Toast to the New School Year with @prairieorganic Spirits!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Believe it or not...but it is nearing the end of summer break. Whether your children started school already like mine or they start after Labor Day like many children, you have cause to celebrate! Not only is Labor Day here but there will be so much less fighting in the house now that school is back! :)

This weekend, I will be raising a toast to the school year with Prairie Organic Spirits. They are my new favorite brand to mix drinks with - not only are they organic but they taste great in almost every mixed drink!

Prairie is made with respect from seed to glass. My favorite part - they are made right here in my home state of MINNESOTA! I love supporting local companies, especially when they work so hard to provide quality, organic products!

This attention to detail is a big reason why they make Prairie Organic Vodka the way they do. They take the time to handcraft its naturally smooth taste, so you can take the time to enjoy drinking it. Prairie’s single vintage organic corn is distilled to taste, not a prescribed number of times. That’s because climate, soil, and moisture levels give each small batch its own unique character. Preserving that character takes personal attention, giving these spirits an award-winning taste that can stand on its own.

They recently introduced their new Prairie Organic Gin, an enjoyable herbal blend made with time and care. With a hint of juniper and a delicate finish, this is gin that’s light, refreshing and everything you want from organic.

Want to enjoy that summer fresh taste all year long? Then try the new Prairie Cucumber-Flavored Organic Vodka, a light flavor that’s crisp and garden-fresh. It delivers an invigorating finish that truly pays homage to its roots.

And make sure to try this refreshing drink recipe to celebrate the end of summer and say HELLO fall!

Let @stubbsbbqsauce Help You Celebrate Labor Day! #Giveaway

There is nothing I like more than a good BBQ sauce! We LOVE BBQ chicken sandwiches, BBQ Chicken on the grill, and BBQ little weenies for football season!

All of these are so great for your upcoming Labor Day celebrations, last days of grilling and football season!!

Looking for a delicious BBQ sauce without all the artificial junk? Let me recommend our favorite as of late - Stubb’s Legendary Bar-B-Q Sauce from the legend himself, Rocky Stubblefield!

Stubb’s Legendary Bar-B-Q all started in 1968 when C.B. Stubblefield, “Stubb,” started his first restaurant in Lubbock, Texas. Over the course of his life, Stubb perfected the art of barbecue, including making the sauces, marinades and rubs that today bring legendary Texas flavor to homes everywhere.

Stubb prided himself on making the best barbecue around, and he knew that the only way to do that was to use nothing but quality ingredients. That’s why Stubb’s line of sauces, marinades and rubs are made right with quality, gluten free ingredients, and contain no high fructose corn syrup.

Stubb’s spice rubs are the first step to great barbecue. Become a pitmaster in your own right by always starting with a good rub.

As I mentioned, we LOVE Barbecue anything in our house! But the must-have is a really good BBQ sauce without high fructose corn syrup, artificial ingredients or any other icky ingredient! Stubb's has all that and more with their Sauces PLUS Spice Rub and Chicken Marinade!

We tried the Spice Rub on our homemade hamburgers the other day and they were the best hamburgers we have ever had! Everyone was wondering what I did different this time around - and I replied with STUBB'S!

If you are looking for an easy but delicious meal for this Labor Day weekend or upcoming football party, add Stubb's to any meat, put in the crockpot, grill or pan and you will have a delicious meal!
