😰 15 EASY recipes to through May-cember


Hi Reader,

I recently heard the month of May described as "May-cember", because can feel just as crazy and busy as December. I'm pretty sure I uttered (wailed?) the word "YES!" out loud in solidarity. 🫒

From end of year theme days, concerts, recitals, and field trips, practices, appointments, and games - I feel like I'm holding onto dear life until school lets out for the summer.

If you're in the same boat, let me lighten your dinner load with this list of quick-cooking dinner recipes that take minimal prep.

Hold on tight and we'll get through the rest of this crazy month together with help from these easy, gluten free, family-friendly meals!
