks, fruit kabobs and fondue are the first things that come to mind. We actually just had a fondue night with some ladies from my church last week and it made me wonder why I don't ever do fondue at home. It's so easy and tastes delicious!</div>

The two main types {and maybe the only types} of fondue that I've seen are of the chocolate variety and cheese. Do you see a trend in those? The main component is dairy! I've been an ambassador of sorts for the REAL® Seal brand for almost a year now and have learned so much in the importance of buying and using quality, U.S. based dairy in my cooking, baking, and every day drinking. This company has been around for almost 4 decades and they use stringent qualifications to make sure that the dairy products that hold their stamp are products that you and I can trust. I challenge you to look for the REAL® Seal on your next grocery visit and make using their products a part of your every day life!</div>

You can start by getting the ingredients for this Cookie and Cream Fondue. It's made with cream and butter, stamped with the REAL® Seal, along with white chocolate chips and chocolate sandwich cookies. Yeah. Only four ingredients. It's super easy to make and I think it just hit the spot as my favorite fondue that I've ever had. You'll love it, your friends will love it, and it's sure to impress at the next fondue night you go to.</div>

Zach here. Do you ever have those moments when you just want a chocolate chip cookie SO bad? The hankering is so profound it even interrupts your lounging while watching the Walking Dead? You meander upstairs only to quickly become overwhelmed and disappointed when you realize making a cookie is going to take like 30 minutes! But what happens to Rick Grimes!? I can't wait that long!<br>

<br>
Well, that's never happened to me *cough*, but I have a solution. This chocolate chip cookie literally takes 3 minutes or less seconds to cook. No joke.<br>
<br>
Oh, and the best part? It's actually enjoyable. To illustrate, let me tell you a TRUE story about this very cookie...<br>
<br>
Once upon a time, Sarah and I were babysitting some neighbor kids. I made the mistake of making <em>one</em> of these mug cookies for the kidlets. I put the cookie on a plate, grabbed 3 forks and said, "okay guys, here it is, but you need to share this one while I make more." Have you ever seen those nature shows where a pack of wolves who haven't eaten anything in like 42 days claw at each other and bite each other to get at some well deserved prey? And, as they eat you see pieces of animal flesh flying all over the place, but you can't ever really see what it is they are eating? Yeah, that happened. This pack of children consumed this cookie in less then 8.3 seconds. I've never been so breathtakingly astonished than the moment I witnessed the veracity and ferocity in which their prey was devoured.<br>

I don't know about you guys, but I've been on a soup kick lately. Let's be honest, soups aren't very manly. Need proof? Picture this:<br>
<br>
Guys get together for Guy Day, Dude Night, Menrichment, Man Monday, whatever manly event where testosterone is plentiful... maybe they just went hunting/shooting/hiking and are coming back home, sweaty and tired. Maybe they went to the ball game and are hankering for some grub. Maybe they sat around all day comparing chest hair and relating manly stories that generated a healthy hunger. Whatever it was, imagine one of the dudes (think of Cam from Modern Family) clap his hands together and say, "all right boys, who's ready for some fabulous tomato soup?" <br>

Doesn't quite fit, does it? Well, in-spite of that, I've been consuming a lot of soup lately, and I still feel manly. Why? Well, friends, I'm trying to shed a few pounds. The fam and I are going to Cancun in May and I don't want to look like a fat blob when we go. What does this have to do with soup? Soup is incredible in many healthy ways. First, you can hide all sorts of veggies in a soup without it tasting veggie-like. Also, a warm soup can help you feel full for not a lot of calories. Nothing makes you feel more like a man when you look in the mirror and can do the peck dance. Eat soup, do the peck dance. Simple.<br>

We have made this cauliflower soup before, but it was almost inedible because of how grainy it was. We were recently given a <a href="http://qbapp.go2cloud.org/SH7y" target="_blank">Wolfgang Puck Commercial Blender</a> by <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fqbapp.go2cloud.org%2FSH7m" target="_blank">Eastman Tritan™</a> and I can't begin to tell you what a difference that a quality blender like this one made! It's a commercial blender that quickly and {just as important} <i>quietly</i> whips up just about anything we need. One of the great things about it too, is that it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Yes, it's more expensive than your typical Walmart blender, but it also does the job way better than them, and it can hold up against the pricey $400 blenders as well. The jar is made with Tritan<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">™</span> plastic from Eastman, which is nice, durable plastic, so while it looks fancy, you don't have to worry about dropping it and shattering it into a million pieces.<br>

