Outdoor Grilling

YUM! Grilling is probably one of my most favorite ways to cook food. Most people think of grilling as something you do for just hotdogs and hamburgers, but they are for way more than that. Veggies, pizzas, fish, and more can be cooked and made on an outdoor grill. Plus clean up is far easier than when you have to cook everything indoors. Grilling has been around for quite sometime. The idea of cooking over an open flame is nothing new. I mean that is how people have cooked for centuries and...

Camp in Michigan

Michigan is a great state to camp in. You might not think of the northern state when the notion of camping first pops into your head, but there are plenty of good reasons to give it a second thought, or better, to go and experience Michigan’s beautiful campgrounds for yourself.

Not only can you save a bundle of money, but you’ll also have a lot more fun setting up your own home place in the wilderness, in a...

Just because you’re camping out doesn’t mean you have to subsist on trail mix and energy bars, or resort to munching down on edible twigs and bitter berries during your wilderness retreat. You can actually eat pretty well while camping out without having to lug a lot of extra groceries around with you (that might attract the unwanted attention of wild animals.)

These people would...
