Chipotle-Mango BBQ Sauce






The last 2 months have been crazy. In a number of ways, both good and bad. But mostly good.

-Work has been a struggle for me. On April 29th, my supervisor was apart of the cuts in our district. So my coworkers and I had to emotionally deal with losing our supervisor while trying to figure out how to close the school year without her. If possible, I now have even more respect for what she did.

-In May, my doctor, asked me to write a meal plan for the specific food lists of her patients. This was a big task that made my brain hurt, but was so rewarding to accomplish.


-Toward the beginning of June, I went to Illinois to visit my parents. We were in Peoria, where I got to see my good friend from college, Dani. Then my mom and I went to Michigan City, IN, to visit my aunt.



-My Aunt Alice and I went to see my nephew, Luke, at his boy scout camp. It was a long, hot, but fun adventure.



-My best friend from college, Erin, got married last week. I had the honor of being one of her bridesmaids. I went up to Chicago in May for her Bachelorette Party, then Stephen and I just returned from the wedding and a Chicago visit this week. Such a great time!

-All of these events have been very significant in the last 2 months, but the most significant is that I'm going back to school!!!! I enrolled at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. It is based out of New York but is an online program. It is a year long program that officially starts July 11. At the end, I will be a certified Health Coach and Nutrition Consultant. I am so very excited about this journey that I am about to take and can't wait to share my new knowledge with all of you.

*I doubled this recipe and used half as a marinade and the other half to baste the chicken the last 15 minutes of cooking.
