Even if you don’t love wraps, you’ll love flatbreads. Because sometimes, you just need a crunch.
I’m not much of a wrap person. Sometimes it works for me, but usually not. But when counting calories and trying to limit bread intake, sometimes you’re stuck with the wrap as the healthiest, lowest calorie option. But it doesn’t mean you have to have your wrap and eat it, too…
Transform them into flatbreads! Crispy, flavorful flatbreads – or crackers – can be so much more satisfying to eat than a soggy wrap. So I take that same wrap and make it do what I want it to do.
Place a wrap (or two – they store well after being baked) on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spray with a bit of cooking spray and add your favorite seasonings. I like some sea salt and Italian seasoning, maybe za’atar, or just some garlic salt. Try to match it up to the dish with which you’ll be pairing the cracker.
Use a sharp knife to cut into strips, or squares if you want smaller crackers.
Bake at 400ºF for 7-8 minutes, depending on how well done you like them. They will harden a bit more after you remove them from the oven.
Voila! Bye-bye wrap, hello crispy crunchy goodness!

A few years ago, my sister-in-law bought a water table for her kids. It kept the little ones very busy and cool on days she didn’t want to go to the pool. There’s lots of fun options in this category, including the 
If you’re kids are more into sand than water, Esti loved this Step2 Naturally Playful Sand Table. Unlike with a traditional sandbox, since the kids don’t sit in the sand here, they don’t get full of it and stray animals don’t get in either. Esti recommends filling it with

They don’t need to empty the toy closet. Close up those toy closet doors and remove four age-appropriate games. Set aside some balls and jump ropes. You can visit a dollar store and buy toys to keep everyone busy for the day so your children don’t come crying afterwards that the guests messed up all their toys.

If you hate to spray your grates with oil, try an onion instead. Slice an onion in half, and rub it onto the grates. This will prevent your food from sticking. When you’re done grilling, use the other half of the onion to remove any grease that is stuck on the grates.
A good piece of steak doesn’t need any fancy marinates, salt and pepper will do the trick. Salt your meats while they are resting on the counter. Just add the pepper before grilling. The salt will bring out the flavors. (Note: Hanger and skirt steak do not need any salt. Soak for 1 hour before grilling, changing the water 2-3 times). Alternately, marinate the meat in oil, salt and pepper while it is sitting on the counter. 
Do your franks become puffy and dry after grilling? Poke some holes in your franks and marinate them in duck sauce. You’ll have juicy grilled franks.
