With summer finally here, my kids are spending a majority of their time outdoors in the hot and humid sun. From playing in the sprinklers to riding their bikes up and down the sidewalks to running around in the backyard, they work up a sweat each and every day. When they finally venture back indoors, they are famished and ready to devour the entire kitchen.
