Chocolate-Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies [RECIPE]

Sometimes we just get a hankering for indulgent, chocolatey cookies. And because we are huge fans of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, pairing chocolate and peanut butter together in a cookie is just a no brainer. Yet when it is over 100 degrees outside, no one wants to turn on an oven. That doesn’t mean, however, that you need to turn to store-bought cookies. With these chocolate-peanut butter no-bake cookies, you can still whip up a batch of homemade cookie magic without even raising the temperature in your kitchen. You’re welcome!

Herb Melon Salad [RECIPE]

Earth is heating up pretty much everywhere, but especially here in Texas where we are no stranger to triple digit temperatures. On those super-hot days, we actively avoid cranking up the oven and prefer to look for refreshing, cool eats like this herb melon salad. Using farm fresh melons and herbs straight from our backyard, this is one of those dishes that only gets tastier the longer it sits in the fridge. If you plan to entertain, make it a day ahead for optimal flavor. It goes great with pretty much everything!
