Blog readers behold… my husband! He truly exists beyond the internet. My husband Ty isn’t what you’d call a “blogger husband.” He really prefers to support me behind the scenes and doesn’t want much camera time which is a shame because he’s quite entertaining and handsome! We love spending time together in our new home we just finished building and moved into. We moved in at the perfect time, and with all this beautiful weather we are able to enjoy one of our favorite parts of the house which is the outdoor area.

Our new backyard backs up to a large green space and with all the energy that comes with owning a GSP (German Shorthaired Pointer) we need all the activity and exercise she can handle! We love getting out and being active with her. The best part about having the park in our backyard is that our fridge is close by, so we can enjoy a nice cold Michelob ULTRA® after!

In just the short few months we’ve been living in our new neighborhood, we’ve made so many new friends. There are tons of parks, trails, and outdoor activities to explore all over the community, so we love planning weekends filled with friends, fitness and of course — a little fun.

Fun comes in a bottle! Michelob ULTRA is the Superior Light Beer® with 2.6 carbs and 95 calories per bottle which makes it perfect for a post-park refreshment.

Since this beer boasts so much flavor and effervescence it’s really fun to incorporate into recipes. I like to shop at my favorite Kroger store for all my recipe ingredients but you can purchase Michelob ULTRA at your favorite supermarket and many other locations too.

Today I’ll take you through how to make a light version of beer battered onion rings. We’ll be using Michelob ULTRA® Pure Gold and an air fryer to flavor these onion rings for our build your own bbq station!

Michelob ULTRA​ is brewed for those who live life to the fullest, who pursue their health and happiness in equal measure. Since you all have been loving my air fryer recipes I thought this would be a fun one to share!
