Summer weather has arrived in the Midwest, at least some days it actually feels like Summer. For Mister Tipsy and Me, this means beach days, and lots of time sitting on our deck. For others it means feeding their kids all day long. Summer is a great time to keep easy to grab and eat snacks and meals on hand.

Continue ReadingI have to admit, I am a sandwich snob. I believe it all started when I worked in the deli of my local grocery store. I was in charge of making the catering trays and I took pride in the mini sandwiches I usually had to make.
