Healthy Diet Habit Tip of the Day
or a Recipe of the Day
Stealthy healthy cooking is a must for those with kids or picky significant others! I am usually not a cheater, but this is a healthy diet habit that is a sweet cheat! I started with stealthy healthy cooking until my kids were used to the taste of veggies, then gradually added larger chunks of them to our meals.

Season
June 21st falls within the Summer Season in the Northern Hemisphere.
Summer is the Hottest of the Four Seasons! It follows Spring and is before Fall! The kids are out of school and many vacations happen in summer, which means more family time. Hopefully a beach is involved!
The first day of Summer is also known as the Summer Solstice where we enjoy the most sunlight of the year! After this day, the amount of daylight starts to decrease each day.
Check out our Summer Season page for information about Summer, Summer Dates, Major Summer Holidays and Observances, Major Summer Festivals, Fun Facts About Summer, Summer Food Tips, Summer Gardening, Summer Preparation, Summer Quotes, and Summer Weather Information.
