So, as in years past, here's the deal-
https://rlv.zcache.co.uk/christmas_pinup_with_penguins_postcard-r2acac7d124c64ddd90d6f9249dac5acc_vgbaq_8byvr_324.jpgSome people (I'm sure you know at least one) are difficult when it comes to gifting. So to make it easy on you, I find random, nifty things that I think would make cool gifts and I share them with you. Buy one for yourself, buy one for a friend, buy one for a lover, buy none. I don't get any money from sharing these with you, I just think these things are cool and unique. Sound good? 
Ok, so:

  • Do you know a guy in your life that needs a quality timepiece without breaking the bank? Hamilton is one of America's heritage brands that has been around since 1912. Try this watch out for casual style that can easily pair with a tuxedo for a black-tie affair. 
  • Have a baseball fan in your life? The New York Times has compiled baseball history books, by team, to make this year's gift giving easy. They're awesome, and they're beautiful.
  • For that wine enthusiast in your life, check out this classic corkscrew that blends style and function to provide for a touch of class at any get-together.
  • Do you have a dog that hates baths? Know a dog that hates baths? Well, this little device makes it easier on everyone. An easy device to make bath time a little easier, a little more comfortable.
  • Need really rich sound and unparalleled style from your personal Bluetooth speaker? Look no further than this amazing speaker from Bang & Olufsen. 
  • For the avid concert-goer in your life, check out this awesome way to store ticket stubs and organize them for a lifetime of memories. 
  • A carry-over from last year's guide, the ultimate multi-tool for the bicyclist in your life. 
  • For the sports fan in your life that just loves it all, check this book out. 
  • The cigar smoker in your life can never have too many great accessories. This cutter by Xikar is a marvel and a great conversation piece. The cigar smoker in your life is sure to love it!
  • If you like getting comfy on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, or know someone that does, this bowl is what you need. 
  • That beer lover that has all the cool things needs this piece of art to tie the room together. Trust me.

I hope this helps you in your holiday giving endeavors! Peace and hairgrease, my friends.

Gluten Free Happiness!

Just because you may be on some restricted diet, doesn't mean that you're no longer entitled to good food and happy thoughts during this Thanksgiving season! So, here's a recipe that's not only gluten-free, but also vegan. You may have seen this recipe somewhere before. It's either because it's not really that unique, or because I've created this specific variation for a client. Pecan-Rolled Sweet Potato Balls 4 big sweet potatoes 2 tablespoons vegan "butter" 1 teaspoon fine sea salt 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg 1 pinch fresh ground cinnamon 3 tablespoons real maple syrup 1 tablespoon orange juice cooking spray (Pam works just fine!) 1 1/2 cups pecans, toasted and crushed Ok, so: Clean the sweet potatoes of any excess dirt. Then bake them at 350°F for an hour or until soft. Once soft, set aside until cool enough to handle. When cool, cut the potatoes lengthwise, in half, and scoop the flesh out of the skin into a mixing bowl. Toss the skins in

Chicago, and the one thing I have yet to really do there

Image
Much of my childhood was riddled with trips from St. Louis to suburban Chicago. Every once in a while, my cousins would take me into the city to see sights and hang out, maybe even go to a Cubs game or a White Sox game. I've done the sights, I've done the shopping. However, almost tragically, I haven't eaten everywhere I want to eat in Chicago. I haven't and I will no longer stand for it! So here's my proposition to anyone willing to join. I want you to join me in some eating. All over the Chicagoland area. I want to try Chicago-style pizza that I actually like. I want to eat at Blackbird, Silver Palm, Chicago Chop House, The Signature Room at the 95th, to name a few. You wanna come? I want you to come. I might even pay.

Mustard-Glazed Turkey Cutlets - Guest Post!!!

*Guest Post!!!*  Hey guys! I’m Alysia a healthy living blogger over at Slim Sanity . At my site, you’ll find healthy recipes and snack ideas, along with some of the workouts that I complete day to day. Thanks to Bijoy, I get to share a great new dinner recipe with you all today! The dinners I make ordinarily revolve around a protein dish, paired with some kind of vegetable. Unless I’m planning on a long run the next day, veggies are the only carbs I serve. Not to say that grain carbohydrates are bad. In fact, they show up in my breakfast and lunches quite frequently. This is just a diet that I typically follow, because it works for me! Today’s recipe is for turkey cutlets, along with a side of seasoned steamed broccoli. It’s by far the best turkey cutlet recipe I’ve ever tasted. Ingredients: 4 turkey cutlets, tenderized 2 tablespoons horseradish     2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 cup black beans   ½ teaspoon garlic salt   ½ teaspoon c
