We love salmon in our house and have it a lot. So, I’m always trying out a new salmon recipe to shake things up rather than just the normal steaming or grilling.

Disclosure: Consideration was provided by a mentioned brand. I was not paid for this article. All opinions are my own. If we know anything about a triathlon family, it’s that they are active. Whether there is one triathlete in the family or more, it becomes addictive and everyone catches the “let’s stay active bug”. And my family is no different. We’re always looking for a…

We’re always looking for great ways to show our appreciation on Father’s Day. This year, I think we surpassed ourselves. We found a getaway spot that offers tons of outdoor activities or if you so choose, doing nothing but relaxing on the water in Adirondack chairs. At the Weekapaug Inn in Rhode Island, you’ll find yourself in a rustic, comfortable setting complete with all the…
