Summer is in full swing here. It's been in the high 80's/low 90's for over a week, which is really warm for Michigan in June. I've been soaking up all the sun I can and loving how late it stays light out. That's a food bloggers dream to have so many hours of daylight, but I also love it because it means more time for the kids and I to spend outdoors. We've been spending a lot of time out on the deck and I've been grilling a lot of our meals lately. This Grilled Peach BBQ Chicken is made with a simple homemade peach barbecue sauce that's so flavorful and delicious. I'm also using ingredients in this recipe that supports one of my favorite campaigns, so please read on to learn more!

Not only is fall my favorite season, but it also happens to be the busiest time of the year for my family. Between school and sports, it seems like we are always on the go or in a rush.  I still cook dinner for my family most nights, which means I need to create meals with real flavor, real fast, and make sure it's something my family will enjoy.  I've come to rely on using Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork to create quick and delicious meals because it's so versatile and can be cooked in a variety of ways.

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Sandwiches {Meat Month}

I'm a huge fan of my slow cooker. I'm sure you already know that from all the slow cooker recipes I post! I just can't help myself. It saves SO much time in the kitchen, especially on busy weeknights.

I use my slow cooker all year round. It's great in the summer when you don't want to turn your oven on and heat up the entire kitchen. But I do tend to use it more in the fall and winter. I love making things like stew, chili and roast during the colder months.



BBQ Chicken Pizza {Meat Month}

We are a pizza loving family for sure. I love making pizza at home for many reasons. 

I love the smell of the rising dough. 

I love that my kids can help with layering the toppings. 

I love that it's cheaper than store bought or delivery!

Just a couple of weeks ago I shared my recipe for Chicken Alfredo Pizza. Another one of our favorites is this BBQ Chicken Pizza. This time I followed the Pioneer Woman's recipe for basic pizza crust, however, I used bread flour instead of all purpose flour. Honestly I like the dough better with the bread flour. It makes the crust light and fluffy. But you can use whichever one you prefer or what you have on hand. I've used AP flour a zillion times and it still comes out amazing!
