Mexico, Amigos!

Well folks, he's at it again! We are going to back track from everything else that has been going on because Jord just finished editing our honeymoon footage and now all can experience the thrill of beach slides, parasailing, and snorkeling. We love Mexico!!

Official Biz

It took a little chunk of time, but it is all set! I've got my very own Etsy shop. I made these a few years ago and have sold some here and there from friends and family but I decided it was time to put them out there a little more. So if you would like to see the hottest jewelry on the block, just go here. Also, necklaces will be up soon so keep a look out!

A little taste of the Jord especial

As you may already know, Jord is gifted with cooking (seriously). One of Jord's favorite restaurants served this sauce and Jord couldn't convince the owner to give him the recipe. So, being the go-getter that he is, Jord played with ingredients, proportions, etc. and figured out his own custom sauce that might I say rivals Cafe Rio's green ranch sauce. People, you will fall in love. I am going to give you the secret to happiness here, his very own Jalapeño Ranchera Sauce. Enjoy!

You will need:

• 1/2 cup Mayo
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh minced garlic OR 2 cloves (but no powder allowed)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon Hidden Valley Ranch powder (the stuff you use to make at-home hidden valley ranch)
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (3/4 if you like it picoso)
• 1/4 jalapeño
• 1 heaping tablespoon Crema Mexicana (this is the key to the whole recipe!)

Blend and refrigerate to desired thickness. This yields about a cup, so depending on how many people and what you are serving it with you may want to double it. This goes great with just about anything mexican! Chimichangas, burritos, Cafe Rio-type salads, fish tacos, you name it. Cramers: I had you in mind on this one, I know you'll love to try it. Let us know how it turns out!

**I added this picture because I know how it is when recipes get too exotic, but I'm here to tell you that regular creme will do just fine if you don't want to use crema mexicana :)

Hamren Family Staycation

Instead of caravanning everybody somewhere far away, Mama and Papa Hamren made a staycation week of it and one of our adventures was going to the Flowrider in Ogden. Thanks to my new sissy-in-law, Kami, we got the hook-ups to rent both lanes for a whole hour. Might I say that we HIGHLY recommend it, you will have so much fun trying it out, having fun, and as you can tell, falling. The most important thing we learned is to wear clothes that will stay on well... right guys? Yeah. Jord went to a lot of work to edit this video and he is so excited for everybody to watch it. So enjoy our test run of GoPro editing and Jord's expert-ness in the making! (Not shown: The Kater.. she had to sit this one out because buns in the oven don't mix well with flow riding)
