I am not sure what the weather is like where you live - we are under a heat advisory - or at least we have been, not sure right now... I just know I don't go outside that often because it IS SO HOT and MY SKIN IS SO FAIR.  I do know that grilling season is really all year around here, as it doesn't get THAT cold that often. But, grilling outside or cooking inside, we know we want our food to taste great.  That being said, let me introduce you to Hi Mountain Seasonings!!!!!

You know how you have those people in your life that are just so hard to buy for?  Like, there is NOTHING that they "NEED" because as soon as they need or want something, they go ahead and buy it.  Yeah... those people...  My mom and dad are two of them, that is 100 % for sure... another is my friend Scott.  You see, he is very laid back and never really wants or needs anything.. the times when he might "like" something, my friend Shanda (his wife) gets it for him, or he gets it himself.  He had a birthday recently and no one knew what to get him... He is so quiet and to himself, but I know how much he likes grilling/ cooking... That being said, I thought the Casa M Spice set would be perfect for him!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or repreenting PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

Trying to figure out Fathers Day gifts is one of the hardest things to have to do!  At least in our house, if daddy needs or wants something, he doesn't have the patience to wait for it... and it is so rare that he needs or wants anything, that it is normally bought right then.  So by the time Fathers Day is here... Gift ideas have gone out the window!   UNTIL THIS YEAR!!!!   Remember that Marc is from Louisiana  - when Swamp People first came out, he had to watch it whenever it was on... even if it was a repeat... His work schedule has him gone so much now, so at least I can "bring the swamp" to him!  If you have not heard yet - - - Swamp People now has a "sauce" line now that is sur...

Talk about an awesome Mothers Day or Fathers Day gift...  Yep, I have one for you right here :  The George Foreman Grill.   Marc and I had been talking about getting one for quite some time, but was not really sure what one we wanted to get...  My brother has had one for years now and he was proud to discuss how much he enjoyed it, so I knew it was going to be a great decision. Luckily for us, we were sent a George Foreman 4 Serving Removable Plate Grill for review. No lie, I was so excited to try it out that I went to the store and bought hamburgers for us to check it out...  It was super fast in heating up and next thing you knew, it was time to start grilling!!!! One thing...

Well, rain when we are in town and Marc is home from work that is!   We were sent a great little gift pack full of Red Gold products, but we have yet to review them...  Although, they are sitting on the counter, calling my name ... EVERY DAY!!! "Noelle, is it time?! "   Yes... it is, but no cooperation from the weather... (That will be changing soon, I hope!) Now, I will tell you that I have never had Red Gold Tomatoes before, but after seeing the different flavors that they have... I am ready to try them all out!!! Not to mention, the cans have amazing sounding recipes on the back!!! (Check out their recipes online, they...

Welcome to Wednesday!!!! So, you know how we bought our first house?  One thing... We have been SO EXCITED that we would now be able to grill!!!! Only problem... No grill...  That was, until my brother graduated college... Long story short...  My dad (AVID GRILL MASTER!)  had a grill for ages...  that he gave to my brother when he got his first apartment...  now, my brother just gave it to us...  (he will be getting a new one as a graduation present.)    We were thrilled to go and get it...  We drove to get it... loaded it up... and by the time we got home...  The rust had blown off (thanks to riding in the back of a truck)  and we noticed the huge holes left all over the grill...  hey, this is a grill that has been LOVED for years and years...  My husband decided that he would repair it for the time being.... By buying a grill grate to fit into the grill :) Gotta Love it!!!! ...

If you stopped over on Wednesday, you know that my dad loves to grill. I would say that we love it, but living in an apartment, we just do not grill. We can not have a grill on our porch, so grilling out is a treat when we visit my family. A bit ago, we went to visit and I took a couple different Char Crust Dry Rub Seasonings for us to check out. We were having steak and I decided to add a bit of flavor to them. While we were enjoying our dinner, we did notice that we could not really tell that there was any extra flavor to it... So, when we went to a friends house to grill burgers, I brought along the Char Crust again... This time,  we added even MORE to see if it was a light hint or what the deal was...   Once again, none of us could taste anything, but every single one of us noticed how juicy the burgers were!  At that point, I decided that they were not "flavor boosters" but for sure were great at sealing in the juices.. Actually, we all decided on that...

My dad LOVES to grill..  I mean, LOVES LOVES LOVES to!  Yes, there have been times when he has grilled in the rain, he loves it that much. Another love?   Corn.  Grilled Corn. So, I wanted to share my dads grilled corn recipe with you: First up: Get your ears ready, then place them on a piece of tin foil.     Next, add a pad of butter.   Sprinkle just a bit of sugar on there.   Roll and Fold it so that the butter stays in...  Place them on the grill.  Discuss grilling with your son... (You know, you have to pass along the love.)  Corn and Steaks nice and ready to cook.  Once they are finished (dad says wait till the tin foil starts to get a little dark and that means they are ready!) take the tin foil off and enjoy!!!! Does your house enjoy corn as much as we do? Have you ever had grilled corn? Broxton will go to town on this too!
