Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced, divided
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pound boneless pork loin, cut into 1 inch cubes
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can low-sodium beef broth
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 3 portobello mushrooms, cut into quarters
• 1 large red onion, peeled and cut into 12 wedges
• 12 cherry tomatoes
• 12 bite-sized chunks fresh pineapple

Directions

1. Mix together 3 tablespoons soy sauce, olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Add pork and turn to coat evenly. Cover the dish and refrigerate for 3 hours.
2. Combine broth, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar, remaining 2 cloves minced garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer sauce for 5 minutes. Set aside.

Many of us are already grilling for the summer, and while you might be thinking about steak, burgers, chicken and veggies, fruit is often forgotten as a grill favorite! Try out this BBQ Fruit Skewer recipe from Feel Good Foodie:

• Fruit: I used cantaloupe, strawberries, and pineapple for this recipe. But like I said earlier, you can really use any fruit you want!
• Maple syrup: This is optional, but I like to brush the fruit with a little bit of maple syrup before grilling. It helps the grill marks show up better and also adds a touch of sweetness to the fruit.

Prepare the Fruit

1. Cut your fruit into large chunks. Try and keep the piece uniform.
2. To make the fruit kabobs, thread pineapple, cantaloupe, and strawberry onto the skewer. Repeat the process to assemble as many skewers as you’d like to make.

Grill the Kabobs

1. Place the fruit skewers on the grill in a single layer.
2. Grill on each side. Look for grill marks and remove when browned and tender.

Mosquitoes are not just a nuisance, but a potential health risk due to the diseases they spread. Not only this, but the mosquitos appear to already be out of control here in Colorado this summer.

Despite the widespread availability of mosquito repellents based on chemicals, a growing number of individuals are looking for safer, more eco-friendly options. In this article, we'll discuss various mosquito-repelling strategies you can use at home to avoid getting bitten while spending time in the great outdoors.

Essential OilsNatural mosquito repellents made from essential oils extracted from different plants have been utilized for millennia. They efficiently prevent mosquitoes because they contain substances that the insects find unpleasant. Essential oils like citronella, eucalyptus, and geraniol are often used.

Citronella OilThe most well-known natural insect repellent is citronella oil. Mosquitoes won't be attracted to the pleasant odors that it covers up. Citronella oil has many different uses, including in aromatherapy, household cleaning, and even cosmetics when combined with a carrier oil.

Lemon Eucalyptus OilIt has been shown that PMD (p-menthane-3,8-diol), a chemical found in lemon eucalyptus oil, is just as efficient as DEET in repelling mosquitoes. Protect your skin by applying the oil after diluting it with a carrier oil.

Lavender OilThe mosquito-repelling properties of lavender oil are well-known, and the oil's lovely aroma is a bonus. It also helps with sleep and relaxation, which is a plus. Put sachets of dried lavender near your windows and doors, or rub diluted lavender oil on your skin.

Herbs and PlantsMosquitoes can be kept away from your garden and outdoor areas by using certain herbs and plants. You might want to add these plants to your garden:

• Marigolds are a great choice since their fragrant blooms keep insects at bay. Marigolds are an effective natural bug deterrent, so plant them in containers or all over your patio.
• Nepetalactone, a chemical found in catnip, is 10 times more effective than DEET at warding off mosquitoes. You can grow catnip in your garden or apply the crushed leaves topically.
• In  addition to its many uses in the kitchen, basil serves as a natural mosquito repellant. You can either put potted basil plants near open windows and doors, or rub crushed fresh basil leaves on your skin.

​
Mosquitoes can be effectively repelled without the use of potentially hazardous chemicals if you tap into the power of nature. To find the most effective mosquito repellent, try a variety of these natural oils, herbs, and home treatments.

​Home security has become an increasingly important concern for homeowners in recent years, and one of the best ways to ensure safety and peace of mind is through the use of home security cameras. With the advent of new technology and innovative features, home security cameras have evolved significantly over the years.

When choosing a home security camera, there are several factors that homeowners should consider to ensure that they get the best product for their needs. Some of the key factors to consider include:

Camera Type: There are different types of home security cameras available in the market, including indoor, outdoor, and doorbell cameras. Indoor cameras are designed for indoor use, while outdoor cameras are built to withstand harsh weather conditions. Doorbell cameras are typically used to monitor front door activity and can be connected to existing doorbell wiring. It is essential to choose the right type of camera that suits your specific needs.
 
