Someone Found PJ’s Long Lost Twin

How crazy is this picture?! Doesn’t it look just like PJ when he grows his beard out? And check out those eyebrows! Identical.

One of our sweet followers (thanks Scott!) sent this to us a while back and we just now saw it. We can’t stop staring at it and have so many questions, mainly: how can we meet this guy, tell him to grow his beard out, and persuade him to take a side by side picture with PJ? Open to suggestions...

Do You and Your Partner Share Clothes?

Something keeps happening to us every time we leave the house...

We'll be getting ready to head out the door and we'll look down and realize: we're dressed the exact same. And if not the exact same, then pretty darn close. How do we not even realize it when we're getting ready? After being together for so long, you would think we would be better at this by now.

But maybe that's just it. Maybe we've been together for so long that we've become that cliche couple who starts dressing alike! It usually happens when we're in gym clothes, and it's usually a grey shirt and navy blue shorts. Apparently we've accumulated an embarrassing amount of those two colors over the years, so it's bound to happen from time to time, right? Sometimes we catch it before we leave the house and one of us will change, sometimes we don't catch it until we're already out, and sometimes we just don't care enough to do anything about it. We embrace it and live our truth (AKA we're too lazy to change).

We're fortunate enough to be the same size in pretty much all of the clothes we wear, so we share most everything. When we first got together, our styles were somewhat different, but over the years they've sort of blended into a hybrid to where we both feel comfortable wearing one another's clothes. Still, we do have different styles when it comes to some aspects of our wardrobe: Thomas prefers baggier, oversized shirts, while PJ likes his to be a little more snug. 

What about you? Do you and your significant other find yourselves dressing alike from time to time and/or sharing clothes? How do you feel about it? Would love to know...

Mushroom Burgers with Caramelized Onions & Kale Chips

We've doing our best to eat healthier lately, and that means we've had to get creative with the types of foods we're cooking in the kitchen.

Case in point: the mushroom burger, which is a nice substitute for an actual burger and, though it doesn't necessarily taste like a hamburger, it's packed with its own flavors that make it equally satisfying. We tweaked a recipe from Christal and made it our own, leaving out the dairy, but you could totally add cheese to make it even better.

Here's what we did:

Ingredients:

• Portabello mushrooms
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup sliced sweet white onion
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 2 cups mixed greens lettuce
• 4 tsp Dijon mustard
• Kaiser rolls
• Kale
• Salt
• Pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat the grill.
2. Take a large ziploc, and place mushrooms in the bag, add the balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and seal bag. Shake the bag until the mushrooms are coated in the vinegar and oil. Let sit for a few minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
3. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), rinse the kale and chop it into chip-like pieces. Place on a non stick baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, pepper, and sea salt. Cook for 10-15 mins or until chips are crispy and the edges are brown. Remove and let cool.
4. Heat a non stick pan over med-high heat, add in the sliced onions and olive oil, toss to coat the onions with salt and pepper.
5. Lower heat to medium, and cook the onions, stirring often until they are soft and browned, about 10 minutes.
6. Remove mushrooms from ziploc and place on the heated grill, rounded side up. Let cook for 3-4 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, slice tomato and wash lettuce, and prepare any other preferred garnishes.
8. Turn mushrooms over so they are flat side up and top the inside of the mushrooms with the caramelized onions.
9. Continue to cook for 3 more minutes then remove from grill.
10. Using your favorite buns, assemble burgers starting with the dijon mustard, then top with the mushroom and onions and cheese, then top with tomato, lettuce, and the other half of the bun.
11. Enjoy!
