There is something truly fun about living in the midwest – when the seasons start to change, the weather releases the last bit of over night frost and SUMMER has arrived!

Mexi Turkey Burger
We’ve had a busy summer so far – between ending the school year with soccer fun every weekend, planning for the upcoming wedding, group birthdays and traveling for the holidays, we haven’t had a lot of down time.

Smoked Rib & Baked Bean Quesadilla
I can only take credit for a portion of this recipe – and that portion is combining everything together.
