August 25th - The Eazy Peazy Weekly - Training, Getting Lost & Crazy Weeks

Friend, this week has been NON-STOP. I’m talking something EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. And guess what? The week isn’t even over yet. Send help. Or beverages. Or both. 🍷😂

We squeezed in a quick overnight backpacking trip with one of the boys and a buddy who had NEVER camped before. Rookie move asking if they wanted camping or backpacking, they thankfully chose backpacking. So off we went! We tested out a new flavor of Alchemy Outdoor Meals (Biscuits & Gravy) and let me tell you…it was freaking amazing. I’m still dreaming about it. But honestly, you can never go wrong with the Sausage Beef Marinara. I always stash some for the next morning because cold marinara in the backcountry = pure nostalgic bliss. (Think leftover cold pizza or lasagna from childhood. So freaking good.)

Oh, and Mother Nature? She thought it’d be funny to dump some rain on us. Totally fine. But when the thunder started rolling in the next morning? Yeah, that was our cue to pack it up and make a run for it. ⛈️

Back in civilization, I couldn’t resist firing up the grill at a friend’s house during a little “business talk.” Next thing you know, I’m serving up kabobs with Yum Yum sauce, corn on the cob, sautéed mushrooms, and chicken tenders like it’s my own backyard BBQ. Have I told you lately how much I love food? Seriously. And the kicker—it was all clean, healthy, and guilt-free. A total win-win.

Training for my big Sawtooths backpacking trip is still in full force. Today’s workout: speed walk up to Table Rock, jog back down. Easy, right? WRONG. You know me, I can’t just do things the easy way. First, I took the wrong trail and ended up in some sketchy dead-end with tall shrubs. After too much Dateline, I had my head on a swivel—waiting for Bigfoot, a bear, or some guy named “Carl” to pop out. My biggest fear? Accidentally walking into someone’s camp. 🙃

Once I finally found the trail again, I ran into an old man…with a KNIFE. My phone was half-dialed to 9-1-1, until I realized he was just snipping wild sunflowers for a bouquet. 😅 A little dramatic, sir, but okay. Anyway, I made it to the top and back down without being kidnapped, so I’ll call that a win for my fitness and my paranoia.

On the home front, Little Man had his first BK JV football game this week! And if you know me, you know I don’t just like football—I LOVE it. Like, live-and-breathe-it love. Both boys are playing this year, and Little Man’s swinging up to Varsity, too. Mama is pumped. 🖤💛

And because apparently I don’t do anything halfway, I also cooked the pregame meal: Chicken Parmesan for FIFTY kids. Yes, fifty. And yes, there were seconds and thirds. My heart could’ve burst watching those plates get cleared. Nothing fills me up like feeding these kids. Truly. ❤️

So, friend, here’s the truth: life is BUSY. It’s loud, messy, jam-packed, and sometimes feels like a marathon with no water station. But it’s also where the best memories are made. That’s why Eazy Peazy Kitchen exists—to give you TIME back. So you can say yes to the games, the adventures, the laughs, and the late-night talks, without stressing about what’s for dinner.

Because dinner with us? It’s not blah. It’s healthy. It’s delicious. It’s actually better than anything you’ll find anywhere else. And it’s waiting for you. Always made with love. Always the best.

Nikki
