Backyard parties and beach days!
That’s what I’m planning for my summer. Thankfully things have gotten better since last year, though I for one still feel like I need to take extra care on some daily tasks. Hand sanitizer is now one of my best friends lol. Getting together with friends and having kids be kids again is a welcome relief, and returning to some sort of normal is a good feeling. I can’t wait to continue grilling this summer along with some meat smoking adventures, it’s a labor of love but well worth it after it’s done.
Stay safe friends and thanks as always for being a part of my Foodness Gracious family!
