It’s summer and we’re all so busy with the summer things we love to do. For us it’s swim lessons, vacations, playing with friends at the park, BBQing, trips to the zoo, evening walks, and gardening. As much as I love to cook sometimes I just need a night off when we have a lot going on. And now 10 goodLife {eats} readers will have the opportunity for a night off as well. Head down to Sonic with family or friends (or by yourself, I won’t tell) and sample the offerings from their menu – which now includes whole grain buns and the option for fruit in the kids meals.

My favorite summertime activities are gardening, walking the dog, and water fights.Gardening is the predominant one now with 27 tomato plants, more than 60 bean plants, cilantro, lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, 2 types of peas, potatoes, onions and broccoli. I spend a lot of time getting bitten by the bugs in the veggie garden, but adore my time in the flower garden.. and get to eat perfect tomatoes inside with the air conditioning… life just doesn't get much better!
