    ValleyFair is back! It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to walk through the turnstiles and enjoy a day at ValleyFair.

  • Crazy Horse

    Peyton has a fascination with dinosaurs. There was one point when she would only watch The Land Before Time and Ice Age movies.

  • Wall Drug

    Stopping at Wall Drug is a must if you are in South Dakota. I had never been before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. When we arrived, immediately I felt overwhelmed.

Ninja Foodi Peach Ice Tea

One of my favorite beverages is tea. We don't really drink soda in our house but I always have a pitcher of tea in the refrigerator.

That is why I am now making my tea in my Ninja Foodi. Did you ever think you could use your Ninja Foodi to cut the brew time of your tea to nearly nothing? Well, you can!

Ninja Foodi Loaded Baked Potatoes

With back to school comes rushed evenings. That means little time to cook dinner before it gets late. I typically use our Ninja Foodi at least 3 times a week to help make dinner quickly. Tonight, we are making loaded baked potatoes in the Ninja Foodi. Yes, I know I can microwave potatoes but that alters the level of nutrients and vitamins in the potato. And baking takes too long. However, the Ninja Foodi can have a perfectly baked potato on my plate well under 30 minutes! I was able to fit 5 ...
