School’s out for Summer! Which means our schedules get a little loose and spending quality time with the kids beats meal prepping and wasting time in the kitchen. The best way to get a great meal on the table with minimal work is the GRILL – a summer staple. Toss in a few easy sides and a refreshing drink and you have a simple meal that looks like you’ve been slaving away in the kitchen!
