Spring 2013

           I am so sorry that I haven't been posting  on my blog that much lately. School just ended and I have been trying to get into the summer life mood. During school I was really busy which prevented me from posting on my blog. Thank you for your patience and still wanting to follow my blog. I really appreciate it.
          The State of Minnesota has had a very wet spring. Almost every day we have had at least a small sprinkle of rain or a slight shower. The ground in Minnesota is very wet. Many people and farmers have been effected by this very wet spring. Our CSA farmer has his season delayed about 5 weeks because the ground is so wet. All of the rain has been flooding his land. Most of the vegetables he his growing today are in the green house or in a plant tunnel. The rain has helped our own family's prairie garden start to grow and get full. The good thing is that last year at this time we were in a very severe drought. Tons of rain is better than being in a severe drought for half of the summer. With the drought almost all 10,000 lakes that are in Minnesota were reaching record low water levels. The rain has helped replenish those lakes to where they are as full as can be.
          This summer I am hoping to post more frequently on my blog. I want to post more about the meals our family makes and good healthy summer recipes that you can try. I want to post more grilling recipes - focusing on a variety of meat options. I have become a really good griller. A lot of times people will ask me "What is your favorite meat to grill"? I like to grill a variety of meat. I like to use a different rub or marinade depending on what type of meat I am grilling

. I have even considered entering different grilling contests. If I  do you will definitely see a post on my blog about the contest and my experience.
