I usually try to plan mostly oven free meals this time of year. My kitchen gets all the afternoon and evening sunlight which is beautiful but is also hot. 🙂
This time, however, I don’t have a choice. Last Sunday morning we had a series of brief power outages that seem to have fried my oven. The stove works just fine, but the oven is dead. So while we wait on the repair company to return our calls (seriously, what is up with that!), I’m doing oven free meals!
It’s not been too challenging to come up with meal ideas and I’m grateful it’s at a time when I wasn’t planning on doing a lot of baking anyway!
On The Menu
Breakfast:
- Peaches, Yogurt & Granola (possibly my favorite breakfast of all time)
- Honey Nut Cheerios & Peaches
Lunch:

I hope you have a delicious week!

Thanks – I’m just glad it didn’t go out in the middle of holiday baking season. I’ve been able to manage pretty well with the stove, microwave and crock pot.
