No-oven recipes to keep your kitchen cool this summer.

I can handle a lot of things in the summer.

Humidity? A Midwest girl will deal.

Mosquitoes? Annoying, but survivable.

The constant application of sunscreen? We persevere.

But when it’s 95 degrees out, the one thing I’m not going to do is turn on the oven.

These are the days for big salads, dinner cooked in the air fryer, and enjoying it all inside with the air conditioning blasting. Here’s what you’ll find on my menu.
