Memorial Day means it's finally summer!!!!! I know we moved back to N.E. Ohio because we missed the snow. Guess what, we love Summer too. There are just so many things to love about the season. Top of my list has to be the garden and grilling. What is better than garden-to-table food?? And, if I can fire up the grill, I'm one happy girl. . . Yes, women can grill!!! I find grilling to be more relaxing now than ever before! We get everything ready, pour ourselves some wine, get Alexa to shuffle our playlist and blast some music, and start the charcoal grill, which poses a fun challenge in controlling the heat. This is exactly what we'll be doing this Memorial Day.
Also, we can't forget about how much our dogs love summer. Well, Oliver, didn't! He used to lay in the snow in the winter until we made him come in and never really liked the heat (See Below). We love setting up their swimming pool and watching them enjoy the fun. I know they need a bigger pool!!!
Memorial Day kicks off the start of summer and we wanted to share some of our favorite summer recipes. Some of these dishes were passed down from my Grandma, but we have modified them to make them more diet-friendly. Yes, her original recipes were not exactly healthy, Haha!
