Sunshine, vacation, lazy days, kids out of school, seasides, lakes, boats, sand, hiking, picnics, bike rides, ahhhh summer. It feels like there is so much to do outdoors this time of year that spending too much time indoors, in a kitchen, huddled over a hot stove, feels a bit imperfect. If you are feeling a bit uninspired in the kitchen this time of year, don't worry, it will pass and it's totally normal.

Come fall, I get that 'spend all day in my kitchen' fever once again. But for now, let's make some easy, fast, summery meals, snacks, treats and sips and get back out there in the sun!..
