Deelightful Dinners School’s Out Edition

We are officially entering summer territory at our house. The breakneck pace of life during the school year is slowing to a halt. We don’t have as many places to go or things to do, and its pure heaven. I am looking forward to lazy nights, lounging in the yard, sipping my new favorite beverage-Target’s Lime Margarita crystal light mix and reading. The Big Man is in the process of finishing our picnic table, so I am looking forward to more al fresco meals. In the meantime…
