The combination of grilled chicken, tangy BBQ sauce, and fresh pineapples, spiked with a shot of Pura Vida Reposado tequila, creates a flavor explosion that is both refreshing and deeply satisfying.

Ingredients for Hawaiian BBQ Tequila Grilled Chicken Salad

Here’s what you’ll need to bring this tropical salad to life:

For the Chicken:

3 Large Chicken Breasts
2 Bottles of Hawaiian BBQ Sauce
1/2 Cup Pura Vida Gold Tequila

For the Salad:

1 Can of Pineapples, drained (or fresh, if in season)
1 Head of Lettuce
1/2 Bag Fresh Spinach
2 Tomatoes

For the Pineapple Vinaigrette:

1 Cup Pineapple Juice
1/2 Cup Extra Light Olive Oil
1/2 Cup White Wine Vinegar
1/2 Tsp Sugar
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/4 Tsp Red Pepper
1 Garlic Clove, minced

Bringing the Hawaiian BBQ Tequila Grilled Chicken Salad to Life

Now that our ingredients are ready, let’s embark on the process of creating this tropical feast. The good news is, it’s simpler than you might think!

Start by poking holes into your chicken breasts. This allows the marinade to seep in, infusing the chicken with flavor.
Place the chicken breasts into a large Ziploc bag or bowl, add in the Hawaiian BBQ Sauce and Pura Vida Tequila. (If you’re cooking indoors, slice the breast into strips to maximize the marinade’s coverage).
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 8 hours, or overnight for a more intense flavor.
Combine all the salad ingredients in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all the vinaigrette ingredients until well blended. Chill this in the refrigerator.
Grill your pineapple, or sauté it in a skillet until they have grill marks.
Cut the pineapple into bite-size pieces.
Thoroughly cook your marinated chicken breasts.

And there you have it! A delightful Hawaiian BBQ Tequila Grilled Chicken Salad with Pineapple Vinaigrette, a delicious taste of summer that can be enjoyed year-round!

Why Pura Vida Reposado Tequila?

In this recipe, I have used Pura Vida Reposado Tequila, a triple-distilled spirit lightly “rested” in high-quality, American oak bourbon barrels. Its unique smoothness and rich complexity make it the perfect tequila for this recipe. But don’t let the smoothness fool you. Pura Vida Reposado is not lazy or lying down on the job. It enlivens any occasion with its superb taste and smoothness, making it the perfect tequila for those who appreciate a richer, more complex flavor.

Exploring the Hawaiian BBQ Tequila Grilled Chicken Salad & Pineapple Vinaigrette

When you think of a tropical escape, Hawaii often comes to mind. The sun, the surf, the vibrant flavors of the cuisine – it’s a tantalizing mix that’s hard to resist. The Hawaiian BBQ Tequila Grilled Chicken Salad with Pineapple Vinaigrette is a culinary journey to the heart of this tropical paradise. The star of this recipe is Pura Vida Reposado Tequila, a premium tequila known for its smoothness and complexity. But why stop at just the recipe? Let’s explore the art of pairing this salad with the perfect tropical cocktail, and delve into the fascinating world of tequila.

Perfect Pairings for Your Hawaiian BBQ Tequila Grilled Chicken Salad

What’s a tropical feast without a refreshing cocktail to wash it down? The fruity and tangy flavors of the salad pair beautifully with a classic Margarita, enhanced with a splash of Pura Vida Reposado Tequila. The citrus notes of the Margarita complement the pineapple vinaigrette, while the tequila echoes the marinade in the chicken.

For a non-alcoholic option, a fresh pineapple and lime juice blend or a tropical iced tea would be equally delightful. Remember, the key to a great pairing is balance – you want your drink to complement, not overpower, your meal.

Understanding the Role of Tequila in this Recipe

Tequila plays a crucial role in this Hawaiian BBQ Tequila Grilled Chicken Salad. Pura Vida Reposado Tequila, in particular, adds a unique depth of flavor to the marinade. The tequila’s oak and vanilla undertones infuse the chicken with a rich, smoky taste, perfectly complementing the sweet and tangy Hawaiian BBQ sauce.

