No records were broken. Just a few digestive systems.

Two grown men. An entire day dedicated to Skyline Chili. 16 cheese coneys between them, belly bombers (cracker bombs) at every stop, and a whole lot of Skyline employees who were willing to join in on the nonsense. 💪🏻

Was this necessary? Absolutely not. Would they do it again? Unfortunately, yes.

You’d think after ordering one of everything at The Trustees’ Table, Jason would be done eating for the day. 😂 But while exploring the food trucks at Shaker Village of PleasantHill, we met the sweetest woman running a Southern-style mini donut truck who recognized him! We keep finding the nicest people, and some incredible eats. 🙌🏻

Jason ordered three flavors, and she surprised him by putting two flavors on each dozen so he could try SIX of their most popular ones! These little nuggets were addicting.

Please tell me I’m not alone in this. 😂 What’s a food that instantly takes you back to a specific person, place, or moment in your life?

Well, Jason’s love for ordering one of everything has officially taken us across state lines. 😂

This time, he brought us to Shaker Village of PleasantHill in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, where we ate our way through the menu at The Trustees’ Table!

One of our favorite things about Shaker Village is their commitment to sustainable farming. So much of what they serve is grown or raised right on the property, and what they can’t produce themselves, they prioritize sourcing locally. And goodness, you can taste the intentionality in every bite. There’s just something special about food made from scratch with care.

We even brought my uncle’s family along because we knew we’d need help eating all that food! A huge thank you to our wonderful waitress and the entire team for giving our family a memory we’ll be talking about for years.

And there’s more to come! We explored the historic grounds and joined in on one of their seasonal events, Trick-or-Treating at Shaker Village.

Jason may or may not have found room for a few more treats from the food trucks out in the field. 😂

Stay tuned!

Our next food adventure has taken us all the way to Kentucky!
This time, we found ourselves at the beautiful Shaker Village of PleasantHill, a 200-year-old village with some of the most wonderful people and charm around every corner.
And if you’ve been following along with my chef husband’s food adventures, you can probably guess what happened when someone handed him a menu.
We tried to fit the whole Trustees’ Table menu in 3 minutes. We failed. Part 2 is the food. 😂
You’ll see…

I don’t know how he keeps doing it, but this man finds the BEST little places to eat. 😂

On our travels, we stumbled upon Harvest Moon Deli & Pantry in Rochester, Indiana, and I swear they might have some of the freshest, most delicious road trip sandwiches we’ve ever had.

Add in homemade sodas, incredible baked goods, and a husband who wants to try a little bit of everything, and you’ve got yourself a pretty perfect pit stop.

I’m convinced you can’t find a better road trip sandwich. But I suppose we’ll just have to keep trying to be sure. ✌🏻

Jason wanted to do a little something for the woman who’s done a whole lot for him.

His mom has spent so much of her life taking care of everyone else and asking for very little in return. So he decided to take her to her favorite store, Ollie’s, and give her a shopping spree with one rule: anything she touched went in the cart. 😂

It might not seem like much compared to everything she’s done for him over the years, but it’s a start.

I really do love the way this man loves people.

I think Jason might be onto something. 😆

There’s something really special about walking into a locally owned restaurant, ordering one of everything, and getting to experience the food someone has poured so much of themselves into creating.

This time we found ourselves at Mizizi by Street Chef Shaw in Grand Rapids, MI, and GOODNESS. The flavors, the creativity, the food. Every time we thought we’d found our favorite dish, something else came out of the kitchen and made us reconsider.

I think one of our favorite things about this little adventure of ours has been discovering places like this. Incredible food, talented people, and businesses that deserve to be celebrated.

Chef Shaw, thank you for such a wonderful experience. We’re still thinking about that meal!

What locally owned restaurant should Jason order one of everything from next? (Drop the name and location 👌🏻)

Today Jason and Jeremiah are running 13.1 miles in the Grand Rapids Half Marathon with Team World Vision! 🧡

But they’re running for something much bigger than a finish line.

Through World Vision, they’re raising money to help provide lasting access to clean, safe water for children and families around the world.

For many communities, getting water means walking miles every single day, often carrying heavy containers, and the water they collect isn’t always safe to drink.

Access to clean water changes so much. It means healthier families, more children attending school, and more time for families to work and build their futures.

Jason and Jeremiah have a combined fundraising goal of $15,000, and we’re hoping to help them reach it TODAY!

Here’s our $5 challenge:

💙 Jason needs 1,040 people to donate $5.

🧡 Jeremiah needs 552 people to donate $5.

That’s it! Just $5 can help move them closer to their goals.

If you’d like to support both, you can give $5 to each of their individual fundraisers.

And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this with your friends and family would mean just as much!

Let’s see what we can accomplish together while these two run 13.1 miles! 🥹❤️

Follow along on stories! Both of their links are in our profile!

LET’S MAKE A DEAL 😂

If Jason and Jeremiah reach their $15,000 fundraising goal, YOU get to choose the next restaurant where my chef husband orders EVERY APPETIZER!

And to any restaurants watching…

Want to be the restaurant we visit? The restaurant that makes the largest donation toward their clean-water fundraiser gets first dibs!

The best part? Jason has absolutely no idea I’m making these deals. 🤫😂

Let’s get these boys to their goal! ❤️
