Sorry, I’ve been MIA for a bit it’s been a little crazy! Not crazy like normal life stuff. It’s crazy weather and tech stuff. For the last two weeks, we have been under threat of either severe thunderstorms, flooding or tornadoes watches. It’s been fun! Especially when living in a camper. Thank goodness the only issues we’ve had is lost of power and internet. However, this is very inconvenient when your work depends on the power and an internet connection. But, no more complaining and making excuses. However, I’ll be honest I’ve never been more ready for summer, and I hate Summer.

Speaking of summer the official start of summer is just around the corner, Memorial Day. Summer means the kids will be out of school and afternoons will be spent by the pool and grill. It also means that you will be getting invitations to barbecues, and no one wants to show up empty handed. I’ve collected a few of my favorite recipes to make or bring to a summer barbecue.

Have fun!
