Anti-Oven Summer Meals

Here it is! The beginnings of my "anti-oven summer meals" list. I wanted to get this list out to you while it was, in fact, still summer, but please check back often, as I will be adding other meals. I've been testing out a few of these goods lately & have been pleased at the results. Plus, my kitchen has stayed below 87, so that's a bonus!

All of the meals in blue are links with recipes that I have posted. All of the others are just ideas to get you thinking about summer cooking, so you will need to search for the specific recipes if you need them. I'll be adding more recipes as I land upon them, but in the meantime, enjoy these cool dinners!
