Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! Well it’s Monday isn’t it!?! I don’t know why they have the Super Bowl on a Sunday – we went to bed way to late last night. Did you watch the big game? I made pulled pork roast in my Instant Pot. A 7 pound pork roast that would have taken 8+ hours in my slow cooker was done in only 75 minutes in the Instant Pot and it was so delicious! I used a local seasoning and poured half a can of local beer over it (local to Alabama) – that’s all it needed. After it was cooked, I poured out a lot of the liquid (greasy) and put a bottle of quality barbecue sauce on it. Serve over ciabatta bread with cheese, more barbecue sauce and pickle chips. 🙂
Which Super Bowl commercial was your favorite?!! Did you see the commercial in the third quarter for Death Wish coffee? A small company, they won a FREE 30-second commercial spot. Sold on Amazon, Death Wish Ground Coffee, The World’s Strongest Coffee, Fair Trade and USDA Certified Organic – 16 Ounce Bag claims to be the STRONGEST coffee in the world. It’s expensive. . . but I love a good small business story and I love that they sell coffee. . . because a good strong of coffee is a good thing, in my humble opinion.
This morning we hit the road early and we’re heading from Montgomery, Alabama down to the Mobile area. We will spend a few days there before heading to New Orleans! We have a tentative route all the way to Phoenix – which is where we need to be by March 20 to see family. I’d LOVE your suggestions for places to visit or see in Mobile, Alabama and New Orleans, Louisiana. Leave a comment and let us know!

We had a wonderful trip to the Gulf Coast earlier this year. We’re from WA and it is not a typical vacation area. We got a lot of ‘oh…. do you know people there?’ when we mentioned the trip…. but it was wonderful. We went to Mobile and saw the USS Alabama, went to Moss Point, MS to a gator ranch, Gulfport, MS was right on the beach and lovely, we ate at a Diner’s DriveIns and Dives reviewed place my husband enjoyed as well, we went to NASA and the Infinity Science center near Picayune, MS and to a Swamp Tour in LA. New Orleans was the low part of the trip for the family (we went to the Old Mint, and the cathedral and walked too much). I am now a big fan of the deep south.
