The dog days of summer inspire us to search for cool menus.  Love those cold soups, salads and cold drinks.  Lighter meals are easy to take out onto the porch or deck for al fresco meal. Many recipes are no-cook, keeping the kitchen from heating up. So many meals can use the fresh produce available to us in the summer. All these recipes are simple and easy to prepare, giving you lots of time outdoors.
