#WelcomeSpring - Montgomery Inn Secret Recipe BBQ Sauce

 *DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Montgomery Inn for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

Montgomery Inn is an iconic American rib joint known for their amazing sauce and if you're not planning a trip to Ohio any time soon, never fear!  You can get their famous sauce delivered straight to your door!



To create this tasty sauce, Montgomery Inn blends tomatoes, garlic, onions, molasses and special spices that finishes in a thick and tangy sauce. It's a great accompaniment to chicken, beef and pork. It's an honest sauce made with honest-to-goodness ingredients and no high fructose corn syrup!


We found this sauce to be lip smacking good.  It was perfect straight from the bottle for those who don't like spice.  We added a little black pepper and cayenne to get it to our preferred heat level and it was super tasty on a BBQ chicken cobb salad.


If you are a sauce-loving family like we are, check out Montgomery Inn BBQ Sauce this Spring!

Guys, I love bread.  I try to make most of our breads from scratch, but during the busier times of the year, that takes a lot of time I don't have.  Thankfully. La Brea Bakery is here to save the day!  Fresh, scratch made breads that taste as good as home made!

A classic baguette with a smooth taste and crisp, golden crust make it the perfect complement to any meal.


Three Cheese Semolina Loaf

This rich, savory bread combines the savory flavor of three classic Italian cheeses: Asiago, Parmesan and Romano and makes a mean tomato sandwich!

Rosemary Olive Oil Loaf

Aromatic rosemary and extra virgin olive oil give this bread its soft texture and sublime flavor. and makes a fantastic sandwich bread and garlic toast!

Italian Round Loaf

 This is a classic, bountiful boule bread with a rich, yet subtle flavor. This crusty Italian loaf is perfect with your favorite pasta or lightly toasted and served with olive oil for a dinnertime treat.  It's also a substantial breakfast toast (think egg in a nest) and makes a fantastic grilled cheese!

*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to epres for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

What better way to kick off Sprig than with a hair refresh?!  epres is here to help your hair:


So, what is epres?  The fancy answer: a patent-pending molecular technology that repairs disulfide bonds, which form the internal structure of healthy hair. In layman's terms, no matter your hair type, when you straighten, relax, perm, blow dry, bleach or color it, expose it to harsh environmental conditions, or simply just brush it, millions of these bonds are damaged every day. Rebuilding these bonds with epres technology leads to softer, stronger hair with less breakage and frizz.

epres is easy to use, works in 10 minutes and takes only one step 1-2 times per week to restore stronger, shinier, healthier hair, then weekly to maintain results.  Bio-Diffusion™ Technology continues to repair each strand for hours, even after hair is dry. The highly concentrated, waterless formula consists of just four 100% vegan, biodegradable ingredients.
