LaRee @ Broad Horizons — Don’t Heat Up the Kitchen

This summer I’ve been more intentional about finding meals that don’t heat the kitchen too much, since take-out all summer isn’t in the budget.

Meg @ Adventures with Jude — I’m Melting

When it’s the dog days of August, you do NOT want to be standing over a hot stove for long. Here’s a whole meal – salad, entrée, and dessert – that doesn’t need to involve the oven!

Lexi @ Lextin Academy — Cinnamon No Bake Cookies

We’ve made some homemade popsicles to stay cool, but the kids really wanted some cookies. So, instead of turning on the oven we tried a twist on the No Bake Cookie recipe that they love. It is now a favorite dessert at our house!
