Summer came super late for us this year - our school year didn't end until July 21st! Partially because of snow day makeups and partially because in 2016 our Maryland governor delayed the start of the school year until after Labor Day (in order to encourage and extend beach tourism a few more weekends - the drama continues); so, because we start late, we end late.

What’s for Dinner: Week of 5.2
Lately, it seems that more and more friends and family are stressed out by the prospect of meal planning and prep. I have no idea when I became the go-to person for this subject, but alas!
