So, it’s that time of the year again. School’s out, the kids are home, and your sanity is hanging by a thread. I don’t know about you, but the thought of cooking three meals a day (plus snacks, because kids are basically bottomless pits) while trying to keep the little rascals entertained feels like an Olympic sport. And let’s be real, we’re all about finding shortcuts that save us time, money, and energy.
