Hello!

Hello! My name is Marie Canaday, and I was invited by Kate to be a contributor to the blog. I now live in Northern Utah, although she and I grew up together as good friends. I am married and am currently working full time as a retail manager. On the side I love sports, hiking, gardening, and BBQ!! I just got a new grill so I've been happily trying out new recipes and will definitely post some of those that turn out well! I'm also hoping to plant a good sized garden this Spring with both fruits and vegetables - last year I planted tomatoes and strawberries and was surprised at how well they grew in this dry, arid weather. If anyone with a green thumb has gardening tips they are well accepted, throughout the season I will also try and post tips and tricks that I find out along the way!!
