Who we are...

Tommy Dylan and Brook Taylor have been co-hosting mornings together for more than three years. Combined, they have more than 20 years of morning show experience. Their desire is to encourage others to encourage others.

One of the ways Tommy and Brook do this, is by encouraging you to "Think Outside Yourself"...TOY. Have you ever considered paying for the person behind you in line at the drive-through? You can make someone's day! There are many more ways you can TOY to encourage others. Can you imagine how West Michigan could change if we all did that?

Above all, your voice is heard and you direct their show. Do you have a thought or comment? Even a prayer request. Feel free to get in touch with Tommy and Brook today.  They are just experiencing life with you as a community bonded together with similar experiences creating many memorable moments.

Making Vanilla Extract

Our family makes this from time to time to give as Christmas gifts. But you have to start EARLY! Here are two different recipes. Pick your preference and get going on it this weekend!!


Home-Made Vanilla Extract

2 cup vodka
5 vanilla beans

Slice vanilla beans in half both ways and scrape down seeds. Combine vodka and vanilla beans in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. The vodka mixture will turn an amber color after a couple days. Let stand 6-8 weeks, but shake the jar every couple weeks just to distribute the vanilla bean flavor. When it is done, put in small jars and give out as Christmas gifts.


This one is alcohol-free!

2 vanilla beans
12 oz glycerin
4 oz warm water

Slit bean down middle and scrape downs seeds. Place both in glycerin and warm water. (softens pod) Place in dark place. Let sit for a month or so. Shake often.


Here's how to process the beans...

It was great to see you at the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. It was an amazing event and had more participants and raised more money than last year. See if we caught someone you know crossing the finish line...