The Art of Grilling Chicken

Grilling the chicken is a key step in this recipe. The high heat of the grill sears the outside of the chicken, locking in juices and creating a deliciously crispy exterior. The smoky flavors from the grill also enhance the tequila and BBQ marinade, adding complexity to the dish. If you don’t have access to a grill, a grill pan on the stove top is an excellent alternative.

Exploring the World of Pura Vida Tequila

Pura Vida Reposado Tequila is a premium spirit that’s perfect for sipping and mixing. It is made from 100% blue agave, grown in the rich volcanic soil of Jalisco, Mexico. The tequila is then aged in American oak barrels for a minimum of six months, resulting in a smooth, full-bodied spirit with notes of vanilla, oak, and honey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute another type of tequila?

While Pura Vida Reposado Tequila is recommended for this recipe due to its unique flavor profile, you can substitute with another type of reposado tequila. However, the flavor may vary slightly.

Can I make this recipe without alcohol?

Yes, you can substitute the tequila with pineapple juice or chicken broth. However, the tequila does add a unique flavor to the marinade, so the taste will be different.

How can I store leftover salad?

You can store leftover salad in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, it’s best to store the vinaigrette separately to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.

By now, you should be well-equipped to prepare and savor the Hawaiian BBQ Tequila Grilled Chicken Salad with Pineapple Vinaigrette. So, take a culinary trip to the tropics, and let the vibrant flavors of Hawaii and the smooth, rich Pura Vida Reposado Tequila whisk you away. Aloha!

Sending A Loved One To Care Home

ByMySparklingLife September 30, 2019September 16, 2023

The decision to send someone you love to a care home is never an easy one. However, for a lot of us it is something that we will have to deal with at some point in our lives, as our parents get older and are unable to look after themselves. In this guide, we will reveal everything that you need to know about choosing a care home, as well as looking into the option of live-in care.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CARE HOME FOR YOUR LOVED ONE
If you think a care home is right for someone you care about, be it a family member or a friend, you need to take the time to choose the nursing home with care. After all, this is always half of the battle. Ensuring someone is comfortable in the care home is imperative. So, let’s take a look at some of the important points you must consider…
Accreditation and qualifications – There is only one place to begin, and this is by making certain that the care home has the necessary accreditation and that they have qualified people working for them. This is especially the case if your loved one has specific medical needs. There is no excuse for not getting the qualifications required today, as courses can be carried out online – just look at this online MSN FNP program. You want to make sure that your friend or family member is in the best possible hands.
Entertainment and activities – If someone is going to be moving to a new place, you want to make sure that they are going to be happy and enjoy their new life. Because of this, it is definitely worth looking into the different entertainment options the home offers, as well as the activities that go on at the care home.
Read reviews – You also need to read reviews that have been left by people who live in the care home as well as their loved ones. This will give you a great insight into what the care home is really like. If you come across negative review after negative review, you know to look elsewhere. Don’t let one comment sway your judgement, though.
Accessibility, cost, and waiting list – Aside from the points that have already been mentioned, you need to look into the waiting list. If it is extensive, no matter how good the care home is, you may be better off looking elsewhere. You also need to find out about the cost so that you can make sure you can afford the care home. Moreover, accessibility is another critical element to think about. After all, you want to make sure that you and other family members are going to be able to visit your loved one.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED LIVE-IN CARE?
Live in care might not mean anything to you; it could be a phrase you’ve never come across before. But that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be of benefit to your loved one. Old age and illness are still taboos in our culture because they are frightening, and delving into the unknown unnerves us, but it is an important question nonetheless. So, let’s take a look at this option in further depth…
Would Care At Home Be Beneficial?
Once the question has been asked, the answer, although potentially unpleasant, will give you an insight into what to do next if you’ve never considered it before. If the answer is that your parent have to leave your own, comfortable home to live in a care home or nursing home, would they be happy to do that? For many people, the answer is no. And this is where private care at home becomes something important to consider. Care at home can be as little as a few hours a week, or it can involve individuals undertaking full time live in care jobs for you; it all depends on what your loved one needs. It is often beneficial for home care to be full time; this negates the need for any additional care, and it means that there is never any danger of a vulnerable person being left alone. Using at home care services means that those who need the care won’t have to leave the home they have worked all their life to maintain and pay for. They can stay where they are comfortable, in familiar surroundings, and still get the care they need, whatever their condition or requirements.
What Does A Live In Carer Do?
If live in care is something that sounds as though it could be the ideal solution for a family member or friend, what do you need to consider before signing up? Live in care for the elderly, or for someone who is unwell or immobile can differ from agency to agency. It is important to find out exactly what the live in carer you are hiring will do, and whether it is right for you, or the individual who will be receiving the care. Generally, carers are there to ensure the safety, comfort, and health (to some degree) of their client. This can be anything from washing and dressing, to cooking, housework, and giving medication as and when it is required. Since a private live in carer works on a strictly one to one basis with their charge, their attention is solely focused on them, and their time is guaranteed to be spent as their client wishes. This includes everything mentioned above, as well as taking the person shopping (or doing the shopping for them), escorting them to other events, helping with exercise, and even accompanying them on holiday. Having this sort of full time care is a wonderful way to keep your independence whilst still being looked after.
How Flexible Are Live In Carers?
Live in care is something that everyone might consider at one point in their lives. The beauty of this kind of exceptional one to one care is that it is as flexible as you need it to be. Live in carers will work to your schedule, giving their client the freedom to choose exactly how and when they are cared for (within the agreed care plan). Many people, for example, are happy and able to carry out this form of care, and looking after an elderly or infirm friend or relative is something they would rather do themselves. But, everyone deserves a break now and then. Everyone needs time off to recharge. Live in home carers can be hired on a short term basis, to give those who usually take on the role the chance to take a holiday, or to just go out for the day. Once a week, once a month, two weeks a year, whatever you need, a hired carer will be able to provide this much needed cover. Full time live in carers are also available at short notice, should the need arise, enabling regular carers time off for whatever reason it is needed.
Is 24-Hour Care At Home Expensive?
Many people feel that the idea of having 24-hour care at home is a wonderful one, enabling them to have freedom to still enjoy the comforts of their home and the flexibility to be as independent as possible. But along with that comes the worry of expense – is it going to cost a large amount of money? Is it going to necessitate selling their home to fund it? Are they going to be left bereft should the money run out? The good – and perhaps surprising – news is that a live in carer can actually cost much less than you may think and is comparable with the cost of moving into a nursing home. If the cost of home care is the only thing that is stopping you from enquiring further, don’t let it. It is always worth asking the question and discovering the cost for yourself rather than imagining what it could be.
As you can see, there is a lot that needs to be considered when it comes to figuring out what is going to be right for your loved one. If you need to send your loved one to a care home, use the advice that has been provided to narrow down your search and find the best solution. However, don’t ignore the option of live-in care, as this may be more beneficial for your situation.

