Texas summers are not joke, ya'll. It's hit or passed 100 degrees every day for the past... I can't even tell you how long. While central air helps keeps things bearable in the house, having the oven on or standing over the stove throws my AC into overdrive. Hello, hefty utility bill.
To spare my AC, I enjoy taking my summer cooking outside to the grill. Yes, a hot grill under the hot sun makes for a sweaty cook, but at least the inside of my house doesn't heat up as a result. That said, when it's so hot for so long, I get to a point where I don't want sweat by the grill or the stove or the oven, no matter how tasty the food will end up being. Instead, I beat the heat by making one of these equally scrumptious no-cook recipes.
