Learn how to make three quick and easy grilling recipes for a fun backyard bbq! These recipes are super simple to whip together and family friendly! #sponsored
This past weekend we decided to have a little campout in our backyard. We grilled. We read books in our makeshift little fort tent. And, we made homemade ice cream.
I was excited to partner with Clover Sonoma for some tasty grilled recipes because they have been my favorite dairy brand since I first discovered them in my CSA box (a subscription box of community sourced agriculture).
They are a third generation family-owned dairy based in northern California and they work with 30 family farms in their area to bring us delicious and quality dairy. While yes, they won me over with milk and butter, the more I learned about how they do business and what’s important to them, I truly fell in love with their brand.
Clover Sonoma is celebrating 20 years of being American Humane Certified and they were the first in the U.S. to be certified because of their rigorous animal welfare standards. They also give at least 5% of their annual profit to support charitable organizations that elevate dairy and support the community.
So, I set out to make some summery recipes with some of my favorite dairy products and the results are delicious.
