Happy Monday everyone! I took last week off from posting my menu, since it was a holiday...hopefully you all had a wonderful 4th of July :) We had planned to grill some steaks, but the weather didn't cooperate...it rained quite a bit in the afternoon...so I cooked them on the stove instead and then we watched fireworks on TV. We've really been enjoying our grill over the past couple of Continue Reading
