It is H O T out there! There’s minimal retreat from the summer heat so I’m here to share to a few recipes that are sure to help you get through with minimal effort. We all love a no-bake treat or a quick and easy salad. A cool drink to relax with and something sweet at the end of the day. You can hide in your air conditioned house or get out to the pool with the kids and not worry about taking time to turn on the oven and cook. So, hit the farmer’s market for fresh fruit and greens, make some homemade ice cream or popsicles, chill-out with neighbors with a cocktail and appetizers. Here’s 15 Perfect no effort recipes for summer. Load up on Salads, main dishes, desserts and drinks so that you can relax and enjoy the summer.
