IT'S HOT! What I'm Cooking To Beat The Heat

Published 6 days ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader!

Happy 4th of July! It's been hotter than a pepper patch around here, and I'm doing everything I can to keep things cool, especially in the kitchen.

I've put together a list of my weekend eats that are perfect for keeping things cool and delicious...no matter what the temps are outside!

It's Too Hot To Cook

​Whipped Ranch Dip​

This dip is silky, light, and full of that tangy, herby ranch flavor we all love. Perfect with chips, fresh veggies, and spread on a sandwich!

​Bourbon Arnold Palmer​

Stay cool this weekend by sipping on a spiked Arnold Palmer made with lemonade, Southern sweet tea, and bourbon!

​Country Style Pork Ribs​

Let your slow cooker do the heavy lifting and pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal that won't heat up the kitchen.

​Cucumber Tomato Avocado Salad​

Crisp cucumbers, sweet and juicy tomatoes, and rich, creamy avocado tossed in a zesty homemade dressing.

​Crock Pot Baked Beans​

Slow-cooked, sweet, and savory baked beans with brown sugar and bacon are a side dish that’s pure perfection!

​Classic Creamy Coleslaw​

Fantastic as a side or piled high on a pulled pork sandwich, I make slaw just like my Mama and Grandmother made it.

​Refrigerator Pickles​

No cooking, no canning, no fuss — just fresh cucumbers, a sweet onion, a quick brine, and a few hours in the refrigerator.

​Southern Banana Pudding Trifle​

All the flavors of classic banana pudding with a few shortcuts to make this delicious dessert into a cool, quick, easy, no-bake trifle.

Shop my Summer Favorites

These are the tools I use in my Southern kitchen to prepare, serve, and host during the summer months!

​Show Me Your Southern Soul!​

I’d love to see your creations! Snap a pic of your dish and tag me on Instagram. Who knows—you might get featured in my next email!

Happy cooking, friend.
