Hi there

Happy Friday! It's officially summer this weekend and it finally feels like it here in Wisconsin! Bring it on!

My mom just flew in from Arizona. She'll be here for the whole summer. I'm so excited to spend time with her!

She's never been to Door County, Wisconsin. I can't wait to show her around.

I can't tell you how excited I am for family dinners on the deck. I plan to make lots of her favorites this summer!

CHECK OUT THE RECIPE!

My mom loves lemon anything! She also loves grilled chicken. My Best Ever Lemon Chicken combines two of her favorites.

It really is THE BEST! In summer I do it in a foil pan on the grill. It's AMAZING. Got chicken? Just give it a try! It's so good!

CHECK OUT THE RECIPE!

It's still asparagus season! I picked up a bunch at the farmer's market this week. I love starting summer dinners with a big beautiful salad.

This Asparagus Salad with a homemade easy light dressing is so fresh and different. Great with bleu cheese, feta or even Parmesan cheese on top!

If you're looking for tips on how to store asparagus to make it last plus lots of recipes check out my blog Asparagus 101.

If you're grillin', why not keep it all outside. These Cheesy Bacon Potato Packets are the perfect summer side. They are so easy breezy and everybody loves them!

From burgers to steaks they go with whatever they are griilin'.

It's here! Strawberry season! I'm hoping I can go out and pick my own next week at a local strawberry farm. That's always so fun!

My Strawberry Shortcakes are a taste of summer! I love my shortcake on a freshly made biscuit but I have a short cut to make it easy! This recipe is so easy!

Piled high with fresh whipped cream. It's a summer favorite for sure!

I'm excited to celebrate my husband Hoyt on Father's Day! He's such a great Dad! This weekend I'm going to make all his favorites.
