Here in Canada we are just wrapping up what is known as the Victoria Day Weekend which is traditionally a kick-off to summer. It is also called the May 2-4 weekend. Historically it was created to celebrate and remember Queen Victoria's birthday.
I live in Muskoka, which is cottage country and one of Canada's most sought after vacation destinations. We are surrounded by lakes and forests, only an hour from either Algonquin Park and Georgian Bay, 2 other local world renowned adventure and holiday destinations.
Holidays seem to go hand in hand with adventures like camping and hiking for many people. Our lakes are very busy in the summer with paddlers, skiers and sailing enthusiasts and one of the favourite dinners here in cottage country is the hamburger, usually accompanied by corn on the cob and a salad and often followed by pie and ice cream. When made at home these family dinners can be a wonderful treat, but dinners such as this can be a slippery slope to obesity, heart disease, high cholesterol, etc. if not balanced through the week with lighter fare. Don't set your family up for obesity. Make dinners like this a special treat.
Enjoy this video. I did.
