FavoritePinShare So, like I said, four boys. They eat me out of house and home (as my mom likes to say). But they are my built-in taste-testers, which I guess is a good thing, right?

Summers are for going to the beach, BBQs, picnics, hanging by the pool, visiting the neighborhood ice cream shop at least once a week (Tim is worried the woman who works there will soon know us by name! ?) and making delicious chilled soups that require no stove or oven.

But in reality, summers are for doing some of these things, but mostly it’s Olivia hanging by the AC 24/7, having nightmares about the electricity bill and regretting not getting a membership for the community pool....

Omelette is a dish that has connections to many different cuisines around the world. There are many versions that feature slightly different cooking methods and a number of preparations that vary a bit from culture to culture.

They are usually served folded over with some sort of filling....
