Long days and warm weather means summer is finally here. As a Minnesotan, we are really good at making the most of our limited summer days. This summer may be a little different, with the local beaches and pools closed to the public, but we can still enjoy some of our favorite things at home with our families.
Backyard grilling has been a favorite activity across the states since the 1950s. So, fire it up and try some of those grilling recipes you've been dreaming about.

Grilling earns extra bonus points because it can be a healthier way to prepare your meats. This cooking method uses less oil and melts the fat from meat creating a leaner final product to devour. Grilling will save you time by not only cooking meats quicker, which allows nutrients and flavors to stay in tact, but you will also save plenty of time with the after dinner clean up!