<span style="text-align: start;">We have been loving this blender and can't wait to try out so many new {and old} recipes for it. I actually have a spaghetti sauce recipe that I pretty much lived off of in college, that I think could be whipped up perfectly in this thing. It would do a great job of getting that smooth and saucy consistency. Stay tuned for that one, folks. I highly recommend checking out this blender! </span></div>

Raise your hand if you love Disney! {Insert Sarah, raising both hands, while jumping up and down.} To say that I love Disney would probably be an understatement. To this day, when I watch almost any classic Disney movie, I can just about quote it, word for word. {As can most kids that grew up in the 90's, I'm sure. Yes. You read that right. 90's. #imababy} I have been to Disneyland every year for the past 10+ years, except for one, and it doesn't get old. Addi isn't even 2 yet and she has already been twice! Like I said. I LOVE Disney. Which is why I am so excited about this giveaway!<br />

I have gotten together with some other fabulous bloggers to bring you the ultimate All Things Disney Giveaway. This is a ROUND ROBIN giveaway, so you will move to the next person's blog and they will be giving away an entirely different prize that is Disney related. You can enter to win their prize, by following the entry method on their site. And, {SPOILER ALERT!} there is even a Disney vacation package being thrown in for a 2 night hotel stay and 2 adult Disneyland tickets! Lucky dogs.<br />
<br />
As for our blog here, we are giving away a cute Mickey Waffle Maker!<br />
<br />

<br />
I know that just about any child in the world would love one of these, but does it make me sound juvenile to admit that I would totally love one, too? I can already think of a couple waffle recipes that would taste so much better in the shape of a Mickey Mouse face, like our <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2014/10/buttermilk-pumpkin-chocolate-chip.html">Buttermilk Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Waffles</a>. I need one of these in my possession, stat. In the meantime, I'd love to be able to give this one away to one of you!<br />
<br />
<b>To enter this giveaway, simply comment below and tell me what your favorite food at Disneyland/Disneyworld is. {Or something you would like to try if you ever get to go. Perhaps their <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2012/08/dole-pineapple-whips.html">Dole Whips</a>, maybe?} </b><br />
<br />
And that's it! Easy peasy. P.S. Mine is totally their Monte Cristo Sandwich from Cafe Orleans. Mmm-mm good.<br />
<br />

Hi friends! Man Monday time.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br>
Three reasons why copycat recipes are awesome:<br>
<br>
1. To purchase the actual item at the restaurant (vs making it yourself) costs your child's future tuition and your entire collection of Indiana Jones paraphernalia. <br>
<br>
2. Often, the copycat version is better for you, and you feel it instantly... no gut bombs.<br>
<br>
3. I can enjoy <span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2014/03/panda-express-orange-chicken-copycat.html" target="_blank">any</a> <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2012/11/chilis-copycat-skillet-queso.html" target="_blank">copycat</a> <a href="http://www.highheelsandgrills.com/2013/05/sonic-grape-limeade-copycat.html" target="_blank">recipe</a></span> in the comfort of my own home. And I don't even need to wear pants.<br>

<br>
<br>
One reason why copycat recipes can suck:<br>
<br>
1. When they don't actually taste like the original, you feel like shoving a pie in the face of the person who originally created the recipe. And by pie, I don't mean the kind that is yummy. I mean the other kind... you know... made of animal... excrement.<br>
<br>
Well, in this copycat recipe I literally cannot tell the difference between it and the Olive Garden original. It's glorious. You avoid that one pesky negative to copycat recipes, and you can appreciate ALL the benefits. I would just recommend <em>at least</em> having some barrier between your hot soup and your... body... if you choose not to wear pants.<br>

These Nutella Brownies are super easy to make, with only 2 ingredients required. And for those of you that are gluten intolerant, they're gluten free! They're not too sweet, but will definitely curb your chocolate craving.</div>

I don't know about you, but I am a huge Nutella fan. I remember when it started becoming a "thing" here in the U.S. and I couldn't figure out why. Seriously, everybody was talking about it. Then I had a spoonful and it all made sense. It's creamy and chocolatey and once you start eating it, you can't stop. It's made out of nuts too, so it can't be that bad for you, right?<br>

Now, I'm not gluten intolerant, but I know a lot of people who are. We had a function for church a couple of weeks ago, where I was in charge of some of the food. I knew that at least one of the ladies that were coming couldn't have gluten. In trying to be helpful and make her feel included, I bought some gluten free brownie bites. I had to try them out before I just put them out there for whoever to eat and can I be honest? They kind of tasted like dirt. I love dessert and it made me so sad for those that can't eat gluten and how many of my favorite things that I can enjoy and they can't! So, when I came across this recipe and realized that they were gluten free, I wanted to see how they were, so I could tell my friends about them. I'm here to report that they are actually something that I would want to eat on a daily basis! They're not super sweet like most brownies, but with the added confectioner's sugar, it gives it the sweetness it needs. I hope you like them as much as I did!</div>

