Hello everyone! I’m smack dab in the middle of some atypical weeks. This past week we went to Park City for Spring Break, and now I’m on the East Coast touring a couple of colleges with Cate. SOOOO…not much cooking and a whole lot of flexibility happening. But I wanted to put up a quick post so YOU can share your menus. Have at it and I’ll be back in action next week!
