Oh May…you were not a good month for healthy eating.  I debated even posting this because it’s so ridiculous; it seems eating out and frozen food were our staples!  With Lucy finally sleeping through the night and our summer schedule calming down, I’m hoping to get back into a groove soon.

      Yes! The hot weather always throws me off. If you have any easy summer recipes, you'll have to let me know.
