I'm baaaaack!

(Sorry I've been a little MIA)

Hey gang! Life has been absolutely nuts and if I'm completely honest I don't think I cooked a meal for 3 weeks, making it a little difficult to post things haha. So we're all human! Life happens. I'm getting back on track this week so don't worry, Hungry Hayley has returned! I'm going to mix things up this next week and prep our lunches ahead of time so I'll be sure to include that in the weekly menu. Good to plan ahead with such a busy season since making dinner every night lately has not been realistic.

Have a great Memorial Day - and be sure to take some time during the day to remember all of the wonderful men and women who have given their lives to defend our freedom. Appreciate you all, happy to be getting back to the norm :)
