Grilled Focaccia

baking· Grilling· Recipes· summer

Summertime is grill time! The Grill Master is my designated title, and I wear it proudly! Whether it be steak, chicken, seafood, ham, or veggies, it has met it’s delicious demise on my stainless steel grill! But I’ve never attempted grilling bread. Yes, I said bread. I know it can be done but I’ve never attempted it, nor known anyone to try it. When it comes to truth or dare, I’ve always been a “dare” kind of girl. So I dared myself.

gardening

Spring has arrived here in southeast Virginia! Warmer temperatures and no threat of frost informs the gardener that the time to plant is now! Time to plant the bananas! Yes, I said bananas. I bet you didn't realize you could grow bananas in states other than the deep south! We started growing banana trees 3 years ago and I'm addicted! It's so easy! I like to prepare the soil for planting by giving it a light tilling. This tilling tool attaches right to the weed wacker! How cool is ... Read More about Spring Planting: Banana Trees
