Summer!!!
This time of year might possibly be my favorite! From backyard picnics underneath our giant shade tree to puddle jumping on rainy days to lazy days spent lounging in our inflatable dino kiddie pool…The picnics and the parties, the beach and the blueberry farms, the season-long submersion in my beloved veggie garden… I could ramble on forever, (haha promise I won’t!) I just love Summer!
In that same breath, you’ll here me curse Summer for all its drama. The mosquitos and the sweating, burning yourself on literally every surface in your car and the sweating, weeds taking over my lawn and. the. sweating.
I’m pretty sure the expression “so hot you could fry an egg on it” originates from hotter-than-hades Florida summers.
It’s freaking moltenhere!
While I’d love a crisp 70 degree sunshinyday at all times, I’ll have to settle for living the majority of my years here as a hot sweaty mess. It’s okay though, I have an arsenal of no-bake recipes to help get me through it.
The last thing most of us want to do right now is turn on the oven, right? Here are some of my favorite recipes to help beat the heat!
