Welcome to my Back Yard!
Not limited to your literal back yard, "backyard" here means anywhere you can roam under the sun. Your backyard is limitless.
Stay home or go camping. Cook at the local park, a National Park, or a Walmart parking lot. Whatever makes you happy. The point is, get outside, eat outside and enjoy!

Grilled Marinaded Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
The chimichurri sauce is a little different spin on steak than what I normally do, so that makes it fun.
