College girl has been done with Spring semester for weeks now while the other members of the household have still been in "school-work" mode. But, now I have joined The School's Out for summer group! By day I work at a school. Blogging is my late afternoon, evening and crack of dawn job. Now that school is over, I can focus on the blog all day long...well, in between catching some summer rays. The youngest has four more days of school before she too can join the School's Out for summer gang...those pesky snow days. I'll have to still head in to work to keep up with new students coming to the school and those transferring out, but that schedule is super flexible and just hours here and there. So get ready, because I have lots and lots of yummy recipes coming your way. Before you head off to the pool, grab your smart phone to check out all the new A Sprinkle of This and That recipes and peruse through past posts...you may have missed a good one! Keep one eye on the kiddos in the pool and the other eye on the blog. Are you ready? Let's start things off with a fabulous salad!