Disney Pixar's New Inside Out Featurette ⋆ My Sparkling Life

ByMySparklingLife April 7, 2016October 11, 2023

With INSIDE OUT opening everywhere tomorrow lets take a sneak peak with a new INSIDE OUT Featurette!
Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside their head? Disney•Pixar’s original new film “Inside Out” ventures inside the mind to find out.
Based in Headquarters, the control center inside 11-year-old Riley’s mind, five Emotions are hard at work, led by lighthearted optimist Joy (voice of Amy Poehler), whose mission is to make sure Riley stays happy. Fear (voice of Bill Hader) heads up safety, Anger (voice of Lewis Black) ensures all is fair and Disgust (voice of Mindy Kaling) prevents Riley from getting poisoned—both physically and socially. Sadness (voice of Phyllis Smith) isn’t exactly sure what her role is, and frankly, neither is anyone else.
When Riley’s family relocates to a scary new city, the Emotions are on the job, eager to help guide her through the difficult transition. But when Joy and Sadness are inadvertently swept into the far reaches of Riley’s mind—taking some of her core memories with them—Fear, Anger and Disgust are left reluctantly in charge. Joy and Sadness must venture through unfamiliar places—Long Term Memory, Imagination Land, Abstract Thought and Dream Productions—in a desperate effort to get back to Headquarters, and Riley.