I'm so excited to share this recipe with you today! Mostly because it tastes good, but partially because it makes me feel empowered. Weird, I know. Let me explain. Last fall, I ran my very first half marathon and it was totally awesome! {Freaking hard, but still awesome.} </center>

Since then, I have kind of fallen off the exercising bandwagon and I have noticed a difference in my energy, definitely in my waistline, but more importantly, in my mood. It's amazing what exercising will do to jumpstart my day. Which is why I'm running my second half marathon this April! Training started last week and I'll be honest - it wasn't as easy to jump back into as I thought it would be. I ran 2.5 miles last week and thought I was going to die. Then again, that might have something to do with the fact that I fell on the treadmill halfway through and it kind of deflated my mojo. I know it will get better though, so I'm excited to stick it out!</center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, when I was training last fall, I made a batch of energy bites like these and I would pop a few on my long runs and they made a world of difference! When you're running 8+ miles, you're burning almost 1,000 calories. These are an easy and delicious way to replenish some of those calories, so you can keep going.</center>

For these energy bites, I added some delicious pomegranate juice made by <a href="http://pomwonderful.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">POM</a>. The main reasoning is that pomegranates are a great source of antioxidant. Scientific studies show that all of the symptoms we normally associate with aging, as well as just about every disease that exists {i.e. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, etc} are caused by the damage of free radicals in your body. Your body produces free radicals naturally by metabolic processes, but when you are running long distances or participating in other endurance exercises, this greatly increases the generation of free radicals. Antioxidants are able to interact with free radicals and neutralize them so that they are no longer harmful to your body. COOL HUH? Think of pomegranate juice as your own natural preventative medication. ;) These energy bites are good for you and they taste delicious too, which is why they have become my new workout buddy!</center>

Next time, I will add some fresh pomegranate seeds, but sadly, they are no longer in season here. Boo.</center>

Yo friends, Zach here. I know, it ain't Monday. More specifically, it ain't Man Monday. Ironically enough however, this post is all about how to be more manly and more womanly. Have you guys ever heard about that blog called artofmanliness.com? Well, it's by far one of my favorites. <a href="http://www.artofmanliness.com/2009/06/03/30-days-to-a-better-man-day-4-increase-your-testosterone/" target="_blank">They have this post</a> on how to increase your testosterone, thereby increasing all sorts of wonderful benefits in a man's life; and in this post, they explain how soy products may not be as good as we've been led to believe the last couple of decades.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, I got to thinking... guys (and girls in a lot of cases) are all about soy protein. Soy is great for you (so we've all been thinking) and protein is great for you, so let's make a shake out of it and drink tons of it after a workout! I can't tell you how many times I've done this myself. In the name of increasing my protein intake, I used some soy product.</div>

The American Nutrition Association <a href="http://americannutritionassociation.org/newsletter/whole-soy-story" target="_blank">paints a very different picture of soy</a> than the one I've been looking at. They say that soy actually mimics estrogen (thus blocking natural estrogen) in women, and decreases testosterone levels in men. As a result, by consuming soy, in a way you might actually be making yourself less man or woman! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So what in the world is my point!? First, let's get the facts before jumping on fad diets. Second, soy may not be as healthy as we've all been led to believe. Third, let's stop replacing good things! Fourth, why not go back to what humans have been doing for 7,500 years -- that is, drink milk! </div>

According to the Real Seal website, "Experts agree that dairy foods deserve a special place in the diets of children. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, several nutrients critical for growth are lacking in the diets of children and adolescents. These include calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin A. Dairy foods provide all of these."</div>

Milk and dairy products in general have been known to benefit health in a multitude of ways for hundreds of years. Just recently, in what I like to call the Pretentious Boom, milk has been scrutinized. Go ahead Pretentious Boomers. Scrutinize. Tell me to drink soy. Tell me to use non-dairy creamers and cream substitutes. Tell me to emasculate my manhood. Tell me everything humankind has been doing is wrong and you are so enlightened as to know the ultimate truth. Tell me all you want. But I'm going to continue to drink milk. I'm going to continue to find natural, beneficial protein, calcium, potassium, and vitamin D from real dairy products. I'm going to make my own whipped cream and not buy the substitute crap (spoiler alert: cool whip). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And I'm going to give you a recipe on making your very own whipped cream. And you are going to be more of a man or woman for it... quite literally.</div>
