What a great way to present this information! I can never remember what temperature to cook meats to, so I’m going to print this and put it on the front of the fridge so I can refer to it when using the grill.

These are great tips in a handy form. I am craving watermelon now that you’ve mentioned it! I still haven’t had any yet this year! Stopping by from Motivation Monday. Hope you have a great week!
Watermelon is one of my favorite things about summer! I hope you get some soon. 🙂
