My purpose

Dinner time in our family has always been an important time for all five us to sit together an unwind with some great food and wonderful company. Since the start of our relationship Chad and I have always enjoyed spending time together in the kitchen. Chad has a great passion and talent for food, and he has definitely passed on his love of cooking to me. Some of my favorite memories are around the table. For the next year our challenge is to write on here each night about our dinner experiences, and of course the recipes. When the year is all said and done our hope is to turn the blog into a keepsake book for each one of our children. I hope they always remember the importance of eating dinner as a family.

Summer Grillin

Menu

Grilled Brats, potato salad & grilled zucchini and squash


We strive really hard to have dinner every night as a family, occasionally life gets in the way and that doesn't always happen. Tonight we had planned a great backyard BBQ, where the kids could run around splash in the pool and sit around the fire pit roasting marshmallows after supper. Sounds awesome, right? Well unfortunately poor Jaxson came down with an ear infection today so our plans quickly changed. Jaxson was very irritable around supper time so I spent my evening cuddling with Jaxson till he fell asleep. For the second night in a row Chad prepared the entire meal, Yum!


The Recipe

Grill your choice of brats on a gas grill 15-20 minutes until cooked.
