Last week, I asked Whit what he’d like for one of his last suppers before summer officially comes to an end. His answer was immediate. “Pizzas on the Big Green Egg.” We’ve been making homemade pizzas this way for years, and they never disappoint. I know I’ve shared them here many times before, but they’re… Read More
I recently shared how we helped John meal prep for the first few weeks of his summer internship. Well, now that summer fraternity rush has settled down a bit, he was home for a quick 24-hour stint last weekend, and before long we were all back in the kitchen prepping meals again.
