On Tuesdays we FEAST! KOLO Cooks is one of the most talked about segments on our show and we love that @markesteechef brings his culinary skills and heart for teaching to this segment on the last Tuesday of every month! Since he started sponsoring this segment in January, I’ve learned what Fish en Papillote is, how to make a BĆ©chamel sauce, and just how many amazing restaurants are under the Reno Local Food Group umbrella using a variety of locally sourced vendors. • Today I was introduced to the Croque Madame which will be on the Mother’s Day Brunch menu at @overlandgville . Doors open at 9am for this special occasion but be sure to make a reservation. See you next month, Mark! • #cookingshow #localnews #todaywefeast #renonv #chefsofinstagram

This woman is a BADASS! No wonder all our kids are as well! Kimberly is finishing her last class to earn her MBA (more on that later) and last night she celebrated all the National Honor Society inductees at SLHS. The ceremony was more than I could have dreamed of: The four pillars of Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Character were on full display! You embody it all babe! Wow! I was speechless and all the kids and parents showed up big time! So proud of you and all do not to mention taking care of me and the family !! Love you the most ! #NHS #SLHS
