Hello!! Happy Monday, and Happy Memorial Day. We’re definitely spending some time today being thankful to those who serve, and have served, to protect our country. The Pilot had a 4-day weekend, so we took a family trip to Jacksonville! I’ll be back tomorrow with a full recap + tons of pics, but in the meantime, I thought I’d pop in and share some ideas if you’re grilling and throwing summer parties.
I LOVE grilling season -our grill actually didn’t make the cut to travel across the country, so we need a new one- and it’s such an easy and healthy way to make dinner. The best part: very little cleanup. Something about veggies and meat on the grill let’s us all know that summer is officially here. We have some fun get-togethers planned over the next couple of months, and I’ve started to brainstorm and remember my favorite summer grilling and party recipes.
Here’s a little list if you’re looking for inspiration, too!

Gina! I love your blog SO much… but I still don’t get your regular blog posts in my email. Can we pretty pretty please get those back again. I’ve fallen behind on the posts b/c they aren’t there every day popping up reminding me: HELLO from Fitnessista Land! 🙂 I LOOOOVE your blog so much. It’s just I”m so busy and if it’s not in my Email inbox I just get so busy and forget. But when it’s in my inbox I open it up and read it EVERY SINGLE TIME! But for now….I’ll sit back and relax and ready through about the last 10-15 posts that I’ve missed. They are always so good! 🙂 Cindy xx

Have you ever made eggs on the grill? Omg SO GOOD. I discovered this the summer I learned how to grill, and then decided I was going to grill everything. Cast iron pan + eggs + whatever (I do a ton of veggies), delish!
Also, I love your recipe recap posts, thank you for this! Pinning for later
