  • QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you like smoky foods? ⠀ ⠀ I do but my husband does not! I suppose it's the age old debate, but I'm dying to see what you guys have to say! We actually made these as the maiden voyage of our brand new @charbroilgrills and I have to say, we were super happy with how easy it was to use and how great the chicken came out and cooked evenly!). ⠀ Pictured is my Grandma's Non-Smoky Homemade BBQ Sauce. It is the crazy easy grilling marinade that you won't be able to stop eating this summer. This is a total crowd-pleaser!⠀ ⠀ Here's what you'll need:⠀ Tomato sauce⠀ Olive oil⠀ Onion⠀ Green pepper⠀ Yellow mustard⠀ Apple cider vinegar⠀ Brown sugar⠀ Kosher salt⠀ Black pepper⠀ Cooking spray⠀ Chicken breasts⠀ ⠀ PRINT THE RECIPE: https://www.thelifejolie.com/homemade-bbq-sauce/⠀ ⠀ #eeeeats #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #kitchenbowl #girlsonfood #buzzfeast #buzzfeedfood #forkfeed #hackmyplate #huffposttaste #f52 #BHGfood #foodgawker #thekitchn #sweetmagazine #gloobyfood #foodblogfeed #instafood #superfood #foodstagram #foodielife #foodiesofinstagram #mecookmeeat #foodporn #roc #rochesterblogger #rocgirlgang #easyrecipes #grilling #bbqsauce #bbqchicken
  • Can you settle a major debate that’s been going on between us for a while? Leave a comment and tell me whether you prefer your @chickfila with or without cheese! @rupertmagma and I have been battling this out for a while. I’m on Team Cheese 🧀, which I think is totally the way to go! He is totally on Team No-Cheese and the battle rages on. What do you think?! #eeeeats #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #kitchenbowl #girlsonfood #buzzfeast #buzzfeedfood #forkfeed #hackmyplate #huffposttaste #f52 #BHGfood #foodgawker #thekitchn #sweetmagazine #gloobyfood #foodblogfeed #instafood #superfood #foodstagram #foodielife #foodiesofinstagram #mecookmeeat #instayum #roc #rochesterblogger #rocgirlgang #lunchgoals #teamcheese #chickensandwich #chikfila
  • What is your favorite thing to order at @panerabread? ⠀ ⠀ I know, you guys. This is a super hard question. How do you even choose? I love a ton of things there, but an old favorite is their Napa Almond Chicken Salad. So naturally, I had to make my own copycat version. And it is SO good! ⠀ ⠀ Here's what you'll need:⠀ ⠀ Cooking spray⠀ Boneless, skinless chicken breasts⠀ Lemon pepper seasoning⠀ Celery⠀ Red grapes⠀ Sliced almonds⠀ Mayonnaise⠀ Sour cream⠀ Honey⠀ Lemon juice⠀ Apple cider vinegar⠀ Dried basil⠀ Dried rosemary⠀ Kosher salt⠀ Ground black pepper⠀ Sour dough bread⠀ Lettuce⠀ Tomatoes⠀ ⠀ PRINT THE RECIPE: https://www.thelifejolie.com/panera-bread-chicken-salad-sandwich⠀ ⠀ #eeeeats #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #kitchenbowl #girlsonfood #buzzfeast #buzzfeedfood #forkfeed #hackmyplate #huffposttaste #f52 #BHGfood #foodgawker #thekitchn #sweetmagazine #gloobyfood #foodblogfeed #instafood #superfood #foodstagram #foodielife #foodiesofinstagram #mecookmeeat #foodporn #roc #rochesterblogger #rocgirlgang #easyrecipes #panerabread #chickensaladsandwich #chickensalad
  • Does your partner troll you or play pranks on you? Do you do that to them? Tell me about it in the comments! ⠀ The struggle is real, you guys. If you watch my stories, you probably already know that few days ago, I found out that my beloved spouse, @rupertmagma has been playing a prank on me for a while.⠀ ⠀ I am a person who is SUPER particular about my tooth paste (Colgate Cavity Protection Paste and nothing else EVER!). And all the parents out there will probably agree that there is nothing worse than when you accidentally grab the wrong tooth paste and find yourself with a mouthful of Orange-Mango flavored foam.⠀ ⠀ So you can imagine my horror when he admitted that he has been secretly swapping out my toothpaste for my kids toothpaste and recording my reactions (read: groans of disgust upon realizing what I was brushing with).⠀ ⠀ After #klondikegate and now this, I have to wonder how else this guy is trolling me...⠀ ⠀ PS- get this killer Baked Buffalo Chicken Taquitos recipe at https://www.thelifejolie.com/buffalo-chicken-taquitos/ ⠀ ⠀ #eeeeats #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #kitchenbowl #girlsonfood #buzzfeast #buzzfeedfood #forkfeed #hackmyplate #huffposttaste #f52 #BHGfood #foodgawker #thekitchn #sweetmagazine #gloobyfood #foodblogfeed #instafood #superfood #foodstagram #foodielife #foodiesofinstagram #mecookmeeat #foodporn #roc #rochesterblogger #rocgirlgang #taquitos #appetizer #buffalochicken
  • QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you prefer sweet or savory breakfasts? I tend to err on the side of savory in most cases. The big exception? When I was pregnant with A, my oldest baby. I wanted allllllll the blueberry pancakes and French toast! I even told my husband, “you’ll totally know I’m pregnant again when I start ordering all the sweet breakfast foods!” Interestingly, that wasn’t the case, I continued to be right back to my savory-self even when I was carrying T, our youngest baby. Speaking of which, These Puff Pastry Egg Muffins are perfect to make for family brunch and also to make for a tasty grab-and-go option through the week. Quick, easy and minimal effort for maximum flavor! Here’s what you’ll need: Cooking spray Frozen puff pastry sheets Bacon Sharp cheddar cheese Eggs Milk Salt Black pepper PRINT THE RECIPE: https://www.thelifejolie.com/puff-pastry-egg-muffins/ #eeeeats #feedfeed @thefeedfeed #kitchenbowl #girlsonfood #buzzfeast #buzzfeedfood #forkfeed #hackmyplate #huffposttaste #f52 #BHGfood #foodgawker #thekitchn #sweetmagazine #gloobyfood #foodblogfeed #instafood #superfood #foodstagram #foodielife #foodiesofinstagram #mecookmeeat #instayum #roc #rochesterblogger #rocgirlgang #breakfast #easyrecipes #muffins #puffpastry