Kids Spring Fashion + 4 Packing Tips For Spring Break

ByMySparklingLife August 23, 2016October 6, 2023

Can you believe spring is here and Easter is just around the corner? I just love spring, the weather is warming up the flowers are blooming and there is color everywhere you look! When it comes to dressing for spring, I just love soft “spring” pastel colors in kids fashion. Now I know what you’re thinking…you have boys, where are you going to find pastel colors for them? Well, my friends OshKosh B’Gosh has been my go-to for years for budget friendly, on-trend, durable kids fashion, and guess what, they carry spring pastel fashion for boys!
When it comes to buying for my boys I love to buy mix and match fashions…something they can wear multiple ways. Especially since we have to travel to see family for spring break & to gather with family for Easter. Packing only a few pieces of clothing that will give them 3-4 days of wear is a big help when there are 6 of you.
We travel a lot since we moved down here from Austin…and over the past 5 years I’ve learned a thing or two about packing up my boys to visit family. Today I’m going to share a few packing tips with you.
Have the kids lend a hand: Don’t try to tackle everything on your own. Have your kids grab their underwear, socks, swimsuit and toiletries. This will leave you with tops and bottoms.
Pack mix and match fashions. Two bottoms and three shirts should give you 5-6 days of wear, that’s more than plenty for spring break. This will help save room in the suitcase…which in turn will save room in the trunk.
Let the kids pick 3-4 items to take to play with in the car & during quiet time. I usually let the kids pack a backpack with items to keep them busy. You can also try making busy bags, but my kids are much happier when they get to pick what they take, plus it’s one less thing you have to worry about doing.
Pack car friendly snacks. It doesn’t matter if they just had breakfast, chances are they will ask for a snack within 30 minutes of hitting the road. To keep from stopping every 30 min or having cranky kids pack a few mess free snack like dried fruits, nuts or granola bars.
Travel shouldn’t be stressful…play some road games like finding license plates or I spy, stop to stretch at least once…if longer than 4 hours I suggest twice. If your not in a hurry, stop and smell the flowers, take some pics…it is spring after all and you just bought some adorable clothes at OshKosh!
For my toddler’s Easter look, I paired the Plaid Button Down Shirt, Pique Polo, Slim Chinos & Slip On Shoes. I LOVE this look on him.

I tried Simply Straight first then passed it on to my friend and her two daughters to try. They all have much longer hair than I do and I wanted to see if it might work differently for them. We all had the same experience…The brush is easy to use and it does smooth your hair, but, it doesn’t get it as smooth and straight as if you were to use a straightener. We all agreed this would be nice for daily use with those rushed mornings but it wouldn’t be great for those times you are looking for a truly straight look. If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to straighten your hair Simply Straight would be perfect for you.

When a weekend with his parents (Harrison Ford and Kathy Baker) threatens to uncover the truth, Adaline makes a decision that will change her life forever.

Ifrogz Tadpole Mini Bluetooth Speaker Review

ByMySparklingLife March 13, 2015October 4, 2023

There are many bluetooth speakers out there, but how many have you seen that you can clip onto your belt loop, or key chain?! Ifrogs has this fun tiny bluetooth speaker that is small and mighty.
The iFrogz Tadpole is the ultra-small, super-portable solution to mobile music. It delivers big sound from a tiny package; and with its ability to clip onto keys, purses, belts, and more, the Tadpole brings the party where no other speaker has gone before. Its lithium-ion battery can power over two hours of continuous play and a simple micro-USB charging port makes recharging a snap. And with a variety of fresh colors to choose from, there’s a Tadpole that’s perfect for every style.
The Ifrogz Tadpole is less than three inches long, but packs a lot of punch! The volume can be adjusted through whatever device it’s connected to & comes in five fun colors: white, gray, red, blue, and purple.
This speaker is compatible with all Bluetooth 3.0 devices. I was really impressed with the range; we can leave the phone charging in the bedroom and be in another room in the house with the speaker working perfectly..no lagging. But that’s not all he uses it for! He also uses it as a hands free device in his truck…while he still has to answer the phone (usually just by a swipe) the whole conversation can take place with this tiny device hanging from his visor. As you can tell he has already taken over the Ifrogz Tadpole, so I guess I’ll just have to get myself one in purple!
At only $19.99, the ifrogz Tadpole Wireless Mini-Speaker would make a great gift for any music lover, perfect stocking stuffer!
