Summer Meals That Won’t Heat up the House
With days full of swimming and sunshine, sometimes there isn’t a lot of energy left for meal-prepping. Fortunately, summer’s nice weather allows for multiple options for easy cooking. From grilling to foil packet meals and slow cooker recipes, clean-up can be kept to a minimum and the kitchen can stay cooler.
