Summer is here and whether we like it or we don’t, we have to enjoy it with the kids around, especially now that it’s the holidays. One of the things that the whole family enjoys doing whether you are indoors or outdoors is eating. Everybody will be thinking about food and looks for anything new and exciting to eat.
