It’s time for some tasty summer meals that don’t involve too much cooking! We have so many favorites. I frequently pull out my mother’s cookbook because she has so many amazing recipes!
Pro Tip: I cook extra meat when I make it for a meal, then use it for leftovers for the rest of the week. We put it on sandwiches, wraps, rice bowls, salads, and about anything else we can think of. It really makes meal prep easier (especially for little kids). This summer try to keep the stove off as much and make more tasty cold meals!
