Oven Free Menu Plan

The hot weather is sure to arrive soon and this is the time of year I start planning oven free meals. Because who wants to run the oven on a hot day.

Even though we’ve been having cloudy/rainy weather off and on, we had a few 80+ degree days recently. So the hot weather is sure to come back and stay soon. And maybe where you live it’s already arrived.

And if it’s hot where you live, then this oven free meal plan will be a real help to you. And even if it isn’t warm yet, oven free meals are quick and easy to make for a busy day.

Back in November 2019, we decided to avoid eating out for 12 weeks, that has now extended into May 2023. We haven’t eaten out in over 42 months now and at the end of this month it will be 43 months.

I thought for sure it was going to be tough, but with meal planning and keeping the house stocked well with easy to make meals, it’s been fairly easy to do.

And having a few easy meals to make each week has made eating at home all the time so much easier.

On occasion I’ve made more elaborate meals, but when you are looking to cooking each meal at home for an extended period, having easy to make meals is a must.

If you need a few oven free meals be sure to print the linked recipes. I make many of them often during the hot weather months.
