Menu Plan Monday: Hot Summer Days

Sharing is caring!

We are having record breaking temperatures already this summer with the temperature over 100 most days!  Yet, yesterday we had a storm so bad that we had approximately 1 inch hail balls.  Go figure!  Anyway, it is so hot around here that I certainly don’t feel like standing over a hot stove, but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. LOL!  This week’s menu is all about trying to keep my kitchen at it’s coolest by not having that stove on for too long and in some cases not at all!

In addition to this Menu Plan Monday: Hot Summer Days menu that can help you keep your kitchen cool, I have included some awesome summer time resources for you and the kids.
