Goodnight, Wednesday

As a rule, I don't love to cook. Put me in a muggy Michigan summer, and I REALLY struggle in the kitchen! 

I refuse to turn on the oven in the summer, and standing over a hot stove is NOT my cup of tea. 🥵☕

My goal is to try to make as many meals as I can without heat. You know, salads...and salads. Seriously, I need more ideas besides 🥗. 

Help a girl out! What are your go-to cool summer recipes?

Teen Talk: Here's an easy, albeit a little annoying one for ya: skibidi. I'm sure you've heard it, but what does it mean? It means -- nothing. It's basically a filler word and there is no real meaning behind it. The more you know. 🤷‍♀️
