Every year August takes me by surprise. Here in Minnesota it’s usually sunny, hot, and the produce is ready to be pulled out of gardens. Yet, we all want to spend the absolute maximum time playing outside, soaking up the summer sun and cooling ourselves in the shimmering lakes, before it inevitably turns cold again. No one wants to be spending time in the kitchen if they can help it. That’s why I always say “August is for Grilling”…
It’s FOURTH OF JULY WEEK so I thought you may all like this blast from the past that you can very easily throw on your grill and impress your family members. Plus the extra chimichurri is perfect for steak, shrimp, chicken, vegetables, you name it. Enjoy!

Summer is here and I just can’t stay away from the grill. Seems like now that the weather is warm, everything needs grill marks, and everything needs to be eaten outside. Am I right? We are lucky enough to partner with Queen Creek Olive Mill, and in my mail a few weeks ago was a bottle of their amazing Fresh Crush Jalapeño Olive Oil. I was having a hard time narrowing down the million ideas I came up with to use this oil, but I finally settled on these Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Jalapeño Chimichurri. Quick, easy and delicious. Try them for yourself! Or better yet, make them for a friend-they will thank you!

Ready for another cabin story? Well, sorry to disappoint. The only story here is that I was hungry (Well, I guess technically I WAS at the cabin). Hungry for a burger. A home grilled, oozy, gooey, flavorful burger. A BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. And I wasn’t going to stop until I got it. …
