The Short Order Cook · Angela - The Short Order Cook

As summer is winding down but the heat is ramping up this month I am sharing only recipes that can be made without any cooking at all. So keep the ovens, stoves, air fryers, slow cookers, & grills off but still eat well.

So whether you are hosting a pool party, afternoon tea, or happy hour, there is something to try. Below are just 2 of my many No-Bake Desserts & 2 of my best Easy Salads. It’s hard to choose so view them all.

Confession time, this month I drink way too much of my favorite Iced Coffee Recipe. Sitting outside with a cold drink while reading is my go-to summer habit. I just finished My Life in France: Julia Child & it’s a delight. I highly recommend it & it’s 50% off right now! I will be adding it to my list of Best Nonfiction Food Books. * link to products/services may result in a small commission. #ad

Before I reveal my recommendations for August recipes - my #1 most viewed recipe in July (the same #1 from June!) is HOMEMADE BANANA ICE CREAM. The universe is telling you to make some today.

Last month I shared a ton of my homemade ice cream recipes & the response was amazing. Thousands of you let me know you are ice cream lovers - so I published my new recipe for Strawberry Ice Cream ASAP this last week. Make sure to subscribe since 2 more ice creams are coming soon.

If you enjoy entertaining outside this time of year, my Appetizer & Drink recipe section is for you. Buy some pre-toasted bread rounds & fresh juicy tomatoes so my Tomato Bruschetta recipe becomes 100% no cook.

Don’t forget, you can always follow, find & save all my recipes on PINTEREST. Right now my top trending recipes are for NO KNEAD BREAD & LIMONCELLO LEMON DROP. Click & save both so you don’t miss out.

WHICH RECIPE DO YOU WANT TO TRY FIRST THIS MONTH? PLEASE SHARE IN THE COMMENTS BELOW OR ASK ANY QUESTION. I always look forward to hearing from others, don’t be shy.

Thanks for reading! This post is public so feel free to share it.