Resolution and Video Quality: The resolution and video quality of a camera are crucial factors to consider. Higher resolution cameras can capture more details and produce clearer images and videos, making it easier to identify faces and objects. Look for cameras that offer at least 1080p resolution or higher.

Field of View and Coverage: The field of view and coverage of a camera determine how much area it can monitor. Wide-angle lenses offer a larger field of view, while cameras with adjustable coverage allow you to adjust the camera's view as needed.

Night Vision Capabilities: Cameras with infrared sensors and low-light performance are essential for monitoring activity at night or in low-light conditions. Look for cameras with night vision capabilities for optimal surveillance.

Connectivity Options: Home security cameras can connect to the internet through Wi-Fi or wired connections. Wireless cameras offer more flexibility and easier installation, while wired cameras are more reliable and secure.

Storage Options: Home security cameras can store footage on a cloud server or locally on an SD card or hard drive. Cloud storage offers easy access to footage from anywhere, while local storage ensures that your footage is stored securely and is not vulnerable to hacking.

Motion Detection and Alerts: Many home security cameras come with motion sensors that trigger notifications and alerts when motion is detected. Look for cameras with customizable sensitivity settings to avoid false alarms.

Two-Way Audio and Communication Features: Cameras with built-in microphones and speakers allow for interactive communication between the homeowner and visitors or intruders. This feature can be useful for remote communication or deterring potential intruders.

Integration with Smart Home Systems: Some home security cameras can integrate with existing smart home devices and platforms, such as Alexa or Google Assistant. This integration can allow for voice commands or automation and can enhance the overall home security system.

Ring still has the best overall camera
There’s a reason that most homes you visit with doorbell cameras have a Ring camera. They were one of the first in the market, and remain one of the highest-quality, most reliable cameras on the market. The installation of a Ring camera is very easy, whether you choose indoor or outdoor models.

Ring cameras are perfect for Colorado as well, since the outdoor cameras are rated for all types of weather, from rain to snow.

SimpliCam is the best affordable camera
It’s not the highest quality camera out there, but it gets the job done and is very affordable. Not only is the Simplicam easy to install yourself, but the app is very easy to use. SimpliSafe offers three different cameras for indoor and outdoor use and a doorbell camera.

ADT is the best full-home security
While an ADT Home Security system is a little more pricey than other options, it does offer the best full home security including two-way audio, high resolution and motion detection, and integrated system. An ADT system of cameras is probably best if you have a larger home or property that you need to have surveillance for, or other detached buildings such as storage sheds, barns, or garages.

​Check out some great spring cleaning tips below!

1. Clean your Refrigerator! When was the last time you sprayed and wiped down your fridge?
2. Keep your storage spaces organized. Go through each item, and make 3 piles: Keep, Donate, and Toss!
3. Spray the windows and dust the blinds. The window cracks may have built-up mold, and your blinds are likely very dusty!
4. Steam clean the Microwave. Use one cup of water and a lemon, lime, or orange cut into thin slices, and turn on the microwave for at least a couple minutes to steam clean it!

We hope you enjoy these tips!

In Colorado, summer time means warm weather, fishing, boating, hiking, pools, and of course grilling! Here are some tips to make sure your grill is ready for the summer:

1. Be sure to clean your grill after every use. It’s much easier to clean your grill right after the food comes off, so scrub the plates using a metal brush, wash them, and clean any removable trays for catching char and grease.
2. Wash the burner protectors and wipe the burners. Regular cleaning of the burners and protectors ensures that bacteria doesn’t build up on food particles that fall down into the burners.
3. Check your propane levels. Nothing kills a barbeque like an empty propane tank. Some tanks allow you to use a gauge to measure, but you might also be able to feel when the tank gets cold at the propane level.
4. Coat your grill surface with cooking oil or spray. This can keep food from sticking to the grill and becoming a mess that is much more difficult to clean.

One thing that many homeowners overlook is cleaning external AC units to ensure the vents remain clear of debris and function at high efficiency. Many Colorado homes will have leaves, allergens, dirt, or debris that build up around the unit.

A dirty or obstructed air conditioner can cause the air flow to not work properly, which affects the efficiency of your air conditioner. If the condenser fan is obstructed or blocked, it takes longer for the air conditioner to discharge heat, and as a result it takes much longer to cool your home and will waste energy and money.

With obvious debris like leaves and branches, you may be able to clean this yourself, but for internal cleaning of the motor, fans, and coils you will want to call in a professional. For great AC service in Fort Collins, call Tri City Heating & Air Conditioning.
