I noted last month that our cooler temperatures were about to go away. I was sure right! I know many areas of the country had snow this past week, but we’ve had temperatures in the 80s. I’m not ready for the heat, but it’s here now and will be until the fall. Despite the early heat, we are enjoying watching the flowers start to bloom.
This month will start our transition away from winter favorites (soups, casseroles, etc.) to spring/summer favorites (sandwiches, salads, etc.). As I’ve noted before, I try to avoid using the oven during the warm months because it adds so much heat to the house. Sadly, one thing I won’t be using in the coming weeks is our air fryer. It was recalled, so I’m waiting for the company to send a replacement. If you have a Cosori brand air fryer, be sure to check and see if it is among the recalled models. Here are the dinners we hope to eat this month (you can see past menus here).
