ChopStir Tool
Hey Everyone!
Today, I am sharing an awesome product with you, the ChopStir tool. I didn’t even know what I was missing until I saw this on one of my Instagram friend’s stories. They were showing how well it splits up ground meat and I knew I had to try it. I ordered it that night.
Do you ever struggle with separating your ground meat when you put it into the pan? Do you feel like you are about to break your turner (also referred to as a spatula) in half? I know I did. I was immediately impressed when I tried out this new tool. It broke the meat up so much faster and it was very sturdy.
Shane and I like to buy ground turkey, since turkey is healthier for you than a lot of other meats. We also like to buy it in the roll so that it doesn’t take up as much room and it can be frozen in the original packaging. The only problem we were having was cutting it up evenly so that it cooked evenly. Not after we bought this tool.
Here is a video of Shane using it.
It has a few other uses as well, though I haven’t tried them out yet! You can chop cooked potatoes and hard boiled eggs. You can use it to break up frozen juice concentrate. You can also use it to chop up ingredients, like an avocado for guacamole. It’s also dishwasher safe, so you can just throw it in there when you are done.
Thanks so much for reading today. I hope you love this post. I really think that this product can help to ease stress while cooking. Let me know what you think or if you try it for yourself in the comments below.

Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken
Hey Everyone!
Today’s post is a recipe for pineapple teriyaki chicken. It’s pretty easy and fast to make. I make it start to finish in about 45 minutes. I have been testing out some new recipes to help with meal prep that I plan to start soon. Shane and I have been really busy lately and we haven’t been eating as well as we should because of that. This is one that we have enjoyed.
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Cornstarch
1 Tbsp Water
¾ Cup Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce
1 Clove Garlic
1 tsp Ginger
2 Chicken Breasts (Cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 Cup Pineapple Chunks (Fresh or Canned)
1 ½ Cup of Uncooked Rice
Recipe:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
- Mix your cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Add this mixture, along with the teriyaki sauce, garlic, and ginger into a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk for a minute and then remove from heat and set aside. Sauce should thicken.
- Add your chicken and pineapple into a pan. (I like to use the Pyrex 8”X8” I have linked it below) Pour your sauce over and stir to coat all sides of your chicken and pineapple.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Ensure chicken is cooked through.
- Cook rice according to the package.
- Add chicken and pineapple mixture to rice.
- Enjoy.

Set your Intentions
Hi Everyone!
Today, I am going to talk about setting your intention for the day. This is something that I think is really important and I believe it can change your life. So, how do you set your intention for the day? It sounds hard, but it’s really easy.
The best thing to do right when you wake up is say something like: today is going to be a great day. Not only say this but believe it. Put a smile on your face. Take some deep breaths.
Now think about what you want and need to get done for the day. Envision yourself getting everything on this list done. Think about how you will feel when everything is done and you are settling down for the night.
Next, we should do something that really resonates with us. What is something you love to do or something that is really important to you? My activities that I love to do in the morning are: reading, working out, writing a blog, or creating a listing for reselling. They are things that I love to do, but don’t always have time to do throughout the day. If I put a priority on them at the beginning of the day not only will I feel accomplished but I also will feel fulfilled.
Set yourself up for success. Are you going to the gym in the morning? Set out your gym clothes and your gym bag. Are you going to read your book? Set it on your nightstand. Are you going to write a blog? Come up with the topic ahead of time so that you can get right to writing. Make it easy on yourself so that you can do your activity with little to no resistance.
Make sure that you are getting enough sleep. If you are not getting enough sleep, you may feel the urge to hit your snooze button. Doing this will not set your day off with a good intention, in fact it can do the opposite! If you hit snooze, you may no longer have time to do those activities that really resonate with you. So if you find yourself doing this often, go to bed earlier.
Last but not least, do not get on your phone as soon as you wake up. Make sure that you are focusing on you and your intentions for the day before you even touch your phone. Do your resonating activity and then you can check your notifications. That way your intention for the day will already be set and you will be ready for whatever the world throws at you!
I really hope you enjoyed today’s post. Let me know what you think and if you end up trying this out for yourself! Thank you for reading, if you love this content subscribe below.

Killer Quad Workout
Today, I am sharing a killer quad workout. It is great for building your quads specifically. They should be on fire by the end of this workout. I love seeing results from doing these exercises. They are great to offset your booty and hamstring workouts as you want to make sure you are working out your legs evenly!
I do three sets of the following:
Elevated Heels Goblet Squat 10 Reps
Bulgarian Split Squat 10 Reps (Each Leg)
Kettlebell Lateral Lunge 10 Reps (Each Leg)
Here is a video of me doing these exercises so that you can see what they are if you are unfamiliar with them! The video is sped up slightly. When you do these exercises keep your movements slow and controlled. You will see results faster if you do this.
I hope you loved today’s workout! Let me know what you think in the comments below. If you want to see more workouts like this please subscribe below for weekly emails. Thank you so much for checking out today’s post.
