It’s officially summer y’all and we couldn’t be more excited! When we think about summer we think of sunny days, cool drinks, and our kiddos and grand-kiddos playing outside. As much as we enjoy heading to the beach or pool, one of our favorite spots to hang with family and friends is right in the backyard. There's so much fun stuff to do, just steps away from home. So this summer why not discover the adventure in your own backyard? GROW Now that the kids are out of school and have a lot more free time, it’s good to find activities to keep them busy (and away from those pesky screens). Our Sunny Side UP gardens are the...

November is already half-way done, can you believe it? That means Christmas will be right around the corner and for us, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. We love the holidays, spending time with the family, cooking our favorite holiday dishes, and shopping for fun gifts to give. One of our favorite things to make and gift during the holiday season are spiced nuts. They not only taste great, but the aroma of them cooking fills your home with that warm, yummy holiday smell. Oh and did we mention they’re incredibly easy to make? We have a variety of sweet, savory, and spicy options like Cinnamon Glazed, Spiced Rosemary & Sea Salt, and Orange Spiced Chipotle. All...
It’s Fall y’all, and we couldn’t be happier! We love the crisp morning air, the leaves changing colors, picking apples, watching football, and most of all–celebrating National Chili Month!

And you’re just in luck because we have a super yummy, award-winning Black Bean Chili Recipe to share with you. No more standing by the stove, stirring and simmering for hours. We’ve got dinner tonight covered in under 30 minutes! So sit back and enjoy more time at the family dinner table, watch the end of that football game you always tend...
