For the last couple weeks I’ve been listening to my Northwest friends complain about the rain in Oregon and Washington and the fact that it is June. After this weekend, I completely understand what they mean. Here in Colorado we had the sunniest, warmest Memorial Day weekend in years and it has been hot and sunny since. Up until Friday, that is.
The rain started Friday afternoon and kept falling, and falling, and falling through Sunday afternoon. That kind of rain feels a lot more like Oregon weather than Fort Collins weather. It was actually fun to have… Read More

Warm temperatures, sunny skies and long hours of daylight all add up to me maximizing my time outside. I avoid cooking indoors as much as I can during warm weather.

For our first major outdoor meal of the season, we slow cooked beer can chicken, ribs and a favorite side dish of mine, grilled stuffed chilies.… Read More
