Now that we are so close to our adult/married kids, they can text and say, "Hey, are you using the smoker today? Can we come throw meat on?"

 

Yesterday, Matt, the littles, and I came home from our outing at the Splash Park and there was Justus, doing his culinary thing in our backyard at our smoker. It made me so happy knowing that this is possible!

 

The heat is ridiculous this week, and I'm assuming that's the case for many of you. If you have a grill or a smoker, look over these recipes to avoid heating up your kitchen. (You know, because standing over a grill in the 100+ degree heat is extra fun. Meh, the food tastes great and then you can have a popsicle.)
