I am doing my happy dance. Seriously I am. It is finally warm here in SW Ohio. I can get outdoors and work in my yard and garden.

April was so cold that I had no interest being outside. This spring was horrible. But finally, finally, it has warmed up.

For years I have grown a garden but since we moved into our new home, five years ago, I just didn’t have a good spot to place it. I also had more pressing outdoor jobs that needed to be completed.

I have a corner of my yard that I never cleaned out the brush and weeds. It is where I kept my woodpile and I just let it go. So, I decided to clean out the honeysuckle and turn this into the spot for my garden boxes I built this winter.

I love these boxes and will post the tutorial soon. I don’t need a big garden, basically it is a salsa garden with lots of herbs, tomatoes, and peppers. I can’t wait to incorporate these vegetables into my recipes.

I came up with this Grilled Chipotle Beer and Shrimp Tacos with avocado and rice for a healthy lunch while working on my landscaping and garden. The tacos are bursting with flavor and so easy to make on the grill using a foil pack. If you want to make the Shrimp Tacos healthier, skip the tortilla and make it a rice bowl.

The avocado is the perfect compliment to the smokey spicy chipotle shrimp. Get outdoors and enjoy the warm weather.
