Grill Recipes When it’s too Hot to Cook

Happy Tuesday everyone. I know many parts of the country are experiencing extreme heat.  It is that time of year when heating up the house with the stove or oven is not very appealing.  I have had a lot of specific recipe requests lately which prompted me to gather some of my favorite grilling recipes together in a post. Here are my favorite grill recipes when it’s too hot to cook.

I hope you enjoyed Grill Recipes when it is too hot to cook.  Is the weather unbearably hot where you are?  We have certainly not had a stellar summer here with the wind and fog.  I am hoping August will be better.  I will be back on Thursday with Jennifer for our monthly over 50 fashion edit.  Our friend Tania from 50 isn’t old will be joining us.  We will be talking about summer accessories.
