I’m so pumped.

Why you ask?

Well, this weekend we SPRING forward. Even though we lose an hour of sleep, it’s a small sacrifice because I’m ready for longer days, warmer weather, and the ability to grill out all things. Plus, my friend Katie and I will pick up our Wednesday walks which is the best because it’s a chance to do a mid-week brain dump ( and make a pit stop for wine)!

See, daylight savings brings so much potential!! Curious, are you a fan? Or just kind of meh about it? The bigger question is, why the hell do we still do daylight savings?

Anyway, as we gear up for warmer weather I thought we should talk about sides. I have the hardest time coming up with sides to make during the week that aren’t sauteed veggies and a loaf of bread. Do you struggle with sides too?
