Labor Day Weekend is here and why do we feel like we will be working our hardest this weekend…Anywho, that won’t stop us from pulling out the grill, folding some chopped onions into ground beef and cooking until just right;-) Of course there are some things going on in case you don’t want to do the grill thing and want to be waited on hand and foot. Check it:
