5 Reasons You Want a Ram 1500

Growing up I always thought only farmers or construction workers drove trucks. But now, I know better. When looking at the Ram 1500 I don't have visions of construction sites or farm fields, I see family road trips, weekend home and garden projects and more. The Ram1500 is a family car, yes I said it, family car. The quad cab can easily fit 2 infant car seats without sacrificing the comfort of the driver and passenger. Trust me, I know because I tried this when I was in Atlanta last October. We ...

Copycat Chipotle Carnitas

Peyton loves the carnitas at Chipolte. She always orders a carnitas burrito every time we go.  I'll admit I am partial to their steak but I wanted to make carnitas at home for Peyton so I gave it a shot. Plus, making it in a big batch is perfect for family get-togethers. I actually made this exact recipe for my grandmother's 90th birthday party and it was a huge hit. While it tastes just like Chipotle's carnitas it is a little juicier or moist which was a huge hit.  Plus it makes reheating this ...
