I was extra motivated to come to the conference this year and take advantage of the networking opportunity and learn from all the attendees. ย You see, beginning this August and for the first time in 20 years, I will have three days a week with absolutely no little ones at home because Jones Baby #6 starts preschool!
As a momma, that reality makes me surprisingly sad and sentimental. ย However as a blogger, it makes me quite excited to tackle a whole new level of this blog adventure that I didn’t have time to do until now. ย There was no doubt in my mind that I needed to get to this conference to get my mind working and my creative muscles warmed up.Knowing how much amazing food I would be consuming this weekend, I’ve been sticking to a lower carb diet in preparation. ย I wanted to be able to indulge and still have my clothes fit afterward ๐ ย My family was quick to declare this marinade as the best marinade for the grill in my repertoire! ย Since we adore Thai food in our family (i.e. Thai Chicken Salad with Spicy Peanut Sauce), I have tried other Thai marinades in the past but I have been generally disappointed. ย I decided it was time to rely on my own culinary prowess and the result was outstanding! ย Exactly what I was looking for: ย spicy, sweet, salty and sour.
